Gus IS AVAILALBE (updated 08-01-2025).To meet any of our dogs you must first complete our online adoption application on our website. For more information and the adoption application for Gus, please visit our website belowhttp://www.coastalgsr.org/dog_profile.php?ID=22836&name=GusMeet Gus! Gus came to us after he was dumped on Christmas Eve behind a Walmart. He was picked up by Animal Control and we happened to be at the shelter when he came in with the officers. He was about 40 lbs overweight and had clearly been left to survive on his own. Thankfully, we had a foster home who took him in and started to work on his weight and his coat. About a week into his foster care, big boy Gus had a seizure. He was treated by the wonderful neuro team at VCA West Coast and hasn't had a seizures since! He is on a low dose of anti-seizure meds that he will stay on. Gus is a wonderful dog- sweet and stunningly handsome! He adores kids and loves his walks and any field trips! We believe Gus is about 4-5 years old. As he has been on his fitness journey, he is looking younger and younger!The minimum adoption donation for adults is $375 and the adoption donation for puppies is $500. This amount only partially covers the cost of veterinary care, boarding fees, and other miscellaneous expenses involved in the temporary care and adoption of our dogs and is tax deductible. The adoption donation provides that all dogs will be spayed or neutered, receive current vaccinations, and are microchipped. If not, arrangements will be made on an individual basis ( i.e., puppies who will need to be altered by 6 mos old). Special consideration may be given to those willing to adopt older dogs or dogs with physical problems.August 7, 2025, 12:36 pm
