Introducing Gus!

Gus arrived in WA on Sunday and was going to be fostered by another family, however they have another foster keeping them very busy and unexpected family stuff came up so they asked us if we would take Gus on as our foster boy. YES! I was so excited at the chance to foster this boy. 

Gus is always moving so some of the only times I can get a clear picture is when he stops to scratch or pee

This little guy has been down in Fresno with a couple temp foster moms being nursed back to health after a nasty battle with parvovirus followed by a complication that was a result of all the fluids he was receiving. And on top of that he had giardia! Little guy has gone through a lot and everyone is so happy that he made it through after several days where all the vets could really do was wait and see if his little body would be able to fight back.

He's now your typical busy little 15 week old puppy. As a result of being sick for so long he is underweight and his motor skills are a little behind in development due to being so weak and not moving around much. He'll be getting 3 good size meals a day of puppy food mixed with probiotics and a bit of fish oil and we are hoping he'll quickly start to put on the weight and build up the strength that he has lost.

But for now, a big welcome to this happy, friendly little guy!
