Gussie, STAR #2179

 Meet Gussie – 38 Pounds of Wiggles, Wags, and Pure Love!

If you’re looking for a happy, lovable girl who will steal your heart in seconds, look no further than Gussie! This beautiful 2½-year-old, 38 pound black bi Australian Shepherd is a total wiggle butt! When she’s excited, her whole body gets going, and you might just wonder if she’s going to wiggle herself right out of her fur!

Gussie has never met a stranger! She absolutely adores people and gets along wonderfully with both male and female dogs. She’s happy to share mealtime with her furry friends and loves nothing more than a good round of zoomies, followed by some playtime with her favorite toys. She’s also a loyal little shadow who loves staying close to her people. The one exception? If she spots a cat, her herding instincts might kick in, and off she goes!

This sweet girl has excellent house manners. She’s fully house trained and crate trained, and she actually loves her crate! She happily comes and goes as she pleases and even chooses to curl up inside when it’s time for a good night’s sleep. She is good on a leash, but could definitely benefit from a little more training in that area.

Gussie does have a softer, more sensitive side. Sometimes she can be a little shy or unsure of herself, almost as though she’s worried she might have done something wrong. Soft corrections work great for this girl!

But what makes Gussie truly special is her loving personality. She’s playful, affectionate, a little mischievous, and full of sweetness. She would love a home where she can enjoy playtime, companionship, and plenty of affection.  She could be an only dog or have a few playful friends.  She’s truly up for whatever!

One thing is certain: Gussie won’t need much time to win you over. Between those beautiful blue eyes, her nonstop wiggles, and her heart of gold, you’ll be completely smitten before you know it! 🐾

Gussie is spayed, fully vetted, and on heartworm prevention. Her foster home is in South Houston. To learn more, start by filling out an application.
IMPORTANT: We do not deliver dogs to adopters – you must be able and willing to come meet the dog in their foster home. A home visit by one of our STAR volunteers is a required part of our adoption program and thus, adoptions outside of Texas are rare because of these two requirements. You must have a secure fence in place, and we are not fans of apartments for this breed, nor homes where the dogs will be home alone 8+ hours daily. All STAR dogs are adopted to be inside pets and family members only and all current or past pets in the home must have proof of being kept up to date on vaccinations and Heartworm prevention. The adoption fee is $400 and trust us, we spend that or much more on dogs to get them vetted – all STAR dogs will be neutered/spayed, up to date on vaccinations, microchipped, heartworm negative, and on monthly heartworm prevention. If you already have an application on file with us, you can contact us to let us know you are interested.

 

Augustine (Gussie) is a 2-year-old black bi female and weighs 35 pounds. She has the most beautiful blue eyes. Her owners reached out to STAR when they realized they were working all the time and she was not getting the time and attention that she deserved. Gussie will be vetted and evaluated in Sweeney and should be available mid-November
