Meet Gunter, affectionately known as Gunny—a beautiful, purebred Golden Retriever boy with a heart as golden as his coat. 🥰
Gunny was born with a cleft palate, but don’t let that fool you—this little guy is a determined fighter who has already overcome so much! At just 5 pounds, he still has plenty of growing to do, and he’s ready to take on the world one little paw at a time. 🐾
Gunny is fully weaned and enjoys his flash-soaked kibble and has mastered drinking from a water bottle. His progress has been nothing short of amazing! 💙
He’s looking for a very special family who understands that his cleft palate makes him a little different and is willing to continue giving him the love, patience, and care he deserves.
Before heading to his forever home, Gunny will be microchipped, fecal tested, current on heartworm prevention, and up to date on age-appropriate vaccinations.

💔 He was brought to the vet to be euthanized… simply because his owner was moving.
Let that sink in for a moment.
How do you look into the eyes of a sweet, trusting dog and decide that his life is no longer worth saving because your circumstances have changed?
How does a dog who has spent his life loving his person suddenly become disposable?
Thankfully, Mugsy Maplebottom’s story didn’t end in that veterinary clinic. ❤️
Please welcome this precious 4-year-old, barely 20-pound little boy to Texas Cleft Pup Rescue. Mugsy has a cleft palate, and it appears he may have spent much of his life outside and without the care he deserved. We don’t know everything he has been through yet—but we know he deserves so much better.
And Mugsy? He is sweet. He is gentle. He has already met his foster family’s Frenchie girls and is settling in like the good boy he is. 🥹
His first experience with air conditioning was absolutely priceless… “This is niiiiiice!” 🥰
Now our job begins.
We need to get Mugsy to the veterinarian for a complete evaluation, get some much-needed nutrition into his little body.
