Gus Gus is a 2 month old Mix-Breed in Temecula, CA, who needs $2,000 for Parvo Treatment.

Gus Gus is a 7-week-old Maltipoo puppy who we adopted from a local shelter in Riverside County, California. He was one of two littermates we brought home, with the intention of giving them a safe, loving start and a forever home. When we picked them up, we were given no medical records, no vaccination information, and no guidance on their condition — just two tiny, vulnerable puppies.

Shortly after bringing Gus Gus home from the shelter, we noticed he was lethargic, not eating, and having diarrhea. Within 48 hours, his condition worsened, and we rushed him to Vineyard veterinaryHospital in Temecula, CA. The veterinarians quickly ran tests and diagnosed him with Parvovirus, a highly contagious and often deadly illness in young puppies.

Gus Gus may be small, but his presence fills our home with love. From the moment we brought him home, he formed an instant bond with our family — especially my two young sons. He has a calm, gentle spirit and a way of melting into your arms like he knows he’s safe and finally home.

As a mother of two young boys, one with special needs, I am already stretched thin. We were not expecting this emergency and simply cannot afford the full cost of Gus Gus’s care on our own.
Gus Gus is deeply loved. He’s already brought comfort, joy to us all.
