Shota Gussy | Male | Mixed Breed |
Rescue Story:
My mama was a stray who had 10 (yes 10!!) puppies in a rural community. Zoe's rescued all of us and brought us into care to grow big and strong. We've done just that and are now ready to be adopted.
Date of Birth: April 24, 2026 (est)
Energy Level: High- I'm a puppy after all!
Size (adult): Medium-Large
Adoption Fee: $450 but can you really put a price on this cuteness?
Good with Dogs? Yes
With proper introductions I would do just fine.
Good with Cats? Yes
I was previously fostered with cats and was curious and wanted them to play but would be fine with dog savvy cats and continued training.
Good with Kids? Yes
I'm still a mouthy puppy, but with proper supervision I will be ok.
Critter Twitter:
Hello, I'm Shota, and I'm a sweet, gentle little guy with a heart as soft as my puppy ears. I love meeting new people, and my soulful eyes have a pretty good track record of earning belly rubs, which happen to be one of my favorite things. Even though I have plenty of puppy energy, I also have a calm side and enjoy relaxing with my favorite humans after playtime. I usually remember to sit when I know there's a tasty treat waiting for me, and I'm excited to keep learning even more. I'm very gentle with my foster family's younger cat and always try to be respectful when we spend time together. I have so much love to give and am happiest when I'm close to my people. If you're looking for a kind, affectionate puppy with a gentle spirit and a playful heart, I'd love to be your new best friend.
About my Behaviour:
I am working hard on all those puppy things like learning to go to the bathroom outside, being calm in my crate, as well as things like sitting for treats, not jumping up, and how to walk on a leash. As a condition of adoption, we must register for a force free, in-person, group training class for puppies. We'll learn so much and bond and I can have some socializing time with other dogs in a safe environment, which is really critical for young pups!

How’s my Health?
I will be neutered, up to date on my vaccinations, dewormed and microchipped. Zoe's cannot guarantee what breeds are in me or my size as an adult.
