DESCRIPTION
Gunner is a handsome two-year-old male Border Collie who is as sweet as he is cute. Gunner spent most of his first two years in a backyard with his siblings and did not have much socialization, but he has been learning while in his foster home. He is low to medium energy and enjoys being with his person. He will lie around the house on his dog bed, but be ready to go for a walk or take a ride. He is house-broken. He is slow to trust, but if his adopter is patient, he will warm up and become a Velcro dog. He cannot be left alone in a chain link fenced yard because he will escape. He would do well in a quieter home that has time to spend with him. He longs for a gentle sidekick that will be his person. He has not shown any aggression but is fearful when pressured too much too quickly. He is equally timid around males, females, and children. He has been good with my dogs, who are huskies. He is afraid of cats and avoids them. He will make a wonderful companion for someone who is willing to let him set the pace.
