Cassius "Gus" Shepherd

Hello - my name is Cassius and I'm a shepherd mix. I love to run and play and my foster mom tells me I float like a butterfly, especially when I run because I'm so elegant because of my long legs! I have a lot energy, and sometimes I try to sneak out of the yard to find something exciting, or I might pace when I'm bored. I would love to be taken on walks at least once a day, and I love going to a dog park. After an introduction, I play very well with other dogs - did I mention that I love to wrestle? I'm great with kids! 've played with older kids, and I would probably do best with them because I'm a bit unaware of how big and strong I am. I like to get on laps when I'm invited, and I absolutely love getting my chin scratched! That's a good way to get a peak into my beautiful eyes! I promise, I'm gentle and won't hurt you! My foster parents say I'm very intelligent and will learn whatever I'm taught quickly, including good leash manners. I currently know "shake" and "sit." I also sleep in my crate overnight like a good boy and am doing well going potty outside in my yard. I'm not sure how I feel about cats or small animals like rabbits - I'm very curious, but I haven't had a chance to get very close to any. I would love to find my forever family to love and go on adventures with! If that could be you, visit istodaymydayrescue.org to fill out an application! My adoption fee is $295.
