My story

　　15yo Gus and his best friend planned to spend forever together. They loved each other dearly and promised to take care of each other in their twilight years. But suddenly, everything changed. One day Gus's best friend didn't come home. And the only familiar faces he knew wanted nothing to do with him. So, Gus's quiet, content world was abruptly disrupted when he was dropped at our door, and into an unfamiliar, strange place with no time to adequately grieve the loss of his soulmate. 

　　Because of the stress of all this sudden change, losing the only home he's ever known, his health is suffering. Gus LIVES for human affection and comfort, and has neither of those things right now. He is the sweetest guy ever, who really doesn't need anything more than a cozy spot to nap and some good scratchin's under his butt roll. He loves walks (waddles) around the block, is housetrained, quiet, and really just wants to make his humans happy. Gussy is a simple guy who asks very little and gives so much love and light in return. He's lived with other dogs in the past, and is fine with them, but doesn't want to share his food (clearly). Gus hasn't lived with kids or cats in the past, but he's so calm and ok with any sort of handling, we think he'll be just fine coexisting with either.
