We do appreciate your interest in Gussie!! We have a request that will help us so much, when responding will you please use the application at sparrowdogs.com, or begin our correspondence with information about yourself such as home, yard/fence, other pets, family, work hours. Thanks!!
We call this big fluffy guy Augustus...he came to us as August was soon to arrive. But, he is not a really formal guy, actually he is kind of silly and goofy, so Gussie fits him just fine. Gussie is about 15 pounds and around 2 years old. He was described as a "Yorkiepoo"...perhaps, we really do not know. He looks like he could be havanese, perhaps something else, we are not guaranteeing any breed but he appears to be a mix of the more hypoallergenic ones. He had a family that "abandoned him", not sure what that entailed, but he was no longer with them. Another family took him in for two weeks and then gave him up to a shelter.
Gussie was at a large shelter and was more than overwhelmed, and like so many was not on his best behavior. Since coming to our home he has settled in and has been so incredibly lovable. He is the type of dog that just want to be your best pal, he is THE dog that will be by your side. He looks at us with those loving eyes, as if he has known us his entire life! He so wants to find that special love in his life. WE love Gussie, but he really needs his very own special people.
BUT....transitioning to a new home may bring some challenges as well, some dog experience, patience and TLC go a long way. OLDER kids will be OK, no littles at this time. He has been nothing but sweet and loving with his people, but is anxious around some other dogs, so being an only dog would probably be best, Gussie wants you all to himself!!
Again, with all that being said, Gussie has been a little teddy bear in our home. He is polite, housebroken, happily goes into his crate when we leave or go to bed. He loves carrying around his favorite toys and is getting more and more comfortable running around and playing with the other dogs. He is the sweetest boy ever, he will go out and explore the yard and then have to run back and sit whomsoever feet happen to be joining him in the yard. He was a very scruffy boy bot got all cleaned up and looking fab!. He is such a handsome boy, and his haircut will only accentuate what a cutie he is!! Gussie's adoption fee is $450,now $400 for the month of August!! Please email Kristine at joysparrows@gmail.com
