Gunner

Gunner: The LapLoving Bird Enthusiast With Springs for Legs<br/><br/>Location: Midway, GA<br/><br/>If you've ever wished for a dog who is equal parts snuggle buddy, outdoor adventurer, and accidental comedian, meet Gunner — a 5yearold, 57pound gentleman currently perfecting the art of being both a couch ornament and a backyard athlete.<br/><br/>Personality & Progress<br/><br/>Indoors, Gunner is a certified cuddle professional. He believes laps exist for one reason and one reason only: him. He melts into you like warm butter and sighs dramatically to let you know he's reached peak comfort.<br/><br/>Outdoors, however? Whole different dog. Gunner becomes a oneman birdwatching committee — sprinting, leaping, and politely (okay, loudly) inviting every bird in the sky to come down and play. He's convinced they're just shy.<br/><br/>He's been a hit at the vet, charming every staff member he's met. His background is a mystery, but his future is bright — he's loving, adaptable, and ready for a home that appreciates both his snuggly and silly sides.<br/><br/>Energy & Lifestyle<br/><br/>Gunner is a “choose your own adventure” companion. Want a snuggly movie buddy? Done. Want a walking partner who gets excited about life? Also done. Want a dog who will enthusiastically patrol your yard for airborne intruders? He's already on it.<br/><br/>Because he can jump and has a strong prey drive, he will need a tall physical fence (over 5 ft) to keep his enthusiasm safely contained.<br/><br/>Training, Manners & Medical<br/><br/><br/> <br/> Medical: Gunner is neutered and up to date on all vaccines. He takes NexGard for flea, tick, and heartworm prevention.<br/> <br/> <br/> Housebroken: Yes. He marked before neuter, but that has improved since surgery.<br/> <br/> <br/> Crate trained: He'll go in with a little encouragement and settles well.<br/> <br/> <br/> Leash skills: Pretty good! He may get excited, but he's manageable and eager.<br/> <br/> <br/> Commands: Familiar with some, though formal training is unknown.<br/> <br/> <br/> Resource guarding: None observed.<br/> <br/> <br/> Separation: He may bark or cry for a few minutes when someone leaves, but he settles quickly.<br/> <br/> <br/> Special needs: None.<br/> <br/><br/><br/>Dog, Cat & Kid Compatibility<br/><br/><br/> <br/> Dogs: Yes<br/> <br/> <br/> Cats: Yes<br/> <br/> <br/> Kids: Yes He hasn't lived with small children, but he briefly interacted with a young niece and didn't react negatively.<br/> <br/><br/><br/>Funniest Gunner Moments<br/><br/>Gunner's signature move is his “bird invitation dance.” He'll sprint around the yard, leap into the air, and bark up at the sky as if he's hosting a neighborhood block party for sparrows. The birds, tragically, never RSVP — but Gunner remains hopeful.<br/><br/>Ideal Home<br/><br/>Gunner will thrive in a home that appreciates both sides of his personality: the soft, snuggly lap dog and the joyful, birdobsessed athlete. A tall fenced yard is essential, and an adopter who enjoys a mix of affection, silliness, and outdoor fun will adore him. He's adaptable, loving, and ready to match whatever energy his humans bring.<br/><br/>If you're looking for a dog who will warm your lap, make you laugh daily, and remind you to look up at the sky every now and then, Gunner is your guy.<br/><br/>Current Location: Midway, GA<br/>Volunteer transport can be arranged in the Continental US, within 1,000 miles of the dog's current location. A Certificate of Veterinary Inspection (CVI) is required for transport. There will be an additional charge of $75.00 required to offset the cost of obtaining a CVI. In most cases, our transport team will be able to arrange transport of your adopted dog to within 2 hours of your home. You may apply for a dog outside of the 1,000 mile radius, but you must be willing to make arrangements for transport, which may include flying at your expense, driving to a location within the 1,000 mile radius, or obtaining an independent transport at your expense.
