About Hunter

Meet Hunter, a delightful 5-year-old who’s back and ready for a second chance. This sweet boy has a joyful spirit and loves the company of his people. He’s dog-friendly and gets along well with cats, making him a great fit for a multi-pet household. However, Hunter does require a specific living situation.
