About Gunner

Gunner is a striking German Shepherd who recently joined us as an owner surrender. He completed a professional board-and-train program, which helped him gain confidence and learn basic commands, but he still needs a strong, experienced owner who's familiar with the breed. When Gunner first arrived, he struggled with insecurity and became easily overstimulated, leading to excessive barking and some nipping. With consistent guidance, he's made noticeable progress. He thrives in a calm environment and would do best as the only dog in a quiet adult-only home. Gunner is not suitable for families with children or those with other pets, as they can overwhelm him. With the right person, Gunner will be a loyal and affectionate companion. His trainer is even offering a complimentary session for a smooth transition. This devoted dog is ready to build a strong bond with someone who can provide the structure he needs. Start your journey together with Gunner. Apply now!
