Hunter is a 3-year-old Boxer/Rottweiler mix in Bethel park, PA, who needs $500 for Midazolam, IV fluids, and ICU care.

Hunter was an owner surrender to the local humane society with his 13 litter mates. His mother’s owner was overwhelmed by the large number of pups from an accidental litter, and he wound up at the humane society. My son and I were chosen as his family and we picked him up at 8 weeks old. He is my constant companion, travels everywhere with me, and my snuggle buddy at night.

Hunter is the dog I have always wanted. He is wonderfully behaved, gets along with all the other dogs he encounters, and comes to work with me every day teaching horseback riding lessons in our barn. He loves to hike and run with me on local trails and when we travel. One of his favorite things is to splash in the ocean on vacation, where he of course comes with the family!

Hunter loves to play with toys. He will entertain himself for hours, throwing a stuffed animal in the air and chasing after it. He also loves to hike and run, and otherwise be in the woods with me. He is the most special and gentle dog with my young son as well as all of the children that come through my barn, everyone adores him.

Hunter loves to steal water bottles and crunch them. He has a tendency to try to get into the trash, usually for this purpose. Our trash can is kept in a pantry that shuts, but on 1/19 he was able to access it. He ingested some vegetable peels that had been in the trash a few days, and had molded and is at MedVet Pittsburgh receiving treatment for mold toxicity. The vets think they can save him.

Hunter was my promise to myself to never go back to an abusive relationship. He is my best friend. I am a single parent, self employed, and recently missed work due to having Covid for the second time. Additionally, my work has been slow due to clients from work having Covid
