The subject matter under consideration involves an entity at a municipal animal care facility, where “Gunner” functions as a proper noun, specifically the name assigned to an animal residing within the Denton animal shelter. This identifier is used to distinguish this particular animal from others in the shelter’s care, facilitating tracking, record-keeping, and communication regarding its well-being and adoption prospects. For instance, information regarding Gunner’s breed, age, medical history, and temperament would be filed under this name.
The proper identification of animals within a shelter environment is crucial for effective management and positive outcomes. Assigning names like “Gunner” allows staff and potential adopters to connect with individual animals on a more personal level, potentially increasing their chances of finding a suitable home. Furthermore, consistent use of a unique identifier ensures accurate record-keeping related to vaccinations, treatments, and behavioral observations, which are all essential for providing appropriate care and making informed adoption decisions. This system supports the shelter’s mission of providing humane care and finding permanent homes for animals in need.
