Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Do you need a sensitive man in your life? Gunner is your guy!
Gunner came to Indy from a Michigan shelter. He was pretty emaciated at 60 pounds (he’s a tall fella!), very sad, and very scared. He’s relaxed so much since he’s been with his foster family! He’s now a happy 70 lbs. His foster mom thinks his environment was very taxing on this sweet guy. He’s a reactive barker, but very easy to stop with distraction and gentle correction. It’s a work in progress.
He’s an older gentleman (8-10). He’s fixed, up to date on vaccines, and up to date on preventatives. Gunner can sit, stay, shake, come and lay down! His fosters don’t know if he’s crate trained, but does just fine when left home with his foster siblings.
Gunner’s favorite things are eating, car rides, treats, snacks, sticking his head out of the car window, breakfast, his ears flapping in the car window, dinner, napping, and bedtime. Needless to say, he’s a food motivated guy. One quirk is that he doesn’t like peanut butter. What dog doesn’t like peanut butter?
Gunner also likes to cuddle with this foster mom on the couch and loves to sleep right in the middle of the bed. He really likes his human brothers. They’re older teens, but he’s so gentle that his fosters think he’d do well with smaller children. Gunner prefers small dogs to big dogs. Bigger dogs are much more scary and they take up a lot of his space. He and his foster mom are working for him to be more calm around his big foster siblings. He’s very respectful of his two small dog siblings.
Need a car companion? Gunner absolutely loves to go in the car and wants to go everywhere his fosters go. He doesn’t share with toys too much yet, and that’s mostly because his foster brother doesn’t like to share toys. There have been occasions where he’ll chase a ball (sort of? But it’s not really chasing it, but he loves it?), likes to tug with a big rope, and is very content chewing a nice bone.
Gunner doesn’t know a human stranger. He’s full of kisses for everyone!
