• “Gus Gus is a young St. Bernard going through a bit of a fear stage. We're working him through it but have switched from dog parks to private yards while he adjusts. He's a sweet sweet boy who is just a bit overexcited with too many feelings. He loves to run and roll and play.“

  — Hannah L.

• “Sniffing is my true passion — every walk is a thrilling adventure in scent. I believe every patch of grass tells a story, and I intend to read them all. I thrive on personalized attention, especially when it comes with sweet voices, head rubs, or even better — human food. I’m fairly certain I am a human, in fact. I love sitting close, observing everything like a tiny gentleman, and will sometimes just stare at you with soft eyes until you feel like the most loved person on the planet. That’s my job. And I’m very good at it.“

  — Matt B.

• “I love to go on sniffaris. I’m still a puppy and learning my recall. I’m not super reactive but I do get distracted taking in all my new environments.“

  — Nicole H.

• “Gus Gus is what we call a gentle giant. he’s a 5 year old, black, great dane, weighing just shy of 160 lbs. He’s a sweetheart who loves following around both his moms. He’s got basic obedience training and is on his way to learning more tricks. we recently rescued him from the AVHS so we are working on introducing him to other dogs as we are both new to each other still and learning boundaries. so a private rented dog park is best for us for now!“

  — Kynz B.

• “Hi I’m Gus! I am a medical alert service dog. I love meeting new people and dogs, one day I will be a lap dog. Mom says I’m 120 pounds so I can’t do that but if I try hard enough, I can do anything. “

People do to get turned off by his my happy bark is the same as my un bark but as long as his tail is wagging, he is having a great time. It is hard for him to find acompanion to play with, but I can assure you he is the best boy ever and has never bitten nor caused any harm to any dog whatsoever.“
