Here's what the humans have to say about me:
He is beautiful, intelligent, loving and playful. Gus is a stunning 1-1/2 year old, 70 pound, Chocolate Labrador Retriever goofball who just wants to be around people, Gus is a very gentle and calm in his demeanor. Gus is a wonderful dog, he is great with people, if you want a doggie that it is safe with children, Gus is the one. Gus get along with all well behaved dogs, but cats are out of the question.
Gus was brought to the kennel after being with a foster because he has separation anxiety issues when left alone. Clearly, this special guy needs to find just the right fosters or adopters that have experience with a doggie with separation anxiety and want to take the time help him learn it is safe to be alone.
Gus will coward hearing loud voices and seeing objects like brooms, sticks and the like, which makes us think someone tried to deal with his anxiety issues by screaming at him or attempting to correct his behavior with rough treatment. Moving on from a terrible ordeal can be one of the hardest things in the world, and sometimes all we need to get through it is someone who truly understands.
Gus was recently adopted by a family with 3 children under the age of 8 and a 5 year old female dog, he did great in every respect, displaying only minor anxiety separation behavior issues, the family loved him and believed they had found the perfect dog, but there were two cats in the household and Gus killed one of them. With tears on their eyes they had to return Gus to us.
Come met him, you will fall in love. With a lot of patience, understanding and loving care, Gus will claim the mature confidence of a well-rounded doggie.Gus is fully vaccinated, he is heartworm negative, neutered and microchipped.
If you are an experienced foster or adopter and would like to foster him or maybe give her a Forever Home call or text Miguel at 817-798-8416, Lauren at 214-914-7368 or inquire at Family Pet Care at 817-451-7387
