Gus - Miniature Poodle Dog for Adoption in Lisbon, Iowa

Meet Gus, our resident Chewbacca impersonator!

This adorable 4-year-old, 14 pound Poodle or Lhasa Apso mix has a heart of gold and a voice that could earn him a starring role in Star Wars. Found as a stray in Iowa City, Gus came to us from our friends at the Iowa City Animal Care and Adoption Center. Gus hasn't let his past dim his bright, happy spirit. He's ready to leave his wandering days behind and find a family to call his own.

Gus is house trained, crate trained, and always excited to head out for a walk. He gets along well with other dogs, but if he had his choice, he'd happily be the center of your universe, soaking up every bit of love and attention.

His favorite pastime? Belly rubs. When he wants one, he'll let out the funniest little grumbles and groans that sound just like Chewbacca carrying on a conversation. It may sound dramatic, but it's all part of his charm. We don't know his exact breed mix, but we're pretty sure there's a little Wookiee in there somewhere.

He's also a toy enthusiast. Toss Gus a squeaky toy and you'll have a friend for life. Just don't expect him to give it up in the middle of playtime without offering his opinion. His signature Wookiee commentary is guaranteed to make you laugh.

A couple of things to know before you apply: Gus would do best in a home without cats, and he'll thrive with someone who appreciates a dog with a big personality, a goofy sense of humor, and an endless supply of affection to give.
If you're looking for a loyal sidekick who will keep you smiling every day, Gus is ready to join your crew.

Gus is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, heartworm tested, and microchipped.
