Gunnar is a 8-year-old Doberman in Crossville, TN, who needs $2,000 for Mast Cell Tumor Removal.

Gunnar came into our lives on St. Patrick's Day of 2016. He was 7 months old at the time and an acquaintance was attempting to rehome him. We jumped at the chance to adopt this beautiful boy and he's done nothing but enhance our lives and fill our home with love ever since.

Gunnar is the best good boy anyone could ever ask for. He is so smart, and so loving, and so gentle and calm. He is the best brother to his fur-sister, Bella. They love to play and run on the trails beside our house. His favorite thing to do is to snuggle up with his dad every evening when he gets home from work.

Gunnar loves to run and play. He loves to "talk" to other dogs that pass by our house, and he loves to "sing" about his favorite fur friends when their names are mentioned, or when he sees them. He loves chicken and cheese and his daily dog treats, and he loves to go "bye bye" for car rides.

In February 2024 Gunnar was diagnosed with a mast cell tumor on his neck. The vet assured us surgery is the only option. The surgery to remove the tumor, and additional medications, will cost around $2300 to $2500.

With the current state of the economy, and after struggling financially after Covid, we simply do not have the financial ability to provide this surgery on our own. We would give anything to have Gunnar back to his old playful self and free from pain again.
