Hunter 250880 - 3

Dog ID:  250880    Sex:  Male    Age:  7 Years old

You’ve come a long way, baby! That’s what my foster thinks about me. I’m Hunter, I’m 7 years old and I weigh 70 pounds. When I got to TGRR, I was pretty much shut down and afraid of anything new. But now that I’ve lived in a happy home as a pet with other doggies to learn from, I’ve blossomed!

I love people! Who knew? People give pets and treats and attention and all sorts of good things. What’s not to like? I’m an energetic 7-year-old and I am ready to play!

I’m still kinda iffy on the whole car riding experience. I may need to be boosted or picked up to get in because I’m not sure what adventure we might be headed for. I’m getting better at this because most of the time our car adventures lead to good things, like walking the Greenway, which I love!

So yeah, I do get along with other dogs mostly but I’m not completely trustworthy when it comes to sharing yet. They call what I do “resource guarding,” and I used to do it a lot with treats and toys but I’m learning that there’s enough to go around for everyone. Foster Mom even gave us special bones the other day and I did great! I would do well in a family with other dogs for me to play with, as long as you know I might need corrections for the guarding thing.

I’ve not been around cats or little kids, so I don’t know about them, but I’ve played with the teenagers I’ve met.

I crate easily and don’t act up in the crate when you have to leave me. I do pull on the leash, but I’m getting lots better at that too.

So I’m kind of a work in progress but look how far I’ve come already! Hopefully you have what it takes to make me into the perfect dog!
