My story

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

We adopted Gus from a rescue at 3 months old and he is now 9 months old. His new owner needs to be experienced and ready for a high energy and high drive dog. He is a Belgian Malinois / American Bully mix (found out from DNA test), so he does amazing with training and commands. He loves to cuddle in the mornings and evenings. However, he is high energy and dominant, which can turn into aggression if it goes unchecked. He's gone to training and we have had an in home trainer work with him and assess him. There is an option for free training with his current in home trainer as well that has been graciously offered for his new family. As he's grown, he's proven to be a bit too much for my wife and 11 year old to handle while my work demands have changed so we need to find a new home for him; one that's fitting, understanding, and can continue to train and work with him. He's a great boy that needs the right home environment to thrive.
