Gunner is a male Shepherd mix rescued in Texas. Our veterinary partner estimates that Gunner is 2 years old at the time of intake in July 2020. Gunner is good with people of all ages and other dogs.   All this handsome guy knew of life was the short wire he was tied to in someone's backyard, without a human word or touch, suffering with no shelter from the rain, heat and cold, eating only sporadic meals and water oftentimes placed out of his reach. But on the 4th of July, Gunner's independence was finally won and he was rescued from that life!  Gunner is now a Rescue Dogs Rock NYC pup and that means his life will be something to celebrate.  Gunner spent his entire life watching the world pass by without him, and he is now learning how to live in that world inside a home where he is loved and cherished. Gunner will need a patient, understanding family that is willing to work with Gunner and continue the training Gunner is currently receiving as he acclimates to life off of a chain.  If you can open your heart and home to Gunner, please apply online to adopt Gunner at www.rescuedogsrocknyc.org.
