My story

**Adoption visits are by appointment only** If you see an animal you`re interested in, fill out an adoption questionnaire on our website https://everettwa.gov/161/Adopt-a-PetGunther is an 8-month-old retriever mix with a heart as big as his paws and a personality to match! This lovable goofball is equal parts playful and affectionate—always ready for a game of fetch, a walk around the neighborhood, or a snuggle on the couch after a day of fun.Gunther is still a young pup, which means he’s learning the ropes of the big world one paw at a time. He’s working on his basic manners, leash skills, and house training, and he’s picking it up fast—especially when treats and praise are involved. He’s food-motivated, eager to learn, and thrives with consistent guidance and positive reinforcement.This sweet boy would do best with an active individual, couple, or family who can provide daily exercise, enrichment, and continued training to help him grow into the best version of himself. He’s got the potential to be an amazing hiking buddy, running partner, or backyard explorer.Gunther gets along well with other dogs and would likely enjoy having a canine sibling to romp around with. He’s still figuring out the world, so a home that can offer structure, patience, and lots of love will be perfect for him.If you`re looking for a loyal, happy, and goofy companion to grow up with, Gunther might just be your guy. Come meet him—you’ll fall in love.Wandering Rover Feedback: `Gunther and I went for a nice long walk at Lord Hill, and I was very impressed by his manners. Though he needs some work before he could walk to heel, he didn`t pull or misbehave on leash at all. He is a smart and attentive boy, checked in frequently and will respond to consistent training really well. At home, we played for a while - he loves fetch! - and then he settled down quickly and had a nice nap lying in the sun. If you are looking for a smart, affectionate and engaging companion you couldn`t do much better than Gunther!`
