Meet Gunner – The Gentle Giant Who Survived the Desert

When Gunner was found wandering alone in the Arizona desert, he was nothing but skin and bones—his ribs visible, his eyes pleading for help. Despite everything he’d been through, his tail still wagged when someone finally stopped for him. Originally, another rescue had planned to take him in, but when they backed out at the last minute, Gunner showed up at our door—and of course, we opened our hearts and our gates. ❤️

Today, this stunning Great Dane weighs about 130 pounds and could still use another 8–10 pounds to fill out to his ideal weight. He’s a sweet, playful, people-loving boy who adores other dogs and enjoys attention, affection, and being part of the pack. Gunner is dog friendly, social, and active, but he’s also gentle and grateful for every soft bed and kind hand that’s come his way.

Because we don’t have any history of him with small children, a home without young toddlers is recommended. Great Dane experience is a plus—someone who understands their size, heart, and need for companionship.

Gunner is ready for a fresh start, a family who will never let him go hungry or alone again. Could that be you?
