Description:

This beautiful boy is a Wirehaired Terrier mix. He is listed simply as 205 at a local shelter where he was brought in as a stray. We can't leave him behind and are bringing him to MARS to look for a second chance and a forever home.

Update from his current foster home:

Gus is a wonderful, happy, confident little dog that loves all people. He loves to be near his people, he walks on a leash, he mostly loves sleeping and cuddling. If anyone is sitting, he will get into your lap for a good scratch. He is not yippy, he doesn’t shy away, he is not aggressive. Gus gets along with other dogs - and he obediently leaves his foster family's pet chickens and sheep alone.

Gus jumps into a rowboat without batting an eye. He is also up for any outdoor adventure - camping, kayaking, you name it. Gus recently enjoyed a nice kayaking expedition, where he sat at the bow and looked like a pioneer explorer.

His foster's teen son has Wrestle Tested him, and the results were a wriggly wrestly terrier who wanted to play back but never snapped back. He is a sweet dog, who has just learned Sit and “wait” (don’t run through the door!).

He seems to be housebroken, has not chewed or destroyed anything. He spends his day in a kennel box while his family is at work, for over 7 hours during the day. Gus does not like it, but he stays put. He loves to sleep with his people and stay there for half the day.

Gus is a fun happy, pleasant dog. Terrier or Schnauzer face with a Shi-tzu shaped petite body.

*The pet you are viewing is a rescued pet which is most often from an animal control facility and does not come with a pedigree. The breed(s) listed are our best guess and are in no way guaranteed. Sometimes the pets appear to be a particular breed(s) in the pictures we receive from our rescue partners and when they arrive we are surprised to see an entirely different breed(s) in person! If you choose to DNA test your adopted pet, test results may vary from company to company and our breed guess may not be reflected in those results as it is just that, our best guess. It is with deep longing that we wish there was a breed called "cute" as we believe all of our dogs would fall under this new breed classification!

Completion of an Adoption Application via our website www.midwestanimalrescue.org is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is the first step in our adoption process.

*Animals who are not fully vaccinated and altered are not eligible for long distance adoption.

When you adopt a pet from Midwest Animal Rescue and Services, your adoption fee covers: Microchip and registration, Core Vaccines including Rabies, Distemper and bordetella, age appropriate heartworm testing or FeLV-FIV testing, sterilization, heartworm/flea-tick prevention and deworming while in foster care.

Adoption fees are non-negotiable and can be paid by cashier's check, money order or credit card. We do not accept personal checks.

Any issues that arise after adoption are the full responsibility of the adopter after the finalization of adoption. Adoption fees are only part of the expense of owning a pet, so we ask you to consider the costs for the life of the pet before adoption. We recommend pet insurance.
