WATCH MY VIDEO...Sometimes the sweetest dogs are the ones who need a little extra time to discover that they are safe. Hunter is a 1 year old German Shepherd mix who came to us from another shelter. His former shelter described him as a very sweet, social, and friendly boy, and we have quickly seen that same gentle personality shine through. Once Hunter feels comfortable, he is all about love, affection, and being close to his people. This handsome boy can be a little shy in new situations. The world outside his kennel can feel a bit overwhelming right now, and he is still learning that walks can be fun adventures. Hunter is comfortable strolling around the kennel area, but he needs some patience and encouragement to explore farther. Sometimes he needs a little extra help, including being carried, while he builds his confidence. But once Hunter realizes you are his friend, his happy personality comes out. He loves being petted, gives wonderful kisses, and will happily soak up all the attention he can get. He has perfected the adorable `puppy dog eyes` look to convince you that he definitely deserves more treats and more cuddles. He loves belly rubs, takes treats gently, and may even try to climb into your lap for extra love. Hunter is looking for a family who will be patient with him, help him gain confidence, and show him that the world is a wonderful place. In return, he promises to be a loyal companion with a gentle heart, a sweet personality, and plenty of love to give. If you have room in your heart for a dog who just needs someone to believe in him, Hunter may be the perfect match. Come meet this sweet boy and help him learn that he is finally home.
