Why I need a new home

Busy schedule

My story

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


Gus is my 11 year old pug, who i've had since he was 8 weeks old. It absolutely breaks my heart to know that I have to surrender him to a home that can give him the environment that he needs. He used to be the happiest dog around, as I used to have a job that let me be home all day, every day, in addition to the other dog that i had. Once that dog passed of old age (a couple years ago), Gus became lonely/depressed, and stopped acting himself. While it's not an option for me to get a second dog, I've seen just how much he perks up when he's around other dogs (like when he stays at my friends house when i'm out of town).

My job has evolved into a 60 hour work week, which no longer lets me spend barely any time at home. Gus is alone all day, most days, and it kills me to know that he's not getting the attention he needs. Other than some arthritis, he's otherwise in pretty good health, and just needs a place where he can thrive. I'll miss him terribly, but want him to be happy.
