Description:
Meet Gus!! At 22lbs this sweet boy could hardly walk and he was out of time in the shelter. An angel swooped in to free him and he began his journey in rescue. Gus had trouble walking because he was so obese and his nails were wrapped into his paws. After a trip to the vet, some careful clipping, some pokes and prods, a big dental, and a new diet regime he started down his new road to health. Several days after his vet appointment, his skin began peeling and scars and sores began forming down his side. A quick rush to the vet and he was diganosed with being squirted with OTC topical flea prevention which many dogs have terrible reactions to, causing chemical burning of the skin days and weeks later. Sadly many shelters will use these cheaper products to contol the flea problems in their kennels and Gus was one destined to have a reaction. After weeks and weeks of medication, creams and care, his skin has healed and he has also lost many pounds!! 7lbs to be exact!! See his other pics for a before and after!!

Gus is one of the most adorable, cuddly doxies we have ever met. He has a teddybear face and personality to match! He loves to be snuggled and is devoted to his human. Whoever adopts him will know the true meaning of love at first sight.
