UPDATE 9/1/23 Adopted
After spending a few minutes with Gunner in a larger area shelter play-yard, I took him off the leash (staying close by to help him) and he maneuvered through the kiddy pool, around an old tree stump and a few other big obstacles in the yard. He lightly bumped into the fence. I was talking to him as he walked, to reassure him I was there, and was ready to put him back on leash. Gunner walked slowly, sniffing all the many smells in the play yard and did fine. Gunner enjoys life and is quite the cute character with his short tan and white legs, round body with the interesting Rhodesian Ridgback stripe down his whole back and his darling face. What a love. Gunner is hoping for a home (probably without many stairs, and few surprises) who appreciates his loving spirit and can accommodate his blindness.
"GUNNER" is Available for adoption at Multnomah County Animal Services!

Hey there! My name is Gunner and I am an adult male Rottie [Ridgeback] mix. Since I am blind, when going to pet me please do your best not to make sudden movements that may startle me. I am known to be scared of loud noises, but once I know who is coming up to me I will be your best friend! I might need a little more guidance on walks than most dogs, but that's just because I'm a special boy. When I'm excited, I get super wiggly and jumpy because I can't wait to hang out with you. My new potential family should know that because I am blind and startle easy in unfamiliar settings, I will need time to get to know my surroundings when you take me home! I would probably do best in a household with no young kids, but I do get along well with other doggies. I love to go on walks, and helping me lose a few pounds wouldn't hurt! If you are seeking a silly friend to keep you company through your life and are ready for the happiness a blind dog can bring you then please come say hi :)
ps - it would be fun to do a Canine DNA test for Gunner
Gunner has a full back "Ridge"
