Gunner is in foster care in Southampton, Hampshire, he arrived in our care on the 13th of September 2024 and he was born on the 25th of July 2020.

He is a friendly boy, however on first meetings he can come across a little quiet.  Once he susses you out, this boy will completely change and become your best friend!  Gunner is tall and on the bigger end of the greyhound scale, but despite this he is a very gentle and kind boy.  This lad has always got a huge smile on his face, never a sad day with him around.  How could you resist not falling in love with him?!

This boy is settling into foster care well, he is coping with the household noises, including hoover, washing machine, TV, dishwasher etc.  He is nearly housetrained and is able to share dog beds with his other greyhound friends.  Gunner loves welcoming you into the room with his waggy tail and big smile!

Gunner enjoys going out for walks, he will trot alongside you and enjoys all that he sees.  This boy just loves being out and about with his human friends, whatever the weather; he doesn’t seem to mind the rain!

He will greet new people with a waggy tail, a lovely smile and is polite with his manners!  Gunner LOVES his food, sometimes a little too much but will take treats gently from your hand, what a lovely boy he is!  This lad never thinks of his waist line and doesn’t have an off switch when it comes to food, he may need a little help from his new owner on this one!

Gunner especially enjoys going out for car journeys and will jump in the back of a car with ease, he soon settles down and is very eager the other end to get out and start his new adventure!

He has met many other breeds of dog, he shows medium and larger breeds of dog, his politeness with his manners and would quite like to play with them, if correct introductions were carried out.  His gorgeous smile never ends and he will greet his doggie friends exactly the same as his human ones – waggy tail, huge smile and polite manners!  Gunner can get VERY excited if he sees other dogs playing and having fun, he really just wants to go and play but forgets that he is on the lead!  This can lead to him being a little strong on the lead, however walking on a Canny will take the strength out and give you a pleasurable walk with your new canine friend!  Gunner is still working on his manners around smaller dogs; he doesn’t know what they are at the moment and finds them fascinating to watch!

This lad LOVES to play!  He will play with toys, his friends (canine and human), Gunner just likes to live life to the full and is always a happy boy!  This lad gets very excited when he is playing with you and his canine friends.  During this time Gunner can become quite a licky boy and will give you lots of kisses!

Gunner has the potential to live with another greyhound or larger size dog, providing introductions are carried out.  He could also be an only dog if he had company for part of the day.  He would make a great family pet, he is a real gentle boy just wanting to please his owner.   Gunner could live with children over the age of 8 years.
