Additional Details:

Hunter is a 75lb deep red male that has had a successful racing career and was a finalist in a stakes race!! His birthday is Nov 5th and his sire is the famous Flying Hydrogen. He has lived in a home before so is already home acclimated and has good house manners! Hunter is very calm and laid back but still enjoys playing. Don't let Hunter's sad eyes in his photo fool you, he is a very happy, loving, outgoing boy that craves attention. His foster home says "lives for love". If you want a dog that wants to stay close and is always happy to see you, Hunter could be your boy. He was returned after about a year because his owner developed life threatening health problems that prevented him from caring for a pet. Although Hunter lived in a townhouse with his previous owner, he can be a little vocal sometimes in his crate. We don't think he will be a good choice for a townhouse or apartment unless his new owner is home with him all the time like his previous owner was. Hunter needs rules and boundaries set and will quickly obey because he wants to please. He thrives in that type of situation and just wants and needs to know what you want him to do. Hunter loves kids but does tend to over react when it comes to play or a perceived threat, so we think he would do better actually living in a home with no kids. Hunter likes other dogs and but can get too rough very quickly so needs to be placed as an only dog. He was an only dog in his first home and was fine with that. Hunter passed his initial cat test but he did try to chase a cat in one of his foster homes so has had mixed results. Hunter can be protective of his home and space with strangers so would need a quiet home that doesn't have a lot of guests.
