Gus is a 6-year-old French Bulldog in Long Beach, CA, who needs $1,500 for Intervertebral Disc Herniation - ICDD.

Gus came into my life when I was a senior in College. I was in upstate NY at the time and drove all the way to Southwest of Ohio where I met little Gus. Gus has been working as an emotional support animal at first for myself but then to others in need. He's been to Seattle Children's Hosp., Strong Memorial Hospital, James Center - Ohio State, USLC-RR, Childrens Hospital of Los Angeles, USC, & more

Gus is an super sweet loving and snuggles with everyone he comes in contact with. Currently Gus has been working with a 12 yr child who has suffered from trauma (mental and physical abuse). Gus goes where ever you go in the home. The best companion dog you could ask for. During the day he enjoys soaking up the sun. He never leaves your side at night and waits for you to awake in the morning.

Gus is very entertaining. He snorts like a little piggy all the time. When you give him anything he gets super excited and then begins to snort even louder! We have little nicknames like Gus Gus, Mr. Piggy, Little Guy, Bunny, Diesel Engine and more. He also is known for his farts, funny enough, he is like a gas chamber sometimes, so pay attention if you're in the line of fire.

Gus unfortunately has a slipped disc in his back, also known as a herniated disc. A slipped disc in dogs is a veterinary neurology issue that can happen by a rupture of a healthy disc can be caused by trauma playing, fall from height (couch, steps) with tearing of the annulus fibrosus. For Gus he was at home in a blocked off area where he must have hurt himself playing with toys.

Currently I am in financial assistance from the effects of Covid-19. Gus is mine and other support animal both in home and in a clinical/hospital setting. Gus is very important to several people, I'm afraid his death could be detrimental to those around him.
