Description:

Meet Gunther, a charming 70-pound gentleman with a heart as big as his paws! This sweet senior is ready to find his forever home where he can spend his golden years in comfort and love. Polite and well-mannered, Gunther is a a breeze on a leash and enjoys leisurely walks filled with lots of sniffing. When he’s not exploring, he’s happiest napping on his cozy bed or gently placing his head in your lap to ask for ear scratches—a request you’ll find hard to resist. Gunther is completely house trained and asks politely if he needs to go out, but usually is all set with two 20-30 minutewalks in the morning and evening

Gunther is still healthy for his age, taking just a joint supplement to stay comfortable, though he has a bit of trouble with stairs and would thrive in a home with easy access to the main floor. He’s looking for a quiet, routine-oriented household where he can be the only dog or share his space with a calm, senior-friendly canine companion. His experience with cats is unknown, but his laid-back demeanor suggests he could adjust well.

Gunther is the perfect example of senior-dog serenity—he doesn’t jump, isn’t possessive of toys or food, and has a calm, gentle personality. If you’ve ever loved a senior dog, you know the joy and gratitude they bring to your life. Gunther is ready to fill your home with that same love and become the loyal companion you’ve been searching for.

When you adopt a pet from Midwest Animal Rescue and Services, your adoption fee covers: Microchip and registration, Core Vaccines including Rabies, Distemper and bordetella, age appropriate heartworm testing or FeLV-FIV testing, sterilization, heartworm/flea-tick prevention and deworming while in foster care.

Long Distance Adoptions: Animals who are not fully vaccinated and altered are not eligible for long distance adoption. We require a meet of the pet prior to adoption, which means coming to MARS. We do not transport to potential adopters.

Adoption fees are non-negotiable and can be paid by cashier's check, money order or credit card. We do not accept personal checks.

Post Adoption: Any issues that arise after adoption are the full responsibility of the adopter after the finalization of adoption. We highly recommend Pet Insurance. Adoption fees are only part of the expense of owning a pet, so we ask you to consider the costs for the life of the pet before adoption. We recommend pet insurance.

Pet Breeds: The pet you are viewing is a rescued pet which is most often from an animal control facility or Shelter partner. The breed(s) listed are our best guess and are in no way guaranteed.

If you choose to DNA test your adopted pet, test results may vary from company to company and our breed guess may not be reflected in those results as it is just that, our best guess without knowing a pet’s full history.
