About Hunter

What are you waiting for? Apply today! Hunter brought excitement and joy to the bark park, embracing every moment with the playful enthusiasm you’d expect from a Black Labrador Retriever. His highlight was the wading pool, where, despite the shallow water, he splashed with unbridled energy, inventing new swimming techniques and delighting in the simple pleasures of water play. One of Hunter’s favorite games is to search for hotdog treats at the bottom of the pool, showing off impressive retrieval skills and his keen hunter’s instincts. At just 1 ½ years old, Hunter demonstrates both respect and attentiveness with spontaneous, polite sits and displays an affectionate tendency to stay close to people. Hunter, a medium-sized 49-pound companion, will be the perfect co-pilot on adventures—whether headed to the lake, a road trip, or even just the local drive-thru.
