My name is Hunk!

Hunk is a 2.5 year old black Labrador, probably a mix, intact. He was acquired as a 7 month old puppy; the story provided was that he was in training to be a guide dog for the blind but failed training due to anxiety issues.

Hunk is very friendly with other dogs and wants to play. He doesn't fetch but likes to run and tug. He can be off leash but his recall isn't great, though he's not a bolter, just a selective hearer. Hunk lived with two cats and has lived part-time with a Chihuahua mix. He's proven to be good with cats and small dogs; he wants to play but will back off.

Behavioral problems: Hunk is anxious, afraid of loud noises and traffic. He startles easily, and if on leash, will pull very hard to get to safety (home). He's nervous about strangers but easily soothed.

Outside of his anxiety, Hunk has a delightful temperament, and it seems like most of his behavioral issues could be fairly easily resolved with a change in environment and companionship, which we cannot provide.
