Gunner is a playful, affectionate, and energetic dog who loves people and thrives on attention. He is highly food-motivated, alert, and will let you know when he needs to go outside. Despite a rough start in life, he has blossomed into a loving companion.

Personality:

• Affectionate and playful
• Loves to eat
• Energetic, enjoys outdoor activity
• Smart and alert – responds to e-collar training
• Can be a digger and jumper when unsupervised

Living Situation:

• Currently kenneled at night
• Has access to the yard during the day
• Previously lived chained up, now fully enjoys freedom

Compatibility:

• Dogs: Gets along well with other dogs, very friendly
• Cats: Tolerates and sometimes wants to play
• Children: Excellent with kids, no issues reported

Special Considerations:

• Gunner was underweight and treated for Lyme disease in 2023; healthy since
• He was initially gun-shy but has adapted to hunting and can track birds well, but he may choose whether or not to hunt on any given day
• Fence jumper – needs supervision when outside; has jumped a 5 ft chain link fence for fun
• No separation anxiety or bite history

Ideal Foster Home:
Gunner needs a home where he will be supervised outdoors and given plenty of attention and exercise. A family or individual who enjoys active outdoor time and understands his occasional independent streak would be a great fit.
