My story

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

Our gentle giant Gus is a sweet, lovable, easy going, sometimes shy boy who wants nothing more than to give you all the love in his big heart! Gus likes to play with other dogs, go for walks and of course hang out with YOU! While he's a big guy, he seems to be convinced that he is smaller as he feels he fits into your lap! :) You of course can't resist his charms when he looks at you with those adoring eyes and gives you a gentle kiss!

Our cuddly boy is a HUGE hit with the volunteers. Here is just one note about him:

"What an AWESOME gentle giant Gus is! He is so sweet. He loves to be near you, and when I say near, I mean almost on top of you. He has a habit of leaning against your legs when sitting. He is a very big guy, and has such sweet eyes that just melt your heart! We went to the park, to relax and look around. He is such a big love. He just collapses into your lap (again, not an easy thing with his size) but I loved every minute! What a wonderful addition Gus is!"

Gus's number one wish list item for his new family is plenty of LAP TIME every day! :) Another canine friend for him to play with would be great too. He loves leisurely walks, rolling in the grass and did we mention snuggling with his favorite people?! If you have the home that Gus is looking for, please complete an application for our sweet boy today - www.azrescue.org.

Gus weighed 70.3 pounds when we saved him from the kill list.
