FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — A 6-month-old puppy named Hunter is hoping to find his forever home at the Humane Society of Broward County.
HSBC’s Cherie Wachter on Saturday said Hunter weighs about 23 to 24 pounds and still has some growing to do, likely reaching around 40 to 45 pounds.
She says his short legs suggest he may have some basset hound in him, meaning he’ll get a bit bigger — but not much taller.
Wachter describes Hunter as a sweet, energetic pup who loves toys and attention, but says he is still learning. Like many puppies, he will need training and appropriate chew toys. He also appears to be a bit nervous on walks when loud vehicles pass by, but builds confidence in quieter settings.
She adds that Hunter may do well in a home with another playful dog, though he could be unsure around cats.
Also available for adoption is a 7-month-old rabbit named Cinnamon, who is already neutered and ready for a home. Staff say rabbits require daily exercise, Timothy hay for digestion, and fresh greens. Some rabbits can even be litter trained.
Those interested in adopting a pet can fill out a pre-adoption application at humanebroward.com. Adoption kennels open at 11 a.m.
