We've put together a day of thoughtful ways to remember and celebrate his life:

🎨 Free Gunner stickers to take home (while supplies last)
🖍️ Gunner coloring pages to add to his memorial wall
📸 A curated collection of photos and videos from his life on display
✍️ A memorial wall to leave your own notes, photos, and memories
🛍️ 20% off all otter merchandise

Whether Gunner made you smile on your very first visit or you've been following his story from afar, May 31st is a chance to come together and pay tribute to a very special otter.
