Gus\u2019 heartbreaking story of physical trauma and \nrecovery has inspired people worldwide. He lived for months with deep \nwounds around his neck, a pumpkin sized,  swollen head, shattered left \nhip, and 26 pellets burned through his right torso.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He survived on the streets of Houston taunted by some but ignored by many. He was a dead dog walking among the living.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gus was  just \none of the thousands of street dogs who suffer in silence. They walk \nwith broken bones, mange, starving for food and attention. These animals\n live in shear agony and loneliness. This shameful epidemic of animal \nhomelessness\n also affects the souls of our communities. To witness the cruelty, \nneglect and abuses that these animals face on a daily bases causes \nemotional distress and hopelessness to our citizens.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every homeless dog is another Gus. Just as important and just as deserving of a safe and loving home.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The streets and\n shelters are filled with dogs who want only to feel safe and loved. Gus\n is a call to everyone to wake up and help a dog in need. You might not \nbe \u201cboots on the ground\u201d but there are always ways  to help.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Foster, Donate, Transport, Volunteer, Educate, Adopt, Spay and Neuter your pets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Gus is the 2019 Hero Dog Award winner in the Shelter Category.\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
