Hunter - Shepherd and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in San Francisco, California

Hunter is a ~50-pound intelligent and energetic companion who offers the balance of an active outdoor partner and an easygoing boy at home.

True to the "ball is life" philosophy, Hunter loves playing fetch, and he has a special love for jumping right into the pool. He is always up for hiking and adventures and playing with other dogs. But once the outdoor fun is over, he can also settle down.

Hunter is house-trained, has basic training down, and lounges on his bed when left alone. He is good on the leash (but may try to chase squirrels). He is sensitive, affectionate and likes children, making him a great family companion.

If you are looking for a smart, sweet and adventurous companion who is always down for a swim or a hike, Hunter is ready to find his perfect match. (RR)

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.

The shepherd dog breed encompasses a versatile group known for their intelligence, loyalty, and strong work ethic. With a heritage deeply rooted in herding and protecting livestock, shepherds excel at various tasks ranging from obedience and agility competitions to search and rescue missions.

In addition to their remarkable abilities, shepherds are often characterized by their distinctive appearance, including a sturdy build, alert expression, and a signature double coat that provides insulation and protection in various climates.
