About Gunner

Meet Gunner, a nine-and-a-half-year-old Pit Bull Terrier whose journey shows just how much heart a dog can have. Rescued from a grim past, Gunner has shown deep resilience, pulling through with the support of those who believed in his second chance. His start wasn’t easy—life on a log chain, neglected and misunderstood—but he’s since transformed into a dog known for his belly rub requests and goofy charm. Despite some initial reactivity on leash or behind barriers, Gunner gets along well with both dogs and cats once properly introduced and given time. He’s especially fond of men and delights in curling up under blankets with his people. Kids of all ages are part of his comfort zone, as he’s lived happily alongside children from infants to ten-year-olds. Car rides are exciting (even if a little nerve-wracking), and you’ll find his happy energy infectious, especially when he greets you with a grin and those trademark zoomies. Gunner’s ideal home will offer him structure and steady leadership. He requires a 6-foot privacy fence and is not suited for walks or dog parks due to his anxiety around strange dogs outside the home. With guidance and boundaries, he’s eager to please and has picked up several commands. If you want a loyal, fun-loving, and affectionate companion at your side—and maybe at your feet under a sweater—Gunner could be the perfect fit. Did you know he’s a Scorpio, too? That explains his loyalty and intensity. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
