Gunnar

  • Available
  • Age 1-2
  • Sex Male
  • Size 62 lbs
  • Fixed Yes
  • House Trained Yes
  • Foster Parent(s) Thanks to Tom, Eleanor, Anna and Will for being great fosters to Gunnar!

High energy, super smart, highly food motivated. See video of his food ball skills! Would be well suited to an energetic family, where he will get lots of exercise and mental stimulation. Very polite with new people and treats all family members equally (no obvious favorites). Does well in crate when relaxed and sleeps in it through the night. Gunnar seems to do best in a quiet home where he can fully relax.

More info about Gunnar

Other Dogs ▼

Gunnar is wonderful with other dogs and loves to play. He is looking forward to getting back to full health so he can get back to living his best life and playing with other dogs.

Cats ▼

Previous shelter suggests that he got over excited with cats and gets hyper focussed on them. He probably won't be. good room mate with cats.

Children ▼

No aggression but high energy and a high food drive. Older kids would be great. Small kids might get snacks snatched initially, which would not be ideal. Gunnar also seems to feed off the energy in the house and have trouble relaxing when there is a lot going on. While he does fine with kids, a more predictable and quieter home might be best.

Leash ▼

Not trained at all but not too bad! Highly food motivated and a very fast learner. Will bark at other dogs. Shelter suggested that he is friendly in their dog tests and just desperate to meet them, but given heartworm treatment we can't facilitate interactions right now as he would get too excited.

Where I'm from ▼

Came from Texas to a shelter in Fort Collins. Was really struggling in a shelter environment and so was fostered with RMLR, where he can get the quiet and rest that he needs to get through the heartworm treatment. Gunnar is done with his heartworm treatment injections and is counting down the days until he can live a long, happy and energetic life! He is currently enjoying pup cups and trying to keep his brain busy while he recovers.

We are a small group of dedicated volunteers who love dogs and work to find homes for Labs and Lab Mixes in need.
