About Gunner
Meet Gunner. He is a 5-year-old, 10-pound Dachshund with a little body and a big heart, along with a story he'd love to share if he could. While not much is known about Gunner’s past, it’s clear that life has not always been kind to him. He approaches new people with caution and needs time to build trust. For months, he has been waiting for someone to see beyond his initial nervousness and give him the chance he truly deserves. Once Gunner feels safe, his affectionate side shines through. He adores snuggling, going for walks, and playing with toys. He also enjoys the company of his furry foster siblings, making him a great companion for other dogs. Loyal to those he trusts, Gunner thrives in a calm environment and would do best with someone who can spend quality time with him. While he has done well with children, Gunner prefers the quieter companionship of adults. His ideal home would be with someone who leads a more serene lifestyle, like middle-aged or senior adults seeking a devoted friend. Gunner is partially house trained; however, he tends to mark indoors. His foster home uses belly bands to manage this, and he adapts well. Understanding Gunner means recognizing that he values patience. He won’t rush into your arms but will reward you with a deep bond once he feels secure. To ensure a good match, Gunner qualifies for a 3-week foster-to-adopt period, allowing time for trust and settling in. He doesn’t require a perfect family, just kindness and a safe space to finally feel at home. Ready to welcome this sweet companion? Apply to adopt Gunner today.
