Meet Hunter! Hunter is approximately 1.5 year old, 47 lbs currently and he may have some Shepherd in his mix. He was found as a stray running loose at a wildlife refuge in the south. In his southern foster home, he is doing great with his important life skills like house training, crate training and leash walking. He could go to a home with other dogs, dog-savvy cats and kids 10+.
His foster says, "Hunter is a wonderful pup!! He loves attention and getting petted! He thinks he's a lap dog.He loves to play with the other dogs. He does not care for an overly playful puppy. But he does very well with a bigger dog that's older. He needs a fenced in yard as he loves to be outside with all the pup toys and sun himself! We spend a lot of time outside and he loves that. Hunter is learning all the important stuff like potty training, crate training, keeping 4 paws on the floor, and leash training. He does have an accident from time to time but is almost potty trained. The crate training is going well. He sleeps in the crate at night with a night light. I think he might be a little scared of the dark. He will bark a little bit but settles down after a few minutes. He is still learning to keep 4 paws on the floor. And for that reason I think he would do awesome with a 10 or older kid! He might accidentally scare a smaller child. He loves to go on walks and does very well with the leash!! He also does well in public. Very good at vets office and he's been to Tractor Supply a few times and loved it! He's getting used to car rides. He just lays in the seat like a good boy! He has been around my cat and chases him for fun. So he would do well with a dog savvy cat! Hunter has been a joy to foster! He has a lot of love to give and will make a great addition to someone's family."
