My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Gus is a very handsome, playful clown of a 10-month-old, 78-pound, male Mastiff or mix looking for a loving guardian. Gus was found as a stray in Gary, Indiana. He did his time at Animal Control and is now living in a wonderful foster home in Chicago where he is doing well with all the other dogs, and playful with dog-friendly cats. He’s a gangly pup who’s quick to catch on to new commands and new routines. He learned to sit on command, and take treats gently in just 24 hours. Gus is well-behaved in the home and car; housebroken, crate-trained, and good on leash (but strong). He loves playing with other dogs, toys and balls. We’re not sure what Gus’ life was like before he was rescued, but he is a little fearful at times, so he’s recommended for someone with dog experience, without small children in the home, who has time to exercise and train a big lug of a pup. Gus is now healthy, neutered, heartworm-tested, micro-chipped, and up-to-date on rabies and distemper vaccines. To meet and possibly adopt him, please contact his foster mom Kelly at kelly@dogsplaychicago.com or 773-251-3090 His adoption fee of $200 benefits rescued pets.
