Hunter has previously been featured as our Pet Of The Week and he is still waiting for the right person, family, or ranch owner to adopt him from the Humane Society's Pets Fur People in Tyler, Texas. He is eager and ready to begin working for a family or around livestock. He is a working dog after all and he's ready to put his skills to work.

Hunter also has a fun, energetic, and outgoing personality too. He's looking for an active family that will play fetch with him and let him run around in their big backyard too.

During his time at Pets Fur People in Tyler, he's maintained his weight and weighs about fifty pounds. In addition to being active, Hunter enjoys chasing livestock, so if you have livestock he likes to engage them and do his cattle dog thing. Gayle Helms, executive director of Pets Fur People also feels like Hunter should be the only pet in the house.

Hunter has been neutered, is current on starting vaccinations, including rabies, and has been microchipped for identification purposes. Seeing how he's a young guy still and has some excess energy to burn off, Hunter would thrive as a member of an active family. Hunter will go home with a starter kit of food, a collar and leash, and a certificate for half-price basic obedience training from Tyler Obedience Training Club.

For additional information on adopting Hunter call 903.597.2471 or check the Humane Society’s Pets Fur People website. Pets Fur People requires a completed adoption application before a meet and greet can be arranged. Check out the animals that are available for adoption. Adoption hours are Tuesday through Saturday 10 am until 5 pm - closed for lunch 1-2 pm. The Humane Society’s Pets Fur People is the only brick-and-mortar no-kill shelter in East Texas. Pets Fur People offers routine vaccinations, except for rabies, to the public for dogs and cats. Follow Pets Fur People on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Please be a responsible pet owner - spay or neuter your pets. Donations are appreciated.
