My foster writes: 🐾 Meet Hunter! Your Loyal, Fun-Loving Future Best Friend! 🐾
​Looking for a devoted sidekick who will love you with his whole heart? Meet Hunter (ID #263298)!
​Hunter is a sweet, playful, and wonderfully attentive boy who forms deep, lasting bonds with his humans. Once he knows you, you'll never feel lonely again! Whether he's patiently watching you cook dinner, escorting you down the hall, or standing guard while you take a shower, Hunter is always right there by your side, ready to be your ultimate shadow and loyal companion.
​Here's what makes Hunter so special:
​🎾 Fetch Enthusiast: Hunter is high-energy, playful, and absolutely loves a good game of fetch or catch! A home with a yard where he can stretch his legs and play to his heart's content would be a dream come true.
​🧠 Smart & Eager to Please: He's already got great manners and responds wonderfully to cues like sit, down, stop, and wait. He walk-settles nicely on leash and is super treat-motivated, making training sessions fun and rewarding.
​💤 Great Houseguest: When you're away, Hunter is a total gentleman who mostly loves to nap and relax around the home.
​💖 Sweet & Protective: Hunter has a big heart and loves deeply. He has bonded beautifully with the 9-year-old in his foster home and loves being part of a family routine.
​Hunter's Dream Home:
Hunter is a larger, strong boy who doesn't always realize his own size-he's a big fan of affectionate lean-ins and gentle bumps! Because of his energetic play style and size, he would do best in a home with older kids or teens. Hunter prefers to be the center of your universe, so he would shine brightest as the only pet in a home with an experienced owner who can continue his positive-reinforcement treat training during daily walks.
​If you are looking for a handsome, fun, and fiercely loyal companion to share your life and adventures with, Hunter is ready to meet you! Give this good boy the loving forever home he truly deserves. 🐶❤️

What my friends at ACC say about me:

I can go home today!

I would appreciate slow introductions to new people and places to help me feel safe.

I will need daily physical activity to keep me healthy and happy!

A volunteer writes: Yes, this is one big guy! However, do not be fooled by his size. Hunter is as lovely and charming as can be. He comes out of his kennel carefully, ready for a good walk. And it's a great walk. Hunter strides along at a fairly good pace, but he is very respectful of his companion's needs. Although Hunter is not crazy about other dogs, he more or less minds his own business. While taking a break on a bench, Hunter comes over regularly for attention and pets. He is rather sweet and gentle. Come meet Hunter at Manhattan ACC.
