Description:
CONGRATULATIONS, GUS , ON YOUR PENDING ADOPTION ! Update from Gus's foster : Gus is such a sweet boy, he has been wonderful with our dogs , the cat and even ignores the bird. Gus has settled in so well with his foster family.....his foster Mom says he is so loving and affectionate, but clearly was not treated well before as he flinches if touched suddenly :-( Gus will be staring his heartworm treatment March 11. We are a little worried about him as his respiration rate his high but his Vets are aware and will monitor him closely. We will post updates once he has started . Sending our sweet boy positive healing thoughts will be greatly appreciated, we love this gentle giant ! Heartworm is such a deadly disease, please give your dogs his monthly heartworm pill. Lil Bit , nicknamed " Gus", and his pal Bicaro ( saved by www.MAGSR.org) nearly lost their lives in a southern shelter, all because they got out and accidentally hurt some chickens and were taken to a shelter. We posted for help on Gus and then found out about Bicaro......and in a joint rescue effort with MAGSR, both were saved ! Gus is a beautiful German Shepherd dog with classic coloring. He is a perfect example of this noble breed. Friendly and social with other dogs as well as people, Gus will make a great companion and walking buddy. Gus will need to be treated for heartworm but ASR will pay for his treatment. During this time, Gus's activity will be restricted, with leash walks replacing running or playing, and 2-3 vet visits over two months will be required. For more information email [email protected] Gus will be traveling to Maryland shortly and we will post updates as he starts his new life ! If you have not yet completed our Application process, please complete our Adoption Application at www.allshepherdrescue.com. Our Adoption Fee is $350.00
