GUNNAR, YOU’RE PERFECT!

Gunnar is the perfect example of why what you see inside a shelter is NOT always what you see inside a home. Gunnar is ready for a forever home!!

****WAIVED ADOPTION FEES ALL WEEK LONG**** Shelter environments can cause extreme stress, overstimulation, and fear, often masking a dog’s true personality. We have several long-term dogs who sadly struggle with this unfortunate reality — sometimes for years — before finding that special someone willing to take a chance on them. Some have yet to even get that chance.

Once in a calm home environment, their stress begins to melt away.

Gunnar’s transformation perfectly illustrates the saying: “What you see in the shelter is not always what you see at home.”

Gunnar is a 5-year-old mixed breed who has been at AWL for over 1.5 years, and sadly, staff could tell shelter life was starting to wear on him. But after spending just a few short days outside the shelter with a short term foster, his entire demeanor changed — literally within hours of leaving.

Gunnar is basically one big cuddly teddy bear who just wants to be your sidekick. He LOVES attention and will happily stay attached to your hip all day if you let him. He’s wonderful on walks with great leash manners, is housebroken, and makes virtually no mess.

Dogs like Gunnar just need someone willing to see beyond the shelter and give them the chance they deserve. Gunnar is great with kids, dog selective, and has not yet been introduced to cats. Are you interested in meeting Gunnar? If so, please submit an adoption application:
