Hi everybody! My name is Gunner! I am a young pup who is full of life! I am just under 1 year old and I weigh 48 lbs. I love to play! I love squeaky toys, balls, tough toys - you name it. I am also a happy boy. I have an outgoing, friendly, upbeat personality. I love other dogs - boys and girls - and I enjoy playing with them. I love people, too. I think they're great. They give me treats and belly rubs. They teach me all the great things that every dog should know. They play with me and take me for walks. And, best of all, they show me love, attention and affection. What more could a good dog ask for? Now I just need to find a permanent home with someone to love for life. I promise to make you smile every day. I will be your best friend and never let you down. Just give me a chance! Adoption fee: $75. Adopt a pair: $115. Fee includes testing, deworming, vaccinations, spay/neuter, 60 days of free pet insurance and microchip.

NOTE ABOUT BREED LABELING: Visual breed identification of dogs is unreliable and usually inaccurate. So, for most of our adoptable dogs, we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each dog
as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not by breed label.
Why is labeling a dog such a big deal? A label will stick with a dog for the rest of its life. A label can mean discrimination, losing its home or even death. Labels are a problem for the dogs when we, as the local experts on animals, allow adopters, politicians and community members to think that the label we assign can predict who that dog is or will be.

Adoption Process: Complete the application at
www.pawsforliferescue.org. We then arrange a location, date and time for you to meet some pets. If the meeting goes well and everyone is happy, you begin the mandatory, minimum two-week adjustment period with the pet as part of your family. You will pay the non-refundable adoption fee at the start of the two-week adjustment period. This pending period allows your new dog or cat time to adjust to their new home, new people, new routine, etc., and for you to decide if it's a match and the right pet for you. At the end of two weeks (some people extend the adjustment time as needed and that's fine too), if everyone is happy, then we finalize the adoption. Feel free to email if you have any questions.
