Gunner

My story

Looking for a running buddy and a loyal best friend? Gunner could your guy. This handsome fella, has a gentle spirit and a love for movement. Recently taken into ACCT Foster Care, we are about to learn a lot more about him. From his time in the shelter we learned that Gunner likes to go for runs. He stays right by their side, keeps an easy pace, and soaked up the sunshine. During a treat break, he happily showed off his “sit” and “lay down.” Calm, well-mannered, and quietly curious, Gunner is learning the ropes of being someone’s very best friend. He’s quiet in his kennel and ready to go once leashed. He can be strong on leash at first due to excitement, but he settles in nicely with activity. He enjoys his time outside, especially when there’s a stuffed squeaky toy involved! Gunner has participated in doggy playgroup and has done great with other dogs. If you're an active household ready to give this sweet guy structure, love, and plenty of fun- reach out to the ACCT foster team – foster@acctphilly.org and schedule a meet!

What a joy he is! This sweet guy, stayed right by my side, ran at an easy pace, was calm and well mannered throughout. We took a break in the grass for some treats and he showed me his knowledge of sit and laydown. An absolute joy to hang with! 07/05/2025 volunteer notes: Gunner was in the welcome center and was very quiet and calm when I approached him to go out. He was easy to leash but is very strong on the leash during the walk. He spent our yard time mostly exit seeking and did not seek out my attention. He did enjoy playing with a stuffed squeaky toy for a brief moment. I think he would be good for the running team! 07/02/2025 staff notes, playgroup: Somewhat steerable, bouncy, good greetings, engaged in play, mounted, rowdy play MEDICAL Intake Exam 6/30/25: Eyes - clear Ears - slight wax Nose - moist, clear Mouth/Teeth/Gums - stained yellow teeth Coat & Skin - clean, no fleas or debris visible Urogenital - male, no scar/tattoo visible, no testicles Gait/Mobility - no lameness Attitude: BAR, sweet dog, great to handle, very loving just shy, food motivated ACCT Philly is located at 111 West Hunting Park Ave in Philadelphia.
