Hunter/Rusty 07-653 [1]

Hunter/Rusty came from a full shelter in Sioux City, Iowa along with two friends he was found roaming the streets with. He and Mandy 07-652 look like brother and sister. They both have reddish/gold coats, are fine boned and have flesh-colored noses and hazel eyes. Hunter seems to be the alpha male of the pack, marking his spots with determination outside and leading any social contact. He is a very outgoing 1-2 year old male, gregarious and intelligent. However, he is quiet in his crate unless there's a lot of stimulation and sleeps well through the night.  He is a little possessive about food and water, probably because he is so starved, so I feed him separately. He craves personal attention and touch and went on a two mile walk today and was very good on the lead. Hunter has been to the vet. He is underweight at about 48 lbs, but is otherwise healthy. He was neutered on Tuesday and has been perky and ready to go since. Hunter does know 'sit' and has not had any accidents in the house. Hunter is a very affectionate dog that needs an active, loving home and reassurance that he is safe.
