GUS: Sometimes you just
have to wonder why some pets
have not yet been adopted!
Take Gus, for instance. Dogs
like Gus, are full of spirit,
playfulness and just love
humans loving them. He awaits
at his kennel for his next
walking adventure or time in
the play yard for a little one-
on-one tennis-ball chasing! He
is social, intelligent and just
begging to fi nd that doggie-
savvy home; plus a treat or
two will be nice!
