Gunnar was born into this world part of an unwanted litter. His mom wasn’t spayed because her owners couldn’t afford it.
When she gave birth to Gunnar and his siblings, the owner had enough and cruelly cast them all out. The mom was sent away as well as the siblings, but Gunnar was left behind and abandoned on the property. No one understands why.

Can you imagine how scared Gunnar must’ve been? His entire family was given away and he had no idea where they went, why he was alone and what to do… to say this was heartless is a vast understatement!

The tiny puppy was struggling to survive all on his own. The piece of bread he carried was bigger than him! But thankfully he was found by Sidewalk Specials who brought him to Vet Point.
He immediately had a medical exam that revealed ticks and fleas. He was also infested with worms. Because of this, Gunnar was severely anemic and needed iron infusions.

The little guy got the necessary medical attention he needed. The staff fell in love with little Gunnar along with his strong and very happy spirit. They placed him a safe, comfy kennel and gave him a good meal.

They had to focus on getting him healthy and keeping him comfortable until he was old enough to be adopted.
And guess what! Gunnar found the perfect home! His new mom absolutely adores him! He loves to play fetch and Mom gladly throws the ball in the yard. Look at how happy he is!

Gunnar found happiness but many dogs still wait in shelters and in foster homes. They don’t have their forever family yet.
Please remind others of the importance of animal adoption. If we keep supporting breeders, then all these wonderful animals will continue to be overlooked.
