Meet Gunner! This 5-year-old, 10-pound Dachshund may be small in stature, but he has a heart full of love waiting to be shared. Gunner's past is a bit of a mystery, but it's clear that life wasn't always easy for him. He's a bit shy around new people and needs time to feel comfortable and build trust. However, once he knows you're his person, he transforms into the sweetest, most devoted companion you could ask for. He absolutely adores his trusted humans, loves to snuggle, enjoys walks, and cherishes playtime with his toys. Gunner also finds great comfort in the company of other dogs and would be thrilled to have a friendly canine sibling in his new home. He bonds deeply with his people and is the perfect little shadow, always ready for some couch cuddles. Gunner is seeking a calm, loving home with someone who is around often and looking for a loyal best friend.
