Gunnar (Nd517)

Gunnar is a funny fellow with a gentle and loving personality. He adores people and will do anything for a chin scratch, belly and back rub. He is a timid boy when first meeting people and takes a little warming up, having a shy and more submissive personality. Pats and treats are definitely the right way to his heart. Once he is comfortable and knows you, there is no way Gunnar will leave your side and you are promised a friend for life! He is so lucky to be alive after coming to SAFE from a community where he was mistreated and had a horrible start to life. He was skin and bones and his skin was terribly rough and patchy. Found in a backyard along with his 3 siblings, sadly his sister was found deceased however luckily for Gunnar and his brother, they are both safe and both awaiting a family to call their own.

Gunnar would be suited to a family with older children (no young ones) or a home with adults. He is shy when first meeting new animals at the park and needing a home who can help him work through his insecurities and ensure he is safe.

He is a happy puppy who loves cuddles and will sit on your lap whilst giving you kisses! He loves his toys, wrestling with his foster friends and once exhausted, having a nap on his bed. Currently in foster care with cats and dogs of all sizes, Gunnar would suit a family with other pets as he loves the company. Someone who is home often or who has another furry companion would be ideal for Gunnar as he has never been left alone and doesn’t cope. He is very reliant of other animals which helps him open up and see the world in a different light, that he won't be hurt anymore and it's all positive reinforcements from here on. The first to greet you when you come home after a big day, he is a very loyal boy. He loves his food which is understandable coming from a background where he had to fend for himself. Training will be a breeze with treats in a home where he will be exercised and loved. Gunnar knows when he hears the word 'sit' that he will get a treat - he is fantastic at sitting! He loves to go out bush for a run with the big dogs and never strays too far. We are unsure of Gunnar’s breeds but he finished growing, now coming in at Medium sized with his long legs, currently weighing in at 18kgs. Gunnar is a special mixed breed surprise, and special he is! Don't look past a rescue like this little man, he will promise to keep you laughing and happy for the rest of his days.
