Welcome Gunny

Fostered in Richmond Va
Gunny is a really nice boy from a troubled situation. He witnessed his owner murder their significant other. It did traumatize him a little. He does not enjoy gunfire or fireworks but otherwise seems no worse for wear. We do not know if there was abuse precipitating the event but he does prefer women to men. It is his preference to socialize with the ladies. He will warm up to men and give kisses but it takes him a little time to approach. He's adjusting to foster care and is learning about crate training. He is already housebroken and walks nicely on leash. Seems like he's got a moderate energy level - too high energy but not a slug either. He would enjoy a fence but could easily adjust to an apartment with daily walks.
Gunny is a really great sized bully. He's a red merle or desert camo so we had to give him a military style name. He's buff with darker red splotches, red nose and gold eyes. He's got prick ears.
Cat free home preference. He's not a seek and destroy kind of dog but he will definitely chase a cat. In a home with a strong trainer, his drives might be tempered but stray cats would always be fair game. I would anticipate the same behavior regarding rats, birds and ferrets
