Gus-Gus (bonded to Major)

Gus-Gus and his brother Major were rescued in the winter of 2023 after being dumped in the forest south of Molalla. These survivors are tightly bonded to each other.

From foster mom Lisa:

I would like to introduce you to the "Boyz in the Woodz". These boys were rescued miles out on a logging road in Molalla where they had been dumped. They love the smell of fresh air when we open our basement window. Every night they get treats and when they hear the plastic bag, they come running to the door of the pen pushing each other out of the way to get their treat first. They have been around our four cats and do well with them. They do so well that our cats climb into the pen and hang out in their area as they watch each other. When the pen separates them, the Boyz push their nose through the cracks to get touches from the cats. They go nose to nose with the cats every day and are just fine. We have a big dog that barks and that does not seem to faze them, but they have not met the dog. They do not like the vacuum. The Boyz are smart, and we can see that they are learning stuff all the time. When the Boyz first came to us in January they were held on a regular basis. We had friends coming to hold them when we didn't have time and the Boyz enjoyed the cuddles. Over the past couple of months, they have not been held as much and are a bit more independent. What they do is come check us out when we go hang out daily, push at us, and on occasion nibble at our toes as we sit in the cage with them. These Boyz deserve a loving home where they can play, get daily cuddles, and live their lives to the fullest.

Gus is the big boy of the group and the protector. He is always coming to the door of the pen to see who is there and what we have to offer them. He also is dominant over Major, but not harmful. When he is outside of his pen he likes to binky like a bucking horse, chin things, and run around the room like it is on fire. His favorite chew is the veggie loving kabob from PetSmart. Once you hang that on his pen, he goes to town chewing on it. Let's be real, he likes all the treats!

The "Boyz" are all grown up now, a little less rambunctious and more gentle, but still tightly bonded to each other and looking to roam in their "furever" home.
