About Hunter

Hunter is a big, striking young dog with black and white markings and a gentle expression—a pit bull and hound mix whose personality stands out from the start. At just over a year old, he’s already neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped, so he’s ready to move right in. Hunter appreciates structure and consistency. He’s happiest in homes without cats and does better as the only dog or with careful introductions to select companions. Hunter adores children and thrives when he’s part of a family’s routine. While he still needs help with house training, he’s already comfortable in a kennel and has a good foundation for continued learning. His energy is balanced—he’s social and affectionate, but not a “pack” dog. If you want a loyal, funny companion who fits in best as the center of attention, Hunter might be right for you.
