Here's what the humans have to say about me:
NOTE: All our Cupids are fostered in private homes. An approved application MUST be on file before proceeding with meet-and-greet. The online application can be found at http://www.caninecupids.org/adopt-.html.
Meet Gus!
Gus is a 3 year old Pomeranian mix. He’s a sweet, affectionate little dog that loves to play, but also enjoys cuddling. Gus is very good with kids and big dogs. Gus loves to play with other small dogs and is learning how to improve his manners (sometimes he doesn’t know when to stop; we are working on this aspect of his socialization).
Gus knows his basic commands (sit, down), has his own little dance and responds well to voice commands. He is very smart and seems to enjoy learning new tricks. He is fully potty trained and crate trained. He has already earned many nick-names like “little bear” and “ewok”. Gus would do very well in a home with or without children, and potentially another dog. He would also do well as an only dog. Gus has been neutered, chipped and is up to date on all of his vaccinations.
Gus' adoption fee is $200 and he is being fostered in southeastern Wisconsin. Because all our Cupids are fostered in private homes, an approved application MUST be on file before proceeding with a meet-and-greet. The online application can be found at http://www.caninecupids.org/adopt-.html.

Our Thoughts on Visual Breed Identification
Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable. For most of our adoptable Cupids we are only guessing at the predominant breed or breed mix. We think it’s most important is to get to know each dog as an individual! We then do our best to describe each of our adoptable Cupids based on their personalities in order to determine whether they’ll make good companions based on prospective adopters’ lifestyles. Dog behavior is not exclusive to breed — it’s a complex mix of nature and nurture.
