Hey there, I’m Gus, a little guy with a short, to the point name that means “Exalted” or “Great One”! Though my name seams simple, it’s thought to be a PERFECT name for a “little Royal in your life”. It’s sweet yet the embodiment of power and royalty. Yep, that’s me, a GREAT little boy, short in stature weighing in at only 35# or so just 3 years old.

Taken in by Molly’s Place, my bro Sly and I have been waiting for a chance for our furever home. Mom came in with us. Said to be a sharp looking possibly PURE Basenji she has already gotten a home. Dad, well, mom never said, but he had to have been a hansom dude cause this apple didn’t fall far from the tree. I’m really have a handsome pooch if I do say so myself. Decked out in a Glistening Brindle fur mix of browns, chestnut and black, my coat is short, face ever so sweet, cute tipped ears, set off by my soulful golden eyes.  

Although initially shy, I do warm up and known to be great with adults and other doggies. Fast moving children scare me so best if no children in my home. Once settled in and confident, I’ll bring SUNSHINE into your life with my playful charm and goofy character.

Although I’m NOT a wild child, I do need some exercise and a 4 foot fence would suit my just fine giving me initial boundaries.

If you have it in your heart to reach out to a little boy that only needs a chance to prove what love is, get going, fill out an application and come meet up with me. You will not regret it!  Gus, is waiting for his new life to begin!
