Additional info:
Gusto is a very misunderstood boy that is looking for someone that is patient and understanding. He does have a lot of insecurities within himself that cause him to be protective of his person and his environment. He does have a bite history; because of this he needs to be in a home that is calm and doesn't have a lot of visitors coming and going. Gusto would love a home with a yard so that he can run and be his silly self. He also adores other dogs of all sizes and energy levels, but he does love to play and given his size and him not knowing his own strength, it's best that he be with a dog similar in size. He does have separation anxiety, but once he builds his confidence this will likely improve. Gusto bonds easily once he trusts and is quite the character when he opens up, he is playful and an overall goof ball. Car rides are not his favorite. Gusto is crate trained and walks well on leash.
