From Umbrella of Hope

Meet Hunter Hunter is a 3-year-old, 22-pound Jack Russell Terrier mix who was saved by Umbrella of Hope just in time. The shelter environment was simply too much for him, and he began shutting down almost immediately. But within just 24 hours of leaving the shelter, Hunter started showing us a completely different dog. He is still cautious at first, especially with unfamiliar people, loud noises, and sudden movements, but give him a little time and he warms up beautifully. Dogs, on the other hand? Hunter LOVES them and seems to gain confidence from having canine friends around. He walks well on leash, enjoys exploring, and is already making great progress with potty training—even though he has only been in foster care for a couple of days. He is also starting to learn basic commands and clearly enjoys having someone show him what is expected. It appears Hunter may have spent quite a bit of time surviving as a stray. Treats, tricks, leash walking, and basic household routines all seemed unfamiliar to him at first, but he is catching on quickly and genuinely seems eager to please. Hunter is proving to be all bark and no bite. He may bark when excited or while playing with dog…

In the rescue's own words, as they published it.
