GUNNAR

Introducing Gunnar, the people-loving pup with an infectious happy wiggle-bum! Gunnar is a bundle of energy and adores playtime, especially with his treasured stuffed toys. He might have missed out on toys in his past, which is why he occasionally likes to hang on to them. Gunnar enjoys socializing with other dogs in playgroups, although he can get a bit too excited during walks when he spots a canine friend. Gunnar has a strong sit and a motivation for treats which will help make training fun! Gunnar would love an active home with ample physical and mental stimulation and without young children. 10/30/23 17:47 Reason animal needs rescue: Behavior, extended length of stay Type: Behavior Date animal needs rescue by: ASAP Additional notes: Gunnar has been in the shelter since 11/2022.
