GUS

Gus is being fostered in southeast Georgia. Look at his sweet face! He's a very special old guy with a story. Early one morning the president of SLR received a call from a Vet's office in Birmingham. They had arrived at work to find a schnauzer tied to their door along with his toys, a bowl and some food. He also had a large growth on his back. The story just broke Marty's heart and she agreed to rescue him and find a good home for Gus. She arranged for surgery to remove the growth. Fortunately he tested heartworm negative, now on preventative and given yearly vaccines.

 Gus is silver and weighs 27lbs. Gus is an easy low maintenance older man who enjoys the occasional walk and pat on the head. He is housebroken, crate trained and leash trained. Like many retired old men, his day consists of eating, sleeping and watching TV. He has a bit of arthritis in the hind end and is taking meds to relieve this discomfort. Gus is also a little hard of hearing. For these reasons, Gus needs a quiet home with carpet and no children or pets. Perhaps another older dog would be  ok. He is very worried about being bumped in to by the active younger dogs in his current foster home.

As you can see, it is going to take a very special home with very special people to adopt Gus. Are you that special person? Are you willing to open your heart and your home to this great old guy so that he can comfortably live out his remaining years? For all he's been through, Gus deserves this!
