Fill out an Adoption Application

Bite case in Feb. 2022. Phillip had 5 stitches to the face. Discussed euthanasia w/ PB.

Gunny is a playful pup with lots of energy and love to give.  He is highly food motivated. He knows sit, paw, down and is working on stay.  Gunny will  absolutely shine in a puppy training class -- which will be required for his adoption. Gunny is young and very curious about everything the world has to offer.  His human foster sister shows him tons of things and he reciprocates by teaching her the importance of cleaning up her toys.

Dislikes: Nothing

Personality: Playful, curious, and loving

Temperament: Typical adolescent!!

Energy level: High energy level!  Will require long walks on grass daily and interactive toys

Favorite activities: Playing fetch, long walks, training with food, shadowing everyone

Good with cats, dogs, and kids (over 6)? Dog friendly, kid friendly, curious about cats

Not good with: N/A

Housetrained: Yes

Crate trained: Yes

Requires a fenced yard (physical fence and/or invisible fence)? Gunny would benefit from a fenced in yard. 

Walks well on a leash? Decent leash walker for a puppy but he is practicing everyday at not pulling.  Faster you go the better he is.  He will want to greet everyone passing so learning to redirect his attention is key.

Challenges: Gunny is young and curious about everything so if you are in the kitchen cooking, he will want to help explore a recipe with you.  Key to his happiness is keeping him busy

Any Medical issues? None.  

What would be the best kind of home? Gunny is great with kids and dog friendly.  He would be best suited for an active family who can walk him daily.    He will not be placed in a home with same-sex bully-breeds, per the Mastiffs to Mutts policy.

Gunny is being fostered in Manasses, VA.
