My story

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

🐾 HI, I’M TUNNEL! 🐾
Your handsome spotted boy with the nose of a detective and the heart of a marshmallow… once I trust you. 🤎

I’m a 2.5-year-old, 55-lb Retriever/Border Collie/Lab mix with the world’s cutest pink snoot and a patch over one eye that makes me look like a pirate… a very sensitive, easily-startled pirate. 🏴‍☠️💗

I’m a cautious guy who needs patience, consistency, and a calm home to feel safe. Once I decide you’re my person? I melt into your side like warm butter on toast. I’ll follow you, protect you, and be your loyal ride-or-die forever.

✨ My Stats (aka why I’m worth it):
• 😳 Shy at first
• 🐕‍🦺 Protective/territorial — I take my job seriously!
• 🏡 Yard required for zoomies + security patrols
• 💛 Moderate energy
• 🚫 No cats, please (I think they’re tiny suspicious ninjas)
• 🐢 A little cautious, but I try really hard

Once I warm up, I adore other dogs, love being outside, and I’ll happily snooze near you like the big, spotted weighted blanket you never knew you needed.

I promise: give me time, give me kindness, and I’ll give you my whole goofy heart.
