About Gunner

Gunner is a charming 3-year-old Labradoodle mix who thrives on outdoor adventures, enjoying walks and exploring new scents. He makes a perfect companion during quiet nights, snuggling up in bed as a gentle guest. While mostly potty-trained, he will need some support to reach full house training in his new home. Gunner behaves well indoors and can be trusted to free-roam when his family is away. He seems to have a preference for female caregivers and does best in a calm household. Though he has been great with polite children, he may be overwhelmed by younger, rowdy ones. Gunner has enjoyed the company of other dogs and would benefit from having a furry friend to play with. He’s also been fine with cats that ignore him but will chase after those who run, so a confident cat or a cat-free home is recommended for him. Gunner is excited to find his forever family. Come meet this sweet boy soon!
