Hi I'm Hunter and I am on the HUNT for my forever home after being brought to WAG as a stray. I am a very sad boy as I was used to living in a home but my old owner didn't come back to claim me so I need to start all over again. I have recently been to Pemberton Vet for a general health checkup and to make sure my vaccines were up to date. Whilst there they also investigated an old injury affecting one of my back legs, to advise further action on that so my quality of life can improve with a plan moving forward. XRAY's showed that I have a left CrCL tear and also quite possibly a right partial CrCL tear too. The radiographs were sent to our specialist at Points East West and surgery was recommeded on one leg to start with, to allow me to return to my previous healthy active lifestyle. However as I am a high energy active dog, I will not be impressed about needing downtime in order to recover post surgery and insure its success. The humans are working out the details at the moment, including fundraising for the cost of the initial expensive first TPLO surgery and all of my aftercare needs. In the meantime I have been prescribed a pain medication and antiflammatory to help me feel better.

Now we've got the serious stuff out of the way, would you like to get to know me better? Of course you do! I am a big lovebug with a kind soul, I adore cuddles, kisses and being around the staff. It's fun when I go out for walks with my friends at the shelter and am working on my loose leash skills and learning not to jump up when I am extra excited. I'm verrrry strong and keen to chase squirrels in the woods on occasion. I have also shown a little too much interest in the cats at the shelter so I should be adopted into a home with no small animals. I seem to quite like dogs, but havn't had the chance to play with the other residents as I needed the all clear from the vet first due to my leg and unknown recent vaccine status.

I have made lots of friends at WAG, and although my heatbreaking arrival wasn't planned and prepared for, WAG can't wait to help me find a new home and recieve the life changing specalist injury treatment I deserve. Having been turned away by other organisations - I am being given a second chance via WAG's Critical Care Program.

This fund (made possible via donations from their generous supporters) enables WAG to help those who have nowhere else to turn. Sadly this means occasionally animals from elsewhere are abandoned in this jurisdiction due to desperation that can come from becoming unhoused and personal circumstances changing.

After already being rehomed once due to no fault of my own, what I REALLY need next is a stable home committed to me and ready to give me a life with love and adventure for the rest of my years, who will be procative with my health and understanding of my recent instability. Some basic training with a WAG approved positive reinforcement trainer might be beneficial whilst I brush up on my previous skills.

Hunter simply can't wait to get out of the shelter and back onto a couch! If you think he'd complete your family and you are able to help him through his health problems then what are you waiting for?! Scroll down and fill in an application form today.....
