I’m Gunner. Learning Fast and Loving Every Bit of It.
Male Born 2/14/2026

I’m at that stage where everything is new and everything is interesting.

I move, I stop, I look, I try again. I’m figuring it out step by step.

I didn’t have the best start, but I didn’t lose my ability to trust. I’m already showing how much I enjoy being around people. I lean in, I stay close, I settle once I feel safe.

I’ve got a mix that’s known for intelligence and loyalty. With the right guidance, I’m going to grow into a really solid dog.

Right now, I just need someone to show me the way.
