GUNNER - German Shepherd Dog Dog for Adoption in San Jose, California

08/25/26 09:56 Gunner is in URGENT need of rescue for his fearfulness and inconsistent kennel behavior. When he first came in, Gunner was completely shut down. Since he has been at the shelter for some time, he has started to open up. He is still shy when first coming out of the kennel for his daily walk but after a few minutes he loosens up and allows handling. His biggest concern is his kennel presence. Gunner is still super scared in the kennel. Most of the time he will run to the back of the kennel and not approach people at the front; however, there are some times where he is baring teeth and charging the front. Gunner needs out of the shelter and into a home that will give him time to decompress and learn that he is safe. 07/28/26 11:29 Very fearful in the shelter with an FAS of 4. In need of rescue.
