GUNTHER

This handsome guy came to the shelter when his owner could no longer care for him. He's a little nervous when meeting new people, but he's sweet and warms up! Proper, slow introductions to other dogs are needed, he has been selective and a bit reactive when encountering some dogs (but not all). At times, he has also been too much for small children (he's large and full of energy), so may do best in a home with no small children or smaller pets.Insights from his foster: `He is very sweet and very friendly so he jumps up and gives lots of kisses. He listens really well and is easy to push off is the kisses get to be too much. He loves turkey and whipped cream!! Is a great walker, doesn’t react to people, birds, squirrels, or dogs. He pulls when he’s determined to investigate a bush! He is so sweet and energetic!``We took Gunther out for a short time on Saturday. Gunther is sweet and loves praise. He loved walking on Bolin Creek. He let bikes pass without notice and was interested in some of the people we passed. Gunther was really stirred up when we picked him up, bouncing all around the car, but on the way home, with some energy drained, he stayed put in the back and seemed satisfied. He really enjoyed sniffing and exploring. We let him walk through the creek while on leash, and he seemed to like that, too. Gunther is a beautiful dog with a great smile. He walked great for an hour straight, even on a hot day.`
