He likes to take his time with everything and can get a little grouchy if he feels he is being rushed when he is in play mode. He does like toy balls and loves bones! He still likes to explore and loves hanging out with ladies but adores attention from anyone especially if they have fruit and give him ear rubs.“

  — Saydee H.

• “Hello my name is Gunner! I’m clumsy, goofy, excited and can be quite stubborn when I want to be 😈. I like to act like a tough guy but deep down I’m a big baby I can’t sleep without my favorite chew toy and love to snuggle my sisters squishmellows. I love exploring new places and new smells it’s my favorite thing to do (besides snuggle). I can be a little suspicious of new people and dogs so I don’t do well in public places. But once I know you I’ll be your best friend. I also like to chase anything moving so mommy has to keep me on a leash all the time. Im a puppy so I’m still learning impulse control 😄 Im so happy to have you wonderful people so I can have freedom to explore new places without being on a leash!“

  — Colleen Q.

My nose gets me in trouble sometimes but I mean well! I love to chase and play with seagulls at the beach until I am exhausted! I enjoy ruffling thru the brush to root out critters( my mom never lets me get any if she thinks i am on the trail of something!) And i am hilarious to watch be cause i can hop really hi when doing it. I am a sweet. Sensitive boy who is super affectionate. I didn't have a good start in life but i learned humans can be awesome so i enjoy getting to meet new people with the occasional no personal space bum sniff 😉“

  — Nikki T.

  — Nicole Y.

• “Hi! I'm Gunner and I love everyone! Can we be friends? My dad says I'm a house hippo because I LOVE food! Do you have any treats for me? I am just a happy and goofy boy. My mom and dad rescued me last year and now I let them sleep on the bed with me since they are pretty nice and give me lots of kisses. Thank you for letting me come to your house and play!“

  — CJ N.

• “Im gunner and im a bit shy, awkward and look alittle mean because my neck scruff comes up, but im the quirkiest dog ever! I’m super vocal and love to play fetch. I’m very fast and my owners can never catch up. I’m great at swimming and jump in my moms pool, I can run all day and snuggle up with my siblings in the nights. I’m trained and have an okay recall. I love being sunbathed and digging for bugs.“
