Gunner's Story
Hey there everybody, my name is Gunner and I`m a two year old black and tan coonhound mix. My story is like many other rescued pups - I was found left abandoned on the side of a country road. I was found skin and bones looking for food and shelter. The Hancock County Animal Shelter took me in and has been nursing me back to good health. I`m lucky that I`m here still and I`m looking for a second change at living a happy life filled with fun, energy, and love. Even though things have been rough for me, I`m still very trusting of others and love to be around people.
I am an active and happy pup that loves to play in the shelter yard with my pup friends. I do need some training, so I am looking for a family that has the time and energy to leash and house train me and help me to learn basic commands. Because of that I might do best in a home without small children for now until I learn to do all that better, but after time I`m sure I`ll be good with even little kids too! I love having pup friends around, but I don`t really like being around cats. I hope that`s okay!
I am neutered, up to date on shots, and microchipped, but I am heartworm positive so I would need treatment for it to get to perfect health again. Please don`t let that deter you because if you want to adopt me then I`ll be able to start my treatment and begin my path back to good health - it will just take a little extra help on your end and then I`ll be 100% again. In return, I`ll give you love, companionship, and lots of doggie kisses! :)
I am currently in Hancock County, Mississippi, but the good folks at Animal Rescue Front will bring me up north to you and the trip is included in the adoption fee. If you are interested in taking me into your forever home, please fill out the adoption form here: http://animalrescuefront.org/forms/
Thanks for checking out my page - I hope I get to meet you (and love you) soon!- Gunner (2.10.16)
