Fondly named Gunner, he was found/brought in as a stray so the shelter unfortunately has no prior background on him. The shelter describes him as 'Gunner is a happy, friendly boy with an upright, relaxed, and wiggly body who eagerly approaches for attention. His neutral ears, soft eye gaze, and long, soft lips show his gentle, easygoing nature. With a Low Fear-Anxiety-Stress level (1), Gunner is confident, social, and ready to be a loving companion *Gunner is okay to go out on a trust and health waiver due to Neurological issues, CIRDC (Kennel Cough), & Pulmonary Disease* They further noted, 'There are multiple possible causes for the symptoms observed, and he requires further diagnostic workups beyond what the shelter is able to provide. Videos documenting his condition have been uploaded to the Trello link, where they can be viewed and downloaded at https://trello.com/c/UIX8W6c9 At this time, he is bright, alert, and eating; however, he is exhibiting head tremors and instability when walking. Potential concerns include neurological conditions, distemper (test results are currently pending), other infectious processes, pulmonary disease, or additional underlying issue.' We also have a complete set of medical behavior notes upon request. To adopt this dear puppy, please contact the shelter directly to adopt by calling 562-940-6898 asap and reference his applicable ID.
