Meet Gus (aka Gus Gus)!
This adorable 4-year-old Golden Retriever mix weighs about 30 pounds (he’s working on adding a few more!) and is ready to start his next chapter in life.

Gus hasn’t had it easy, but his resilient spirit shines through. When things weren’t looking good for him at the shelter, the wonderful team at GRCGLA Rescue stepped in to give him the second chance he truly deserves. Somewhere along the way, Gus got an “owie” that affected his vision — he can still see, but it’s not perfect. That doesn’t stop him one bit! He’s careful as he moves around but still playful, happy, and full of life.

Gus loves snuggles, gentle walks, and being close to his people. The volunteers who care for him can’t say enough about how sweet, engaging, and lovable he is. He’s just waiting for his forever family to come along and show him what it feels like to be home — that will truly be the best day ever! 

***Our boy is doing so well!  He is all healed from his neuter surgery and is now spending his days at Doggie Disneyland where he gets to play play play with lots of other dogs in the Big Dog Play Group!  He is having a blast there!  Staff say he is doing really well and is a social butterfly.  We are just thrilled he can burn off his energy and socialize with lots of other pups.

Our sweet boy Gus is doing so well and continues to wait so patiently for his forever family to find him! While he’s been waiting, he’s been busy—he’s had plenty of fun playdates (Aya Papaya and Holly are both smitten with him!) and has been working regularly with a phenomenal dog trainer who absolutely loves helping our rescue pups shine.

We’re told Gus is very smart and truly loves to learn. He already has his basics down—like “sit”—and is now working on more advanced skills. Whoever is lucky enough to adopt this amazing boy will even get the chance to speak directly with his trainer to learn all about the wonderful foundation he’s been given and how to continue helping him be the very bestest dog ever.

Gus is the complete package, and whoever brings him home wins too.
