My name is 25-087 Hunter!

Hunter is a fun-loving, 6 month-old 49 pound shepherd mix pup. This brave and curious pup is always ready for a new adventure—whether it’s splashing in puddles, exploring the toy box, or romping with his doggie friends. He’s also a big fan of people and loves to be right in the middle of the action.

Don’t let his playful side fool you though—after a day of fun, Hunter is a champion snuggler who happily curls up for quiet time. He sleeps soundly through the night and has already mastered the doggie door, which makes him extra easy to live with. Did we mention he has a very high doggy IQ?  Sit, down, shake...he is getting them all!

Because he’s still a growing pup, Hunter would thrive in a home that enjoys both activity and downtime. He’d be happiest with a fenced yard to explore, another friendly dog to play with, or an active family who will include him in daily adventures. He’s the kind of pup who will grow into a loyal companion, always ready for a hike, a car ride, or a cuddle on the couch.

Hunter is the perfect mix of playful and affectionate—ready to bring joy, laughter, and love to his forever family.
