My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

**Located in Kempner TX** Gunner came all the way from Iraq to the U.S.! Gunner and his brother Chief were dropped off at the gates of the U.S. Military Basra base just a few weeks before it was set to close for good. The dogs were just pups, only a couple of months old, if that. They quickly became the base mascots and a few of the pilots took on the mission of getting Chief and Gunner safely out of Iraq. This was a difficult mission but fortunately, many people gladly volunteered to help. The dogs were transported off of the base on a private company plane owned by one of the contractors. A volunteer for Treasured k9s was formerly stationed at the base and she agreed to foster the pups once they arrived in the U.S. One of the pilots from the base planned to adopt Chief and Gunner once her contract was up, but unfortunately, a family emergency derailed her plans and now Chief and Gunner are stuck without a home. They are still pups but growing quickly. We estimate they are approximately 7 months old as of April 2014. Chief and Gunner are located outside of Austin, TX. They would do best in separate homes because as they mature, it appears as if they are challenging each other. If you are interested in adopting Gunner, please visit www.treasuredk9s.org to submit an adoption application.
