Here at the shelter they have named me Gunther. I’m a 5-year-old pit bull mix who came to the SPCA on March 31. Do you know what Gunther means? My name means warrior. They are calling me brave and courageous because I entered the shelter with my sister when my parents couldn’t take care of us anymore. For a while we were paired together, which made things easier, but my sister was lucky enough to find a new home before me. As if the shelter wasn’t unfamiliar and scary enough, I was now alone. Volunteers and staff gave me extra attention until I finally decided I was safe enough to start eating again. With medical treatment, extra nutrition, and TLC I have gained all of my weight back. I am a staff favorite. I walk nicely on a leash. I know how to sit, lay down, and touch. When I am in the front office I just want to be cuddled and loved. Maybe one day my sister and I will meet again, but until then, will you be my new family?
