Hi, I’m Gus – a 7-year-old handsome American Bulldog mix with movie star looks and a heart that’s still learning to trust. I tend to keep my circle small until I know you’re the real deal. Earn my trust (and bring treats and a Chuckit ball), and you’ll see I’m all in.
Meet Gus – Our drop-dead gorgeous ball enthusiast. He was picked up by St. Paul Animal Control, and his owner was never found. Let’s be real, Gus isn’t a “jump-into-your-arms” kind of guy. He’s more of a slow but steady trust building kind of guy. But give him time, some patience, and a ball (yeah, it’s kind of a big deal), and you’ll unlock a whole new level of loyal. Gus isn’t a starter dog – he’s more of a “hidden gem” seasoned dog owner type dog. But once you’re in his circle of trust, you’re in for life. You’ll get tail wags, silly antics, and unmatched joy of earning the trust of a dog who really needs his person. Gus loves to go on walks but just don’t expect a calm stroll in the park – Gus walks like he’s late for a very important meeting. He’s got places to be and smells to sniff. Loyal, goofy, and a little extra – he is a special boy with a big personality. Gus would thrive in a home that understands that love takes time, but once he’s in, he’s all in. Bonus points if you have a strong leash hand and an endless supply of Chuckit balls!
If you are into loyalty and laughs, with a “work-in-progress” dog, who’ll love you almost as much as his ball? Then look no further. He’s special - He knows it. We know it. And soon you will too. Gus is waiting – ball in mouth, heart on sleeve.
