1/4/26: Meet Gustaf! 🐾
Gustaf is a handsome, energetic boy who recently joined our rescue as a transfer from another shelter. He originally came in as a stray, but it didn’t take long for his fun-loving personality to shine through. About 2 years old and weighing around 75 pounds, Gustaf is a big, athletic dog with lots of youthful enthusiasm.
One of Gustaf’s favorite things in the world is playing ball—he’s always ready for a game and would love an active home that can keep up with his energy. He’s pleasant and friendly with people, enjoying attention and companionship from his human friends.
As a young, energetic dog, Gustaf will benefit from obedience training to help him polish his manners and channel his energy in positive ways. With consistency, structure, and plenty of exercise, he has all the potential to become an amazing companion.
If you’re looking for a playful, people-friendly dog who’s ready to learn and have fun, Gustaf might be the perfect match for you!
