Story
Approx DOB January 2025. We adopted Smokey 6/13/2026, after she had spent six weeks with her breeders mom, as her original family could no longer handle her. She's very sweet, sometimes goofy, and mostly a couch potato. She does have bursts energy, and needs a good walk or two a day, or a few sessions playing in the backyard. We have a 5 YO Dane female, altered, and a 4 YO Dane male, unaltered; we've had them both since 8 weeks. They got along well for 7 weeks, until Smokey had issue w/our girl - big fight. Now both won't have anything to do with her; we have to keep them separated 24/7, which isn't good for anyone in the house. She bonded with me (mom) instantly. Think part of the aggression toward our girl was resource guarding me, and trying to become the dominant one. She became more comfortable with us over the weeks (good!) - more tail wagging, better appetite; perhaps trying to solidify her position here. She'll make a WONDERFUL only dog.

Story
PLEASE NOTE! WE ARE A TEXAS BASED RESCUE. THIS DOG IS CURRENTLY IN TEXAS AND WILL BE TRANSPORTED TO YOUR STATE ONCE ADOPTED. Our app can be found at haydudeequine.org Hi there! I'm Gunner. I'm an 10-month-old pup weighing about 60 pounds, and I'm looking for a family who appreciates a dog with a big heart and an even bigger personality. I've been told I'm quite the conversationalist. Now, don't worry—I'm not a nonstop barker. I just like to share my thoughts. If you're talking, I'll probably have something to say about it. If dinner is running late, expect a few comments. If we're headed out on an adventure, you'll definitely hear my excitement. Some people call it sass; I call it excellent communication skills. When I'm not busy chatting, you'll probably find me in the water. I absolutely LOVE to swim, splash, and play. A pond, pool, creek, lake, sprinkler—if it's wet, I'm interested. Water is my happy place, and I'd love a family who enjoys outdoor adventures as much as I do. I'm a sweet, social guy who enjoys making new friends and being part of the action. At 60 pounds, I'm a sturdy pup, but I'm still young and excited to learn new things. Whether we're exploring the great outdoors, going for a walk, or relaxing at home, I'll be right by your side—offering companionship, loyalty, and the occasional opinion. If you're looking for a friendly, water-loving best friend who will keep you laughing and always be ready for the next adventure, I might be the perfect match. Hope to meet you soon! Love, Gunner
