Meet gus
Meet Gus, an XL, handsome Anatolian Shepherd estimated to be around 5 years old. Gus came to us from local animal control and has proven himself to be an absolute gem. He’s tall, about 85 lbs, and arrived underweight, so he’ll need a home committed to helping him continue to fill out and thrive.
Gus is the definition of a gentle giant. He is wonderful with other dogs and truly exceptional with cats. He reads their cues perfectly—if they want space, he gives it; if they want to cuddle or play, he is gentle and patient. He has not been around children while in our care, but due to his size and strength, he would do best with older, sturdier kids who won’t be easily knocked over by an enthusiastic greeting or a happy tail swipe.
This big guy has so many wonderful qualities. He’s great in the car and simply lays down in the backseat. He’s crate comfortable, fully potty trained, knows sit and shake, and is incredibly smart. He recently had his enormous dew claws removed and handled it all like a champ. Gus also loves to play fetch and absolutely enjoys cuddle time. His foster says he is “literally the perfect dog” with zero complaints.
As an Anatolian Shepherd, Gus is very true to his breed. It’s important for adopters to research the breed and be prepared for the commitment, lifestyle, and responsibility that comes with owning a livestock guardian–type dog. Gus is amazing, but like all dogs of his breed, he needs the right home that understands and appreciates who he is.
If you’re looking for a loyal, loving, steady-hearted companion, Gus is ready to be that dog.
