If you've been searching for the "unicorn" of dogs-the one who checks every single box-look no further. Meet Gunner! At just one year old, this handsome mixed-breed lad is in the prime of his "teenager" phase, meaning he's got all the energy for adventure but a heart that's already seasoned in the art of friendship. Gunner is the kind of dog who thinks everyone he meets is a new best friend. It's rare to find a young, high-energy dog who is so socially savvy, but Gunner makes it look easy. Gunner is a fan of the "small humans." He's sturdy enough for playtime and gentle enough to enjoy a good ear scratch from a pint-sized pal. Gunner has lived with cats in the past and is respectful of their space. He has also done well with other dogs. Gunner isn't a couch potato (at least not until he's had his morning run!). He needs a family that loves to stay moving-think hiking, long walks, or vigorous games of fetch in the yard. Being a smart one-year-old, Gunner loves to learn. He's ready to dive into training and would probably be a star in a basic manners class. Is Gunner the missing piece to your puzzle? If you have an active lifestyle and plenty of love to give, Gunner is ready to pack his bags (and his favorite ball) to join your family! Come meet this sweet boy and see his "happy dance" in person.
