Gus was born on the streets, he and his mom just trying to survive. A couple began feeding Gus and eventually gained their trust. They all have lived happily ever since.

Gus knows what it’s like to not know where your next meal is coming from. He also knows and appreciates the benefits of having access to healthcare: his mom is living with FIV but thanks to good nutrition and medical supervision, she remains disease free.

Franklin, a Berniedoodle, was born in Denton, Texas, one of 12 in his litter. He joined his family during the COVID 19 pandemic. He lives in his condo in downtown Austin during the week and at his Hill Country ranch on the weekend. He loves to play tug-­ of-­ war, chase a ball, and beg for food.
