About Gunner

Adoption Fee: $50
Boxer mix
Age: Young Adult
Sex: Male

Goofy Gunner is a 2 year old boxer mix who really needs a forever home! Good with other dogs and all people, he's a loving big boy who needs someone with a fenced yard to spoil him and take him on long walks or hikes. He is the gentlest dog ever! He loves treats, tug of war, and dismantling the stuffing out of squeaky toys. Gunner is healthy, up to date on all shots through May 2022, Heartworm Negative, and is already neutered. (No cats.) Please share as much as possible.... this boy deserves the best life!!! Gunner is a gorgeous and sweet boy! He is a goofy, golden 95 pound two year old neutered boxer mix. His birthday is 2/21/2019. Like most Pisces, he is a lover, not a fighter! He is WONDERFUL with people! I'd have to recommend a home with older children simply because of his size, but he is incredibly gentle with everyone he meets. He just LOVES to have company come over. His temperament is sweet! He likes attention, but is not a 'velcro dog' except sometimes at bedtime. He loves belly rubs and burrowing under the covers. He is quite mischievous and incredibly smart! That being said, he does not demand a whole lot of attention. He is super chill. Like, I mean, super, super chill. Like The Dude chill. (Until he sees his leash. Then he is temporarily like a toddler on crack.) Gunner likes to play tug of war, and he loves to give the best slobbery kisses! He has a very soft mouth, and does not use teeth for nipping or biting. Sometimes he is 'mouthy', but he is always careful not to bite. He is truly one of the most gentle dogs I've ever been around. When he gets to meet new people, he just HAS to find a toy or a blanket to show off to his new friend. It's so sweet it could make you cry, really. He also LOVES other dogs! He has been temperament tested by a professional behaviorist, and he has play dates 2-3 times a week with my brother's pack of 4 dogs. He looks forward to any car rides at all, and I swear he knows when he's going to visit his new friends! Gunner is completely house trained! Not a single accident in the house at all! He also does well in a crate for many hours at a time. He had one owner before I began fostering who had him since a few weeks old and who spoiled him rotten. This fella has never known anything but love in his life, and it shows. All shots are current to 5/14/22. He can be dangerous to sandals and house slippers. I'd ideally like him to go to an experienced dog owner. He is not afraid of storms, but he will bark at thunder and fireworks, as if he's trying to tell you that there is something going on outside. He barks at some noises outside. He is also quite serious about chasing any squirrels or raccoons out out of my yard, which I greatly appreciate. He is also an accomplished mouser, having rid my house of at least two of the gnarly little critters. He loves baby carrots and blueberries for treats, in addition to knuckle bones and dog cookies and other treats. I've recently discovered that he also likes salads. Currently eating Purina One dry food and Purina Pro Plan wet food. (1/2 can mixed with 1.5-2 cups dry food - two times per day, morning and evening. I have decreased this somewhat, as I am concerned about him gaining too much weight.) It took Gunner about a week to adjust to life in my household, and his personality has been shining through more and more. He's funny, playful, smart, silly, strong, protective, non-aggressive, slobbery and goofy. This dog will be the perfect pet for someone who has the time to spend with him. Gunner a really good boy who is going to make someone the PERFECT companion.
