Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Say hello to Mr. Gus — your future partner in zoomies, laughter, and adventure! This sleek black Golden Doodle is more than just a handsome face—he’s got boundless energy, a goofy spirit, and enough love to fill a stadium. Don’t let the "Doodle" label fool you—Mr. Gus does shed, so his perfect match will embrace a little extra fluff in their life. Mr. Gus has already lived a whole lifetime of stories. Despite being microchipped, no one came looking for him, but their loss is your golden opportunity. When he landed in rescue, he was just 26 lbs—skinny, scrappy, and in rough shape. But with some TLC and plenty of food, he’s well on his way to reaching a healthy 40–45 lbs and living his best life. Nicknamed “Mr. Wild Child,” Gus lives for fun. He’s the self-declared referee of all doggy play sessions, complete with zoomies, imaginary whistle, and dramatic calls. A stroll around the block won’t cut it—he needs structure, enrichment, and someone who can match his zest for life. His trainer even tossed in a free training session for his future family to help him keep leveling up! At night, Gus is a total angel in his crate. During the day? Not so much. He’s not a fan of being kenneled and will bark to make sure you know it. For that reason, he’s not a fit for apartment life or shared walls—this boy needs his space to roam and his voice to be heard. Mr. Gus recently met a cat in a temporary foster home and surprised us all—he did fantastic! While he might give chase for fun, he listens well to corrections and could do well with a confident, cat-savvy feline sibling. A fenced-in yard is a must for this fast-moving, free-spirited guy. If you’ve been dreaming of a dog who’s smart, silly, slightly chaotic (in the best way), and overflowing with love—Mr. Gus is your guy.
