Gunner is a 1-year-old Rottweiler in Laura, OH, who needs $1,200 for Leg Amputation.

Gunner has been the light of our lives since he has lived with our family. Gunner was a surprise after the unexpected loss of our previous dog who was only 18 months old. We weren't sure that we were ready for another dog as the loss was so recent but, after meeting Gunner, I knew that he was exactly what our hearts needed.

Gunner is the most handsome couch surfer one could imagine. He loves taking naps on the couch or just sitting on the couch looking out the window watching the world. He is not much for snuggling but loves human contact. If he isn't touching you, then then you must be too far away! His favorite thing to do is give "hugs" by resting his body against you or leaning his forehead against your leg.

Gunner's favorite toys are the toys are usually the ones that someone else is playing with- it's all about being involved with everyone else. He loves his arms rubbed, but if you ask if he is ticklish, those arms suddenly disappear and now he is ready to play keep away with his arms. But, Gunner's most favorite thing in life would be people. A dog that knows no stranger and gives everyone love.

In the early morning of Nov 29, 2022 Gunner was hit by a truck on our rural road while walking beside our neighbor. He suffered some lung injuries, extensive road rash, a laceration to his front leg and a broken right rear leg. Gunner needs a steel plate to correct the broken leg, but due to financial strains thus far, our only option is to amputate the broken leg that is not healing with a splint

Due to my full-time student status pursuing and financing my degree as a Respiratory Therapist, raising four boys and Gunner's unexpected injuries, the financial burden placed on by boyfriend has exceeded our capabilities.
