Meet Gunner, a lovable 5-year-old male Labradoodle with a heart as big as his 65-pound body—and absolutely no understanding of personal space. Gunner firmly believes he is a lap dog, despite all evidence to the contrary, and he considers cuddles, belly rubs, and being within arm’s reach of his humans to be essential household services. Loyal, protective, and eager to please, Gunner loves being part of a family and will happily appoint himself your shadow, best buddy, security supervisor, and full-time cuddle consultant. Gunner has lived with children and other dogs and does well with both. He is used to a quieter family life and may need a little time to settle into new places, but once he is comfortable, his sweet personality and goofy charm come out in full force. A fenced yard would be ideal for this big, playful guy so he can run, romp, and burn off some energy before returning to his most important mission: finding the smallest possible spot on the couch and somehow taking up all of it. Gunner is house trained, crate trained, and has good house manners. He can also sit on command, shake, lie down, and stay for a treat—because apparently snacks make him a very serious scholar. If you are looking for a devoted companion who will love you fiercely, protect his people, make you laugh, and possibly convince you that 65 pounds does fit in your lap, Gunner may be your perfect match. Ready to make room on your couch, in your heart, and possibly under your blanket? Apply to meet Gunner today and see if this sweet, loyal boy is the missing piece of your family. You can fill out an application with Peppertree Rescue and we will send it to his family.
