This handsome 6 year old dog is Hunter, and he is looking for his forever home! Hunter is a goofy guy who LOVES to spend his time zooming around in our fenced in play yard, either with his human friends or with another dog. Don`t let his chunky little body fool you - he is more athletic than he looks! Hunter can be nervous of people that he does not know, but warms up quickly with a few snacks. He would do best in a home with teens and older who will give him the space that he needs to get comfortable. He would not be a good fit for an apartment with shared hallways, as he likes to greet his friends by shouting his excitment to see them. If you are interested in adding this silly guy to your family, stop by our Dedham shelter!
Hunter is currently up to date on all vaccinations, has been spayed/neutered, microchipped and been seen by our vet team.
For more information on Hunter or any other animal currently residing at the Animal Rescue League of Boston, please call us at 617-426-9170. We welcome adopters from NH, RI, CT, and NY. However, we will be unable to facilitate same day adoptions due to state regulated paperwork requirements. Also, be sure to check out our:
