Gus is thought to be a Yorkie ShihTzu blend. He is 8 years old, 15 pounds, a darling boy, with lots of attitude and very playful.
Gus recently had a dental, is neutered, current on vaccines and preventatives and microchipped. He has a kidney stone and is on a special diet to break up the stone. He has a habit of marking in new territory, Gus loves to play, run, go for walks, and is a great little lap dog. He talks a lot, and tries to rule the roost. He requires an experienced handler to keep keep him in check, and takes correction well. His growling can be confusing; we have found it to just be chatter and being bossy to other dogs and people. If you are interested in Gus, please plan on spending time training him or hiring a trainer to work with you. Gus is 90% house-trained. He has been crated at night. Gus does attempt to run out doors when opened. Once again, training will be required to teach Gus to sit when doors are opened. Please take into consideration before adopting Gus, his training needs and have a plan in place to address meeting those needs.
Gus requires frequent grooming and brushing but does not appear to shed.
He is very attentive, gives kisses, and is looking for the perfect home. We recommend a home without small children because he can be possessive over toys and food if he is allowed to be.
If you want more information on Gus, please submit an adoption application at www.viprescue.org.
