Gunther

Gunther is a very handsome, 6 year old German Shepherd. He loves to play fetch, and will even drop the toy at your feet and wait patiently for you to throw it again! He has had some basic training, and is a very smart boy. Gunther loves his people, and has done well previously living with kids!

He was adopted out from us previously, in 2022, and came back through no fault of his own! While in their home he was always housebroken and respectful of boundaries and eager to greet visitors.

Gunther is a striking, intelligent, athletic, and fiercely loving boy! He is very much a volunteer favorite around here, and he would love an active home where he can go on adventures with you and play lots and lots of fetch/frisbee!

You'll notice Gunther's super cool, adventure goggles! He was diagnosed with pannus in August, an autoimmune disease that can cause cloudiness and vision loss if left untreated. Gunther will require lifelong eye drops, but has become a total pro about taking them! He will also need his goggles in order to go outside while keeping his eyes protected.

His goggles don't slow him down one bit - it's quite amazing to watch him play fetch/frisbee. He hardly misses the ball, he leaps up and twirls in the air. Gunther has a very high drive, so he does need a home that can keep up with him. Plus when he has his goggles on, he can stick his head out of the window on car rides without irritation, which he loves! He is such a great traveler.

When he isn't playing, he is very affectionate. Gunther likes to stay close and will often have a paw reached out, touching you as he lays close by.
