Meet Gunner *Arriving 3/8*

Meet Gunner – Your New Best Friend! Gunner is a lovable, intelligent, and affectionate Shepherd/Collie mix puppy who’s ready to find his new family! This sweet boy is friendly with people of all ages and great with dogs of all sizes. He’s the perfect mix of playful energy and gentle affection, making him a wonderful companion for an active family or anyone looking for a loyal best friend. Why You’ll Love Gunner: ✅ Crate trained & great in the car – Perfect for adventures! ✅ Loves kids & other dogs – A playful and gentle companion. ✅ Lap pet & cuddle bug – Will happily snuggle up with you. ✅ Eager to please & intelligent – A quick learner, ready to impress! ✅ Goofy, affectionate & even-tempered – Brings joy wherever he goes. Gunner’s Personality: This handsome pup adores being with his people and will happily follow you around, waiting patiently with his soulful eyes for snuggle time. He’s still a puppy, so he’ll need training, but with his eagerness to learn and loving nature, he’s sure to become the perfect companion in no time! Gunner’s Dream Home: Gunner is going to be a big boy, so he’ll thrive in a home with space to run and play. He would love an active family, a yard to explore, and maybe even a furry sibling to romp around with! If you’re looking for a loyal, fun-loving, and affectionate puppy to fill your home with love and laughter, Gunner is your guy! Could you be his family? Gunner is from Texas. They arrive in Minnesota on 03/08/2025 and will need to be picked up from the Ruff Start Rescue office in Princeton, MN between the hours of 4:30 and 8pm. Please plan for their arrival accordingly as we cannot accommodate pickups outside of this time frame.  Since they haven’t arrived yet, they are available exclusively through Ruff Start’s Foster to Adopt (FTA) Program. Click here to learn more about the FTA program. Once they get to Minnesota, they might require further veterinary care. Ruff Start’s veterinary suite is located in Princeton, MN, and, as the foster, you will be required to transport your dog to and from these vetting appointments. If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application. An adoption application is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is not a binding contract. To learn more about Ruff Start’s adoption process and the care our foster animals receive, please visit our How to Adopt page. *Rescue puppies are notorious for losing their birth certificates before entering our rescue. We cannot guarantee the breed or size they will be full grown.* If you are unable to adopt but want to help this animal and others in our care, you can donate to support the medical and veterinary needs of all Ruff Start Rescue animals.
