My story

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

Meet Gunner, a Holiday Gift Wrapped in Fur. Gunner may not fit in a stocking, but this 89-lb bundle of love is the kind of gift that fills your whole home with warmth. At 7 years old, Gunner is a gentle senior with the most soulful puppy-dog eyes and a heart that’s ready to love deeply.

Saved from the deep south of Georgia, where life hadn’t always been kind, Gunner is now safe and absolutely thriving in a foster home. In just days, his foster family has watched the sparkle return to his eyes, the pep come back to his step, and his tail wag with growing joy.  Gunner is the definition of a good, easy companion. He’s friendly with everyone he meets, gets along well with other dogs, is good with kids, and has that calm, steady presence that makes senior dogs so special. He’s leash trained, crate trained, and house trained — an all-around dream dog.  Around the house, Gunner is the ultimate quiet helper: taking out the trash? He’ll supervise politely.  Cooking dinner? This sous chef offers moral support only — no counter surfing here.  Relaxing at home? He’ll settle nearby, perfectly content just being close. He enjoys a good walk and strolls beautifully on leash, then happily curls up to rest near his people. No mischief, no chaos — just companionship, loyalty, and love.

Gunner is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines, and he’s officially earned a top spot on Santa’s Nice List.  His adoption fee is $415. If you’re looking for a kind-hearted soul to share your holidays (and every day after), Gunner is waiting patiently to become part of your family.  Apply to adopt GUNNER DIXON at ehrdogs.org because sometimes the greatest gifts come with four paws and the softest eyes.
