More about Gus Walters

3/14/2026Gus Walters is an owner surrender looking for a new home.Hi! My name is Gus Walters! I am a handsome 7.5 year old fawn boy that is an owner surrender due to changes in my family dynamics. I am described as smart, protective, and playful! I am dog selective and because of it I need to be the only dog in the home. I can be reactive to other dogs when passing during walks but settle after they pass. I am not a fan of small cats or animals so I need to be the only boy getting the love! There are five kids in my home (ages 10-16 years) and I have had exposure to kids as young as 5 years. After a proper introduction, I am good and gentle with them, even enjoying playing with my squeaky toys around them or laying near them on the floor or bed. When someone knocks on the door, I am a built in security system and will alert the humans. Once the people are inside, I am quiet and want to play. I am house trained, crate trained, know basic commands, and at night I sleep on the floor on the dog bed or in the kennel. If the humans must be away, I will cry when I see the humans leaving but will quiet down once they leave and go to sleep and am not destructive! When outside I have good behavior and do not dig or attempt to jump fences/gates. I do not like the sound of lawn mowers or tasers and will run to my kennel if I hear one on tv. I also do not like when my favorite ball rolls under the couch. Some of my favorite things are riding in the car, squeaky toys, howling in joy when I squeak my squeaky toys, balls, pup cups, playing tug of war, and going on walks! If you are looking for a loving boy that will gladly give hugs and kisses to you, contact the rescue today and give them my name because I am your guy and waiting to meet you!
