Gunner is a 7-year-old English Mastiff in Pinellas Park, FL, who needs $2,000 for Ulna Ostectomy.

It was recommended my grandsons get a therapy dog as kids with traumatic past/situation been known to help. We got Gunner at 8 week's old. He is a English Mastiff & Tibetan Mastiff mix. We immediately started him in private training sessions as he was to be a service dog. He also is great therapy for the boys. He has calmed them down alot.

Gunner has been a big help in calming the boys down. I got the boys June 2021 out of state foster. The youngest drowned in thier care. 4 round cpr saved his life. Gunner has definitely improved these boys life. Gunner lays by them wherever they are. I have videos of Jordan training Gunner, so it was teaching both of them lessons. Gunner is such a good boy, everyone he meets comments of how he is.

Gunner has passed 2 puppy classes and also has his AKC S.T.A.R . certificate. He was in his junior class and preparing for next step in training when this all hit. Even with all the changes he kept his goofy loving demeanor. He loves to play catch and tug of war. And to swim with the boys. He also sleeps with the boys nightly, they love it.

I work atGateway Animal Hospital. Gunner goes to work with me, my boss has seen him several times a week. When that weekend he changed drastically I took him to work that morning and straight to the doctor. We were all shocked to see it. We did sedated xrays and sent off to Radiologist. Took him to Dr Oakes Orthopedic vet. Tampa Bay Veterinary Specialist . Now trying to raise funds to save him.

If Gunner doesn't get this surgery he will have to be euthanized as he is in pain. These boys are so attached to him and have already lost parents, I hate the thought of them losing thier puppy. I am a single grandmother trying to maintain a house with 2 small boys alone.
