Story
Meet Gunner! Gunner is a handsome two-year-old boy with striking amber eyes and a fun, goofy personality! He came to us as an owner surrender after his previous adopters, an elderly couple in their 80s, found his energy level more than they could manage. We think Gunner may be a Beagle/German Shorthaired Pointer mix, and he’s just a great all-around dog. He is currently being fostered by Johanna and living with her four dogs and 2 cats. He enjoys being part of a pack and loves to play with other dogs. In fact, having a playful canine companion is at the top of his wish list! But when playtime is over, he’s happy to relax on the couch, chew on his toys, or snuggle under the covers. Gunner has great house manners. He’s completely housebroken, crate trained, and quiet in his crate. He knows sit and down, takes correction well, and is learning to keep all four paws on the ground when greeting people. He’s also respectful of cats and comfortable out and about. He even did great on a recent brewery outing! Confident, social, and easygoing, Gunner is the kind of dog who fits right into the routine. He enjoys being around people and other animals but doesn’t need to be the center of attention. He does pull a bit on the leash, but his foster mom finds him easy to walk overall, and he’ll improve with practice. Walks are likely new for him. Gunner’s ideal home would have another playful dog to be his buddy. He can occasionally bark at wildlife or sounds, so a home where that won’t be an issue would be best. If you’re looking for a fun, well-mannered companion who gets along with dogs and cats and knows how to settle in at home, Gunner could be your guy! Gunner will be coming to the DC metro area on 11/7. Apply today to welcome him home!
