Description:
Meet Mr. Gus! This dashing black Golden Doodle has energy to spare and a heart as big as his dreams! While many assume doodles are non-shedding, Mr. Gus does shed, so his future family should be prepared for some fur in their life. His journey has been quite the adventure—despite having a microchip, no one came forward to claim him. Lucky for us, that means he’s now ready to find his forever family! When he first arrived, Mr. Gus was down on his luck—just 26 lbs when he should be 40-45, with some rough patches on his belly and legs. But with the right care, love, and plenty of good food, he’s filling out and feeling fabulous! Nicknamed "Mr. Wild Child," this guy is ALL about zoomies, games, and more zoomies! He’s the self-appointed referee of every play session, complete with an imaginary whistle. He needs a family that understands a simple walk won’t cut it—he requires mental stimulation and structured activities to keep his sharp mind engaged. Additional training would benefit him, and to help him succeed, a trainer who has been working with him has generously offered a free training session to his future family. At night, Mr. Gus sleeps soundly in his crate, but during the day, he is not a fan of the kennel and will bark if confined. Because of this, he is not suited for shared-wall living and will do best in a home where he has space to move freely. Mr. Gus recently met a cat at a temp foster home—he did great! While he might test the waters with a playful chase, he takes corrections like a champ, making him a good fit for a cat-savvy feline friend. A fenced-in yard is a must for this energetic boy—he thrives with space to zoom and play safely. If you’re looking for a one-of-a-kind pup to keep you laughing, moving, and feeling the love, Mr. Gus is your guy! Are you ready for all the fun he’s bringing?Interested in adopting this lovable animal? Please go to our website www.wagsmn.org and fill out an Adoption Application.
