Let me introduce to you Mr. Hunter (10-371). Hunter arrived in MN late Sunday night along with his mother Anna (10-368), and his siblings Parker and Lola. Hunter was rescued from a puppy mill in IA that was given a strict deadline to have all dogs off of the premises. One can only imagine what horrible conditions these poor dogs had been living in.

I would say that Hunter is quite a resilient guy. His whole world was upended. He was taken away from both his parents and his 2 siblings. Luckily he became a RAGOM dog. We gave him a bath right after we got home and did introductions to my resident dogs at midnight. I must say even at such a late hour it went well. The bath... well, let's just say I think FD was as wet as Hunter. At least Hunter smells a bit fresher than his arrival.

Hunter is said to be 7 months old. We will ask our vet on this on Thursday night at our wellness exam. I think he may just a little older based on his size. I am also guessing that Hunter weighs in at 70 -75 pounds. He has a big blocky head and big feet. His fur is super soft and his tail has hardly stopped wagging. He was play bowing with my resident dog Indy first thing Monday morning. They love to chase each other outside.

What Hunter will need in a forever home is:

• Another confident dog(s) to show him the ropes.
• No really small children. He is big and does not have any training. So someone that is committed to obedience training is desired.
• A physical fence is recommended.

FD will update more about Hunter once we have our wellness exam.

Hunter says Thank you to all of the volunteers who helped make his journey to RAGOM a success (Angie, Kathryn, Konnie and the transporters Jen, Dorothy, and Lori)!
