If Hunter had a catchphrase, it'd be: "Go big or go home." This happy, goofy guy brings full-on enthusiasm to everything he does-whether it's fetch, snuggles, or zoomies in the yard. Hunter is smart, social, and never short on opinions (or entertainment). He's always ready for the next adventure and has a real talent for making people laugh.

He's crate-trained, housebroken, and a big fan of enrichment-snuffle mats, puzzle toys, frozen Kongs, rope toys-you name it, he's into it. Hunter also happens to be a world-class cuddler who will happily turn himself into a weighted blanket if you sit still long enough.

He's still working on his leash manners and can get pretty amped about cars, bikes, joggers, and squirrels. But with structure, positive reinforcement, and someone who enjoys a little training time, he's more than ready to keep learning.

Hunter previously lived with another dog, and while they had some disagreements over food and toys, he also did well in doggy daycare. With a proper introduction and some management (like feeding separately), he might enjoy having a canine sibling. He hasn't lived with cats, and kids should be 8+ and dog-savvy.

At the end of the day, Hunter is just a fun-loving guy who's eager for a home that can match his energy, appreciate his quirks, and give him the love-and belly rubs-he deserves. If you're ready for a companion who's equal parts goofball, cuddlebug, and best friend, Hunter is ready to meet you.

Important Notice: A “meet and greet” with any existing dogs in your home is required, supervised by our team in our play areas. We encourage bringing your family and current dogs, especially if traveling from afar. Cats are not required for a meet and greet.

Adoption Hours: Daily 12-5PM, closed Wednesdays. No appointment needed, unless the dog or cat is in foster! Apply and then call us at 317-773-4974 to set up a meet and greet with an pet in foster care.

Not Quite Ready To Adopt?

You can make an immeasurable impact by opening your home and your heart to an animal in need. Fostering is a great opportunity to introduce a pet into your home without making a lifelong commitment. Many of our foster humans end up adopting their fostered animals, but many also choose to just provide the temporary shelter and love our animals need to get through a trying time.
