Hound and Mountain Cur Dogs Available for Adoption in Alexandria, Louisiana

The Lowdown on Gus

If you’re looking for a medium-energy companion who balances outdoor adventures with professional-level napping, Gus is your guy. At 2 years old, this handsome 62lb mix is the perfect blend of athletic and affectionate.

A True People-Person

Gus is a certified "cuddle bug." He absolutely adores people and is known for taking to women almost instantly. While he might be a little more selective with the guys at first, don't let that fool you—it usually only takes one visit for him to realize a new male friend is just another source of belly rubs and head scratches!

Playtime & Personality

• The Snow King: If there is a snowflake on the ground, Gus is in heaven. He loves nothing more than bounding through the snow like a giant puppy.
• Toy Enthusiast: Whether it’s a spirited game of fetch or a dedicated chewing session, Gus loves his toys.
• The "Lazy" Tugger: Gus is a fan of tug-of-war, but he has a hilarious signature move: mid-tug, he often decides it's too much work and will simply flop over on his side while still holding the rope.
• Activity Level: He’s the definition of "mid-level energy." He is a fantastic hiking partner and has great bursts of playfulness, but he is equally content to snooze at your feet while you work from home.

Home Life & Training

Gus is house trained and ready to settle into his forever home. When it comes to other four-legged friends, Gus prefers the slow and steady approach. He would be happiest as an only dog where he can soak up all the attention, or he could potentially live with a submissive canine sibling after a proper introduction.

Ready to Meet Gus?

Gus is fully vetted and currently residing in Massachusetts, where he is waiting for a family to call his own. If you have a soft spot for hounds and a couch big enough for a 62lb lap dog, Gus might just be your perfect match.
