Meet Gus

CURRENTLY IN FOSTER IN SAN DIEGO -Crate trained -Potty trained -Walks well on leash and knows all essential commands. -As he is still a puppy, with that he is curious about everything and can have some fear leash reactivity to other dogs, but handles corrections very well and settles quickly. As of now, it is only on occasion, (recent example: nighttime walk with a passing dog with a light up collar). -He has solid recall on leash to redirect or heel and respects boundaries well. -He is learning the size of his big body and is so incredibly gentle, but a goof on occasion, as he should :)! -He lives beautifully with his 13 year old black lab brother. He is gentle, patient and kind towards him. Such a love! His foster mom gave a slow and structured intro over about a week and they became besties! -Gus lives with other neighboring dogs of all sizes and ages and minds his business. He has gone on a couple of out of town vacations with his foster mom and needs structure through his safe space crate but loves the adventure and does well in the car. -His foster mom has prioritized cooperative care and he takes his grooming wonderfully and loves his morning/afternoon and evening snuggles! He doesn’t miss an opportunity to get some love ❤️! -Gus will be the family protector and bestie and would thrive with anyone who understands how intelligent and sensitive Anatolian/Shepards are. There is no fooling them ☺️. -Gus has so much love to give and would do best with anyone with a moderate to active lifestyle. He is also an excellent homebody! His foster family has helped Gus build confidence to settle and entertain himself with enrichment toys while learning self regulation. He is perfectly content with a 30-60 min walk once a day, adequate potty breaks, some lovin’, and a good honey collagen hide. -Great with kids, tested 4 and up. Gus is always curious, but submissive and gentle around all other babies/kids, but only tested with 4 and up. He’s a huge (95 lb) puppy and is still learning his body/size .
