About Hunter

Meet Hunter! This handsome Belgian Malinois is just 2 years old and found his way to us from an open admission shelter after being surrendered without cause. Hunter seeks an active and breed-savvy home that can cater to the unique needs of a Malinois and help him thrive. He bonds quickly with his humans and is very in tune with commands. Hunter gets along well with other dogs but would prefer a female dog companion; he is tolerant of male dogs. He hasn't been around cats, so how he would interact with them is unknown. Hunter enjoys outdoor activities like playing, walking, and hiking, and he walks well on a leash around both people and other dogs. He is house trained and handles being in a kennel or crate with ease. If you believe you can provide Hunter with the loving home he deserves, please fill out an adoption application!
