About Gunner

Gunner is a wonderful adult German Shepherd who is ready for a new home. Currently, he’s living with two cats and a toddler, and he generally gets along well with the cats, although he tends to forget his size while playing. Gunner has learned many commands, thanks to his previous owner’s training, but he still needs some work on socialization with other dogs, as he barks at them quite a bit. With his playful nature, he may unintentionally knock over small children or adults during playtime, so a home with older kids or dog-savvy families might be ideal for him. If Gunner sounds like a fit for you, please reach out to his guardian via text at 812-606-3235. ***PLEASE CONTACT OWNER DIRECTLY***
