Owner Info: Gunner is an adorable puppy who is deaf and visually-impaired (his owners were told he has an eye anomaly and his retinas are abnormal).  His owners are not able to provide the training and safe surroundings that Gunner needs due to their life situation, so they are hoping for rescue placement for sweet Gunner.  They write, "We love Gunner and would like to find him a home that is a better fit." Gunner is an outdoor dog with a fenced yard, he is not yet housebroken or leash trained.  He is also working on "sit" and "down"!  Gunner is good with adults and he's wonderful with their two children, ages 5 and 3.  He has not been around other dogs or cats.  He is not possessive of toys, treats, or food and has never shown any aggression.    His owner writes, "I think that he adapts well. I have noticed that as long as I am touching him or petting him, the transition is much easier. Gunner is very lovey. So as long as he is loved, he will be fine".   They add that he is a great dog!
