Meet Gunner!
Gunner is a happy-go-lucky puppy with a larger-than-life personality. He's affectionate, goofy, outgoing, and absolutely convinced that every person and every dog he meets is a potential new best friend. His enthusiasm for life is contagious, and wherever he goes, fun is sure to follow. Gunner's journey began in Oklahoma, where he and his littermates were surrendered to a rescue before making their way to Wisconsin in search of loving homes. While we don't know much about his life before rescue, one thing is certain: Gunner is making up for lost time by living every day to the fullest. He approaches the world with confidence, curiosity, and a heart full of love.
Ideal Home
Gunner would thrive in an active family, a home that enjoys outdoor adventures, a family committed to ongoing training, a home with another playful dog, and a family that can provide plenty of exercise and enrichment. He loves children but can get excited during play and may accidentally knock over smaller kids. Families with young children should be prepared for normal puppy exuberance. Gunner currently plays a little too rough with cats and would likely do best in a home with dog-savvy cats or no cats at all.
Ongoing Health
Gunner is altered.
Training & Support
Like any growing puppy, Gunner is still learning the rules of being a well-mannered family member. He is currently working on leash manners, keeping all four paws on the floor when excited, greeting people politely, crate training, building confidence when alone, avoiding counter surfing, and learning that not every person or dog needs to be greeted. Gunner can be a little stubborn at times, but he is also smart, food motivated, and eager to learn. Consistent training and structure will help him continue to grow into an amazing adult dog. Because he is still a puppy, he occasionally shows some crate anxiety and separation anxiety tendencies.
