Gus

Born March 2025, Male, Great Pyrenees

Gus’s Journey
Gus and his littermates were surrendered to a rescue (not us) when they were just puppies. Some dogs tell you exactly where they belong—and this handsome boy made it clear: rural living is his element. He struggled in a residential neighborhood, not because he was “bad,” but because he was born to work, watch, and lead. Once he arrived here, everything about him changed for the better.

He carries all the hallmarks of a true livestock guardian in the making: confidence, awareness, and a natural instinct to manage his surroundings. He likes to be the ruler of his roost, but in a balanced, respectful way. And with animals? He’s been a star. Sheep, goats, poultry—he’s doing wonderfully with all of them.

He’s well-behaved, intelligent, and takes his environment seriously. All he needs now is the right home to help him reach his full potential.
