All About GUS

  Hello friends! My name is Gus, but my foster mama lovingly calls me GusGus. I’m a happy, playful Frenchie with a big heart and an even bigger love for cuddles.

My dream home is one where I get to sleep in bed with my humans, because snuggling is my absolute favorite. I’m playful when it’s time to have fun, but I’m also a proud couch potato who enjoys relaxing and soaking up all the pets and attention.

I’m 99% house-trained and do well with a consistent routine. Like many dogs, I may have an occasional accident, but regular potty breaks and a little treat when I come back inside really help me succeed. I’m eager to please and get better every day!

I get along well with other dogs and cats—I don’t pay much attention to cats at all. I haven’t spent much time around kids yet, but with slow, proper introductions, my foster thinks I could do just fine.

I’ll go into my kennel, but I’ll be honest—it’s not my favorite place and can make me a little anxious, so I may use my voice to let you know how I’m feeling. I’m still learning about toys, but I do enjoy chewing on my Benebone which helps me relax in my kennel.

Bonus: I love bath time! Suds, splashes, and being pampered? Yes please!

I’m a healthy boy with no known medical issues, and I’m ready to find a forever family who will love me as much as I’ll love them.

If you’re looking for a sweet, snuggly Frenchie with a playful personality (and a surprising love for baths!) and a heart full of love, I might just be your guy.

While in foster care, all our dogs are thoroughly vetted.  Any discovered medical issues will be disclosed above.  Our Lucky Bulldogs (and their smushie-faced buddies) are cleared by their vet for adoption prior to us accepting applications.  All our dogs will be up to date on Rabies & DHPP vaccinations, up to date on Heartworm preventative after a negative Heartworm test, and spayed or neutered prior to being adopted out to their forever homes.  Often times, our dogs are given dentals and sometimes nare-widening surgery if needed while under anesthesia. All surgical and medical history we have will be shared with adopters.  Further details can be discussed with the foster volunteer during the phone interview for the applications that are chosen to proceed to the phone interview part of the adoption process.

All our dogs are crate trained unless otherwise noted on their "All About" pages. 

We typically will accept applications for our available dogs for 1-2 weeks except in cases of overwhelming popularity where we may stop accepting new applicants sooner. Once we have stopped accepting applications, we will review them and proceed with a phone call with our top applications to chat about the dog being applied for, go over the adoption process, and answer any questions the potential adopter has. After phone calls take place, we will decide on our top applicant choice and proceed to contact them to schedule a home visit (in person or via video chat), and check vet and personal references before the adoption is ready to be completed. This process can take up to 6 weeks, but we do notify all applicants of the outcome.
