My story

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

Meet Gus! Jack and Gus are a bonded pair of brothers and must find a home together. Prior to coming to Whiskers these boys definitely had a hard life. We have done a ton of medical care on them, they have both had complete dentals, bloodwork FIVFELV negative. They are the sweetest boys. They are playful, the age we have on them as an estimate based on teeth, body shape etc. We estimate them to be around 10 year old. They do play like they are younger boys so it could be that they were neglected medical care for their entire life before coming to us so their teeth were bad. They were previously adopted, and when the family had to move in with the in-laws due to mold in their home, Jack and Gus struggled with the high energy dogs in the home. They may do OK with a super calm older dog, but they would prefer to have a gentle, calm home. All of our cats are fixed, vaccinated, vetted, and come microchipped too. Many have had recent dental and bloodwork done as well.
