Additional info: Hyper has had a rough life so far. His owner dumped him in a situation where he was outdoors with no human contact but feeding. We found out through social media about his terrible living conditions and got him out before he could be dumped. Understandably, he came to us timid and under socialized. If you go slow, he will be your best friend and sit on your lap. He actually warms up pretty quickly and is super easy. If you don't go slow, you may get nipped and snarled at. He needs a very patient, experienced owner who can help him settle down and feel less scared. Hyper is good with other dogs and loves his walks. He's a barker when he's scared and he's an awesome climber and can scale fences. Hyper is a diamond in the rough who is longing for a forever home where he will be treated as a valued family member. No young kids for Hyper, please.
