Meet Hunter, a sweet and gentle giant Great Pyrenees mix who has been volunteering with the Shelter to Soldier Canine Ambassador team alongside his human handler, Anahi, since 2023. Hunter is as lovable as he is fluffy, and true to his name, he leaves a little “glitter” everywhere he goes—reminders of his soft fur and cuddly nature.

Hunter has a special way of connecting with everyone he meets. He loves to lean into affection, soaking up pets while giving back comfort in return. His calm, patient demeanor makes him a favorite among veterans, active-duty service members, and families alike. Whether he’s visiting community events, sharing quiet moments with someone in need, or just spreading joy with his presence, Hunter embodies warmth, love, and gentle strength.

Follow his adventures on Instagram at @mygreatpyreneesnamedhunter, where his playful spirit, cuddles, and trademark “glitter” are always on full display. Hunter proves that even the biggest dogs can have the biggest hearts, leaving lasting impressions wherever he goes.
