Meet Gunnar, the 9-year-old, 40-pound Border Collie who's got more love to give than a Hallmark card! 🎉 This gentle giant is on a mission to find a forever family that he can shower with affection. With a heart as big as his paws, Gunnar greets everyone he meets with calmness and sincerity, those soulful eyes practically asking, "Will you be my friend?" 💖 Imagine coming home to find this loving pup snuggled next to you, softly tapping your leg for some company—how could anyone resist? Whether it's rolling in grass during summer or soaking up the sun in winter, every moment outside fills him with pure happiness, and his sweet smile is truly contagious! ☀️ Gunnar isn’t just a heartthrob; he’s also a gentleman! His foster mom thinks he’s the most well-mannered dog out there—now that’s no small feat! This lovable lad gets along splendidly with all his furry friends. He’s already crate trained and is no trouble at all when left alone in the house. And let’s not forget, he has a cozy little spot on his dog bed or in an open crate for a good night's sleep. But if you happen to invite him, he’ll happily cuddle with you all night long, making for the coziest sleepover ever! 🐾 Gunnar thrives in a low-key home with a steady routine. After a stint as an only dog, he’s ready for the companionship of another furry friend—because, let’s face it, every dog deserves a buddy! 🐕 He’s also perfect for calm, respectful teens who need a furry sidekick for homework or just want a loyal friend. He will fill your home with love and joy! His new family will undoubtedly find that Gunnar is one of life's greatest gifts, and the "Happy Adoption Day" toy is waiting just for him! 🎁 Gunnar is currently being fostered in Shoreview, MN. His adoption fee is $350 + MN sales tax, and he comes neutered, microchipped, and up to date on all necessary vaccines! After a recent dental check-up and cleaning, that dazzling smile of his is even more radiant! Every adoptive family will receive a collar, harness, leash, starter food, a blanket, favorite toys & treats, and he’s all set with flea/tick and heartworm prevention. As a foster-based rescue, the organization doesn't have a central facility for visits, but meet and greets with Gunnar can be arranged once his adoption application is received, processed, and approved. The organization adopts to families located within 400 miles of Minneapolis/St. Paul. So what are you waiting for? If you're ready to make a furry friend for life, apply to adopt Gunnar through the Buddy App today! 🐶❤️
