Gunner's Run Rescue's adoption process

Additional adoption info

Adoption contract is required and can be obtained by email or by phone request. Home visits are required. Adoption fees vary per dog. Please note these fees are inclusive of spay/neuter and vaccinations. All dogs are spayed or neutered prior to adoption, fully vetted and are kept on heartworm/flea and tick preventative. Adoption fees help to cover vet expenses and to benefit and help current and future dogs. 100% of all donations, adoption fees, and proceeds from any fundraising event go back directly to help the dogs. We are (501c3) nonprofit, and State Licensed.

About Gunner's Run Rescue

Gunner's Run Rescue was established in honor of a very special dog that passed away. All dogs rescued and helped are done for you, Gunner. You will never be forgotten. I love you Lu (Gram), you have inspired me to try to make a difference in this world- even if it is a small one.
We are a small group of individuals dedicated to providing a safe, nurturing environment for dogs, giving them love, one-on-one attention, and basic obedience training, full veterinary care , with the ultimate goal of adoption to their forever family.
We do not have a shelter all of our dogs are kept in our home and given the one on one attention that they need. We are an all-breed rescue- focusing our attention on dogs that are in immediate need of placement from animal control or shelters that have to euthanize due to lack of space.
"We must be the change we want to see in the world" Mahatma Gandhi

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?

Why should you adopt?

Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life.

What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?

When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.

So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
