FOUR year old English Mastiff Gus is still looking to find a new home after spending months with a new animal charity.

Ruskington-based charity Hollies Animal Re-homing Trust (HART), run by Rob Louth, Tracy Healy and Alistair Ede, is trying to find a permanent home for Gus, their longest serving resident.

He came into the care of the charity in September last year after his previous owner realised he could no longer look after him and a prospective new owner disappeared without trace.

Although Gus has a friendly nature, he is very strong and weighs in at 65kg.

So far HART’s efforts to find him a loving new ‘forever home’ have failed. The team are now appealing to responsible readers who think they could take good care of their gentle giant to come forward.

Rob said: “Things that need to be considered when taking on a dog like Gus is primarily his size. Although he is well behaved, he is very strong, and a new owner must be able to provide enough space and correct nutrition.

“Gus costs the trust hundreds of pounds but, with our ‘no put to sleep’ policy, he will remain with us for as long as it takes to find the right home.”

Gus has been neutered and is up-to-date with all his vaccinations.

Prospective owners must be willing to submit to a home check before adopting him, as the charity is keen to ensure he goes to a home that is suitable for his needs.

Anyone who feels they could offer Gus a loving new home can contact the HART team on 01526 890098.
