Susan J. Eischeid | Submitted PhotoFRED: Gus and Fred are a wonderful pair of brothers, both hound mix puppies about 6 months old. Gus has a shiny black and white coat and is super smart –he already knows how to sit and calms down easily for some loving. Gus also enjoys tug-of-war and bacon treats. Fred has a pretty dark brown seal-colored coat with white highlights and an exuberant nature. Both are all puppy – playful, fun, wide-open, affectionate. Gus and Fred are both neutered so can go home today, and can be adopted together or separately.
