Apply to ADOPT - cut and paste this link into your web browser: www.welcomehomedogrescue.org/adoption/application-to-adopt-a-companion/.
Weight: 10 lbs
Age: 3 years
Personality: Sweet and friendly, active, typically terrier personality
Coat: Silky, NON-SHEDDING, will require regular grooming
Training: Sit and wait, would benefit from a training class
Potty trained: 80%, did mark for a week after first arriving, but does not now

History: Gus was rescued from South Korea with his brother Romeo. Their mom dumped the dogs when she found out she was pregnant! They were saved from euthanasia by angels at a wonderful rescue in Korea, but they have been unable to find a forever home, so they were sent to the USA to find their forever home. Gus is being fostered by the family who adopted Romeo.
Fostered in: Los Angeles
Type of home: Gus would be perfect for a person who enjoys spending time with their dog. He loves to sit on laps and to be held, but he also loves strutting his stuff on a walk! He looks so proud as he walks! Gus would be comfortable in either an apartment or house, with a retired or working person, a single or couple, or family with kids, age 8 or older. He enjoys the company of other animals, but he would also be suitable for a single dog household.
Crate trained: YES
Good with Dogs: YES
Good with Kids: YES
Good with Cats: YES, did not react to cat at vet's office
Adoption fee (non-refundable): $300
All dogs are fully vetted, tested for heartworm, microchipped, and up to date with vaccinations.
Our adoption process looks like this:
1. Adoption application review by WHDR board
2. Adoption application approval
3. Meet and greet
4. Home safety check
5. Final approval and adoption finalized
Our volunteers, donors and adopters mean the world to us! Without you, we couldn't do what we do - saving the lives of abused, neglected and abandoned dogs and providing them with a loving forever home.
