An update from this sweet boys foster mom is below!! He is available for adoption, and let me tell you that whoever gets this boy, well they’re going to truly get a man’s best friend kind of dog!!
“His teeth get me every single time 💀💀
This snuggle bug is still looking for his forever home!
Hunter is almost at his weight loss goal, and he’s looking great!!
Based on his fur type and build, we believe him to be mixed with a slightly bigger dog breed. He has mostly excess fur and loose skin left, and he is meeting all the markers on the body condition score for ideal weight🥹 We believe he will likely hover around the 90-100 # area, but has lost most of his excess fat and built muscle. 😎 He no longer has to be on any specific diet, just sticking to his low cal kibble.
He has learned to do so many things recently including:
-Get himself out of the car unassisted (he is still working on jumping into it, but knows how to “help” you guide him in, he just needs a little boost!).
-He used to be TERRIFIED of cars. For reference, sweet boy was abandoned for 2 weeks and was outside, likely dodging cars on the road. When he came to me, even the sound of a car unlocking would make him shake like a leaf. But now is unbothered!
-He is pretty good for car rides. He will ride in the backseat or the hatchback. He pants/drools a little but is otherwise completely unbothered.
-Mastered the stairs, both carpet and hardwood.
-Is starting to play! When my dog gets excited, he also gets excited and occasionally tries to wrestle. He sometimes digs through the toy bin and gets toys out.
-Started kennel training! Since the beginning, he wasn’t a fan of it but would get in with minimal whimpering for 5 minutes then settles in fine. Usually, I have to physically guide him in but this week I got him to go in on his own with verbal cues!
Absolutely loves dogs and kids. He interacts great with high energy dogs who like to play and is also just fine with slower energy dogs, he adapts well. He was previously in a home with dogs and kids and is very gentle around them. Hes estimated to be 4 years old!
He is as loyal as they come and has so much love to give. He would make the perfect family dog, as he’s low maintenance and loves being around others. He just likes to be involved!”
