Gus - Standard Schnauzer Dog for Adoption in Scottsdale, Arizona

Hi. I'm Gus. You're Welcome!

Okay so I heard you were looking for a dog, and I just want to say - your search is over. You can close the other tabs.

I'm Gus. I'm three years old, I'm a Giant Schnauzer, and I am, by all accounts, a lot. In the best way. I love everyone I meet - people, dogs, cats, even horses (yes, horses, I don't discriminate). I have a Chuckit ball that I consider my most prized possession, and I also enjoy throwing stuffed animals into the air and catching them, which is both a hobby and a performance art.

I like walks. I like car rides. I like going wherever you're going. I am, fundamentally, a yes-dog.

Now, full transparency: I used to get pretty stressed when my people weren't right next to me. Like, very stressed. But I've worked really hard on that, and these days I can chill in the house or hang in the yard all by myself like a totally normal, very chill dog. Growth is real, people.

Here's what I need from you: no chicken (long story, my stomach has opinions), some ear cleaning a few times a week (I've had some ear drama in the past, we don't need to revisit it), and someone who's cool with big dogs who are enthusiastic about life.

In return, I will be your couch potato, your adventure buddy, your ball-obsessed goofball, and your most loyal companion. Once I pick you - and I will pick you - I'm yours forever.

So. Are you going to adopt me, or what?

3 years old | Neutered | Vaccines current | Dog/cat/horse friendly | Potty trained | Good with grooming | Chicken-free diet | Ear care 3x/week
