My story

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

Introducing Gus & Junie

This sweet pair was discovered on the side of a country highway. A 3rd dog was deceased in the ditch. They wouldn't leave her side.😔 A good samaritan noticed them at the same location two days in a row. She continued to visit them & feed them in that same location every day for a week while reaching out to rescues for help. That's where we came in.. the pups were moved to a loving foster home. They've been so grateful & loving. More about them:

"Gus is a big lovebug who would climb into your lap if he could. He loves any kind of attention & he loves to play & tumble. He's learned a few commands. He's extremely smart & he's the first one to upstage the other dogs by learning the fastest. He does great with treat rewards. He'll often greet me by standing on his hind legs, putting his paws on my shoulders for a snuggle. He gets along playfully with other dogs, but does get a bit jealous & will give a little growl if they crowd him. He's doing so much better about standing back if I tell him to. He's still too eager to make friends with cats.. so no cat friends for him for now. He very much wants to please. It's obvious how grateful he is to have the constant love & attention he didn't have before being rescued.❤️‍🩹"

"Junie is so sweet & kind. She's still very shy unless the other dogs are barking out greetings & she'll join in. She loves any attention & she flips over to show her belly for rubs every time we walk by her. She loves other dogs & she's just so excited every morning to see everyone. She's ok with cats if they're introduced slowly. She likes to sleep in a crate with an open door, but mostly just wants to be by us. She loves to run & play & swim in the pond next door!💦 She needs playtime, but she's calm just hanging out too. She's learned sit & stay. Junie is a joy to be with."

💞Gus & Junie are about a year old & they can be adopted separately or as a pair.
