This beautiful boy is a Wirehaired Terrier mix. He is listed simply as 205 at a local shelter where he was brought in as a stray. We can't leave him behind and are bringing him to MARS to look for a second chance and a forever home.

Update from his current foster home:

Gus is a wonderful, happy, confident little dog that loves all people. He loves to be near his people, he walks on a leash, he mostly loves sleeping and cuddling. If anyone is sitting, he will get into your lap for a good scratch. He is not yippy, he doesn’t shy away, he is not aggressive. Gus gets along with other dogs - and he obediently leaves his foster family's pet chickens and sheep alone.

Gus jumps into a rowboat without batting an eye.  He is also up for any outdoor adventure - camping, kayaking, you name it.  Gus recently enjoyed a nice kayaking expedition, where he sat at the bow and looked like a pioneer explorer.

His foster's teen son has Wrestle Tested him, and the results were a wriggly wrestly terrier who wanted to play back but never snapped back. He is a sweet dog, who has just learned Sit and “wait” (don’t run through the door!).

He seems to be housebroken, has not chewed or destroyed anything. He spends his day in a kennel box while his family is at work, for over 7 hours during the day. Gus does not like it, but he stays put. He loves to sleep with his people and stay there for half the day.

Gus is a fun happy, pleasant dog. Terrier or Schnauzer face with a Shi-tzu shaped petite body.
