Hello, my name is Gunnar!
Hi My name is Gunnar, but you can call me Gunny.....
.....and I have a Heart of Gold. Even my rough start in life couldn't change that. I had no one who cared and no hope for anything better, but like so many other GSDs my life turned around when GHGSD Rescue took me in. I now have a foster family who is helping me to BLOOM. And bloom, I am! How surprised everyone was to find out how smart I am. In no time, I have learned to sit, stay, come, leave-it, down and, are you ready for this....HI-FIVE! Can you believe that? And just between you and me, I have a lot of other tricks inside me, just waiting for you to bring them out.
There are so many things about me that are special. First, I am a kind of mini-me GSD. I'm only 65 pounds and I'm full grown. This makes me just right for situations where a 100 pound GSD is a bit too much. Of course, I still have ALL the characteristics that make a GSD special. I am loyal, kind, gentle, affectionate, happy, and smart. Did I remember to tell you how smart I am? I also have a bright, cheerful face. And I particularly love to be cuddled and petted. I guess that's because I missed out on it when I was younger. My special skill is snuggling in bed. I love kids, both large and small, and I love to play. I will do OK with other dogs and maybe even cats but it will take some training because at times I am a little uncertain. But I can learn...BECAUSE I'M SMART... Did I mention, I'm smart? Plus I really want to please, so if that's what's important to you, I will learn how to handle it.
As much as I love my foster family, its time for me to find my own forever family. I know that's true because I have so much to give and I need to share my love. After all, my primary goal in life is to be someone's BFF (text me!). I'm a tender hearted guy who craves companionship. I think a smaller family or single parent might be best for me so I don't get lost in the shuffle and my confidence can continue to build. I would love to spend time with my forever family going to obedience and/or agility training so I can make you proud.
Plus I would love that one-on-one attention. I am in good health and ready to go. If you are reading this, I hope YOU are the one.
