About Gus Gus

HEADLINER : Gus Gus, the Giant, Loveable Goofball HISTORY : Gus Gus, of no fault of his own, came to MTM from a loving family. Former family reported him being great with other dogs and cats as well as kids.... though he has been reported to find and eat socks PERSONALITY : Mild-mannered, passive with our male dog, loves laying around and hanging out. Always down for car rides and is quite a good hiking partner. He is a sucker for treats and belly rubs, though be aware that we tend to call him Gus Gus "Niagara Falls" after he drinks, as much of the water that goes in tends to dribble back out... nothing a few old towels cannot handle. This dog is a HUGE love-bug! FAVORITE ACTIVITIES : Greeting his people, walks, playing with sticks, playing with other dogs and kids, car rides with windows down, eating treats and lots of chilling. MEDICAL ISSUES : Currently waiting for his neuter surgery (scheduled for early November), is on an antibiotic for yeasty ears, and is being treated for infected pressure sores on his legs from laying on hard floors (he has been getting used to dog beds and sometimes the couch during his time with his foster family). He has lost weight (was 225 and is currently 192 lbs.) and is working on gaining it back. Tested positive for Lyme Disease on 9/11/26. Currently up to date with vaccines and is on heart guard treatment WHAT WOULD BE THE BEST KIND OF HOME: A loving home that can give Gus Gus plenty of car rides and leisure walks and nice hikes in nature. A home with people that love him and his big head, even if he drools. A home that has room for a big couch potato sidekick. He has been great with his foster-brother dog (a male great dane) and our 2 teenage sons.
