Gustavo the dog needs a new home in the Calgary area

Meet Gustavo, a big, beautiful boy with an even bigger heart! Found as a stray, his past is a mystery, and he’s still adjusting to the shelter, which can feel a bit overwhelming. As a large breed dog who’s currently overweight, Gustavo will need a gradual weight loss plan, guided by a vet, to help him feel his best. His extra weight may be contributing to some intermittent lameness in his back legs, so a healthy lifestyle will be key. One thing we do know? Gustavo loves belly rubs! With his stunning thick coat, regular grooming will keep him looking as fabulous as he feels. If you have a soft spot for gentle giants and a hand ready for belly rubs, Gustavo would love to meet you!
