Gus is currently getting some extra TLC in one of the shelter offices. Please ask at the front desk if you’d like to meet him!
This big, handsome fellow can’t wait to find a quiet new home and bestie. Having spent the past decade in the same home with a couple of trusted caregivers, and with relatively little experience making new friends, Gus has understandably found his arrival at the shelter stressful. He is seeking a patient adopter to give him the chance to feel safe again, and who will gently gain his trust by offering him a more hands-off approach. Over time, given opportunities to seek interactions on his terms, and find comfort in his new routine, we expect Gus will make a lovely, mellow companion. To aid in a low-stress transition for Gus, he will only be rehomed to a family without children or with kids at least 10 years of age, and as the only animal in his new home.
Gus is what we lovingly call a Golden Nugget – a pet whose shine only grows brighter once you take the time to know him. He’s ready to surprise you and charm you!
