Hunter had a wonderful loving home until his mom fell on to hard times. She is heartbroken, but it’s in Hunter’s best interest to re-home him.
Here is her story….”My daughter was born about a year ago. At 3.5 months she was diagnosed with a rare brain condition. She had two brain surgeries and spent two months in the hospital. I am a single mom and now am dealing with two hour drives to her specialists at a hospital far from us, her therapies, and all her special needs. We didn’t anticipate any of this. I am dealing with postpartum depression on top of all the stress and anxiety from my daughter’s hospital stay and ICU stay. I had to leave my ex due to an abusive situation and now we are in an apartment.”
Hunter, my daughter and I left and are safe now. However, I am now a single mom to a special needs child. I have no support from her father and I am struggling to make ends meet. While my heart is breaking, I need to find Hunter a new furever home. I know I need to do what is best for him. And what is best for him is a home that has a yard for him to run around in, people who can take him for many walks and play with him.
This is what she says about Hunter….Hunter, a black lab, is a three year old male. I rescued him when he was six months old from FHDR. He is very shy, mainly from anxiety and fear of people, but he is extremely friendly once he gets to sniff you. He is excellent with kids and babies. He has ALWAYS been happy and playful with my daughter. He is good with other animals too and plays well with other dogs and cats. He needs a lot of room to run around and he misses that. Hunter needs someone who can give him all their love and attention. He is house trained, up to date on shots and he is neutered. He is very much on the calm side, likes to sleep all day. He needs a home where he will not be crated. He walks well on leash (harness) and does not pull. Hunter loves cuddles, kisses, hugs, belly rubs.”
We listed Hunter as a special needs pup because he needs a home that has the patience to make him feel comfortable and can spend time teaching him he is safe. We are sure if you adopt Hunter, he will be a devoted, loving companion. He just needs the right person to call his own.
If you have a furever home for this pet, please e-mail FHDR@att.net and request an adoption application.
Furever Home Dog Rescue is an all-volunteer group located in Randolph dedicated to finding furever homes for dogs in high kill shelters that will be euthanized because there is no room at the shelter. All their pups are vetted, temperament tested and placed in foster homes before adoption.
