My story

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

Howdy Do.
My name is Gunnar. I just have to be the softest sweetest lovingest boy you have ever met. I am a Black Mouth Cur. I just love being around you, riding in the car, hanging out in the yard watching the cars go by or snuggled next to you while we watch a movie. If given the opportunity, I would love to snuggle in bed with you. My foster parents keep saying they just do not understand why I was dumped.
I was found wandering out in the country up a nice lady's driveway. Immediately I could tell how kind she was. We hit it off immediately. But, I am still a puppy with tons of energy and not overly familiar with etiquette. So, the lady's daughter called the rescue I am with. The daughter knows the rescue will spoil me rotten while I wait to get adopted.
My ideal family is one who likes the outdoors (running, hiking, camping, ball games, yard work), and loves to spend the day watching movies if the weather isn't cooperating.
Please fill out an application and deposit to begin my journey to you furever.

More about this rescue

My name is Carla Carlton. We (my husband and I) are retired militay. He served in the Air Force for 25 years. We have always done some sort of servicing the community. So, when we got ready to retire, we found a place we wanted to live and bought a home. Well, the town we lived in has/had a high kill shelter. This broke our hearts.
Around this same time, I met a lady who fostered for Friends of Homeless Animals, RI. One day I got a call from FOHA there was a poodle in our shelter and he was on the short list. I went and pulled him. Roie (FOHA), helped set me up to foster and list our orphans from here as a courtesy post. I am not sure how long ago it was, 16-18 years, I think. The rest is history. Through them and Mountain Pet Rescue, CO (and a few others in CO, UT, IA, IL, OR, CA, MS...), we have placed over 2400 dogs/ puppies and cats.
