Meet Gunner

Meet Gunner! A gentle and loving six-year-old Labrador Retriever/Great Pyrenees mix from Simsbury, CT, whose heart is as big as his 75-pound frame. With his mostly black coat, hints of brindle, and a charming white patch on his chest, he’s a strikingly handsome boy who carries himself with the calm confidence of a true companion dog. Whether he’s lounging by your side or trotting happily on a walk, Gunner’s easygoing nature makes every moment feel warm and effortless. A certified “big teddy bear,” Gunner is the definition of low-maintenance! He’s house-trained, crate-trained, and completely content to relax when left alone—though he’d certainly prefer to be where you are! His favorite activities include leisurely strolls, car rides with the windows cracked just enough to enjoy the breeze, and receiving endless affection. If you’re looking for a dog who will happily follow you from room to room, Gunner is your guy! He’s incredibly friendly with strangers, great with young children, and loves meeting new canine friends. He hasn’t spent much time around cats, but his sweet and gentle nature suggests he’d adjust well with proper introductions. Gunner thrives in a home where he can be part of the daily routine. His schedule is simple—breakfast in the morning, a few potty breaks throughout the day, and dinner in the evening, followed by one last outdoor trip before curling up for bedtime. He isn’t demanding but truly enjoys quality time with his people, whether that means a backyard play session or just lying at your feet while you relax. While Gunner would love to be adopted alongside his brother, Luka, he’s also ready to bring joy to a new family on his own. If you’re searching for a calm, affectionate, and deeply devoted companion, Gunner is ready to be your loyal best friend! Could he be the missing piece in your home?
