Adopt Gunner

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

Gunner is a lovely boy who is in need of a home. He’s good with children and dogs but can be jumpy and plays hard with other dogs so being the only animal and older children would be best (16+). He’s learnt some commands but will benefit from more training. He’s super smart and learns quickly too. He walks well once the excitement has worn off. He can be nervy so a home experienced with this is best. We are told he is a full German Shepherd but has some Belgian Malinois traits so we wouldn’t be surprised if he has some Mali in him too. Donations towards his care can be made via Paypal to or via bank transfer to Chesterfield Animal Rescue, Sort Code 20-20-50 Account Number 93038009. I get on well with other dogs I’m house trained, no indoor accidents from me I still need some help with basic training… but I am a quick learner! I’m well behaved with the youngsters (see posts for age specifics) I am a fast learner and will need to be kept busy and stimulated. If you think you can offer Gunner the home they deserve then fill in the form below and we'll be in touch as soon as possible. Thank you

About Gunner

What life with Gunner looks like

Gunner is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Chesterfield Animal Rescue in United Kingdom.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇬🇧Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Gunner, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Gunner?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Chesterfield Animal Rescue handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Gunner on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Gunner if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Chesterfield Animal Rescue will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Gunner already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Gunner isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Chesterfield Animal Rescue early rather than rehoming privately; they know Gunner and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
