Leo (now Gus)

Gus (aka Leo) came to us at the time when we needed him most. We had just lost our first dog together - Jazzy (who we had also adopted from Homeward Pet as well) due kidney failure, she never gave any signs of being sick until the very end. It hit us harder than I expected it to, and while dealing with our grief I checked on Homeward Pet website and found a picture of Gus. 
 
My husband has always wanted a blue pitbull, so we decided to go and check out Gus the next day. He was perfect, and put the largest smile on our faces and made the sorrow of loosing Jazzy just a little more bearable. Since then we have gone on 3 hikes which he seems to enjoy, met all the neighbor children who he just wants to be loved by, and snuggled up on the couch to sit and relax. Gus has brought a lot of joy to our life when there could have been so much pain.
 
Thank you Homeward Pet for letting us be parents to such an amazing dog twice!
