My story

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

*Courtesy Posting**

What is your name?
Gunner
How old are you?
10 years young
How much do you weigh?
About 80lbs
What do you look like?
I'm a black and tan German Shepherd with a short coat
What do you like to eat?
I'm not too picky, but I get grain free food and treats.
What kind of personality do you have?
I’m a pretty easy going guy in the house. I like to be around people and get attention. I even like being brushed!
Describe your perfect day:
Either going on a walk in the woods or just getting doted on by my foster parents.
What is your favorite toy?
Balls!
Do you know any tricks?
I know sit.
What scares you?
Not much!
Have you been around children? Do you like them?
I haven't been around kids but I would almost certainly be OK with older kids (12+) and possibly young ones too.
Do you like cats?
No.
How do you feel about other dogs?
I bark at most of them because I wasn’t socialized all my life. I don’t want to hurt them but I don’t know how I’m supposed to act yet. I’m trying to learn slowly.
If you could be anywhere in the world, where would it be?
With my forever family!
How is your health?
It is good now. When I came to my foster home, I was in poor shape and had heart worms. After lots of vet visits and medication, I got healthy and I feel 5 years younger now! My final "all clear" heart worm test is in August (that’s when I will be adoptable)
Who do you live with in your foster home and who is your closest companion?
I live with foster "mom" and "dad", other dogs and chickens. I love both my foster parents but don’t interact with the other dogs yet.
Where do you hang out when you are home alone?
In my crate
Where do you sleep?
In my crate.
Do you like walking on a leash?
Yes, I love to go on walks! I’m a pretty big, strong boy and my foster mom says I walk better when I’m wearing my harness.
Do you have any "not-so-great" habits that we should know about? For instance, do you bark or dig in the yard?
I bark at stuff that I think is exciting and pull on the leash.
Are you house trained? (Meaning do you go potty outside)
Yes
Do you like playing in water?
I'm not sure yet!
What do you love about your foster family?
They gave me a second chance at life and helped me recover from heart worms
Are you being fostered privately or through another rescue?
Privately
How do people get in touch with your foster family?
They can email my foster dad Robin at Robinwenham@gmail.com or foster mom Gabrielle at GRWaer@gmail.com
