Looking for a fresh start — meet this sweet 4-year-old Coonhound! This handsome boy has had a hard past, but despite everything he’s been through, he is ready to leave it behind and start the next chapter of his life. He is a sweet, affectionate boy who is looking for someone willing to give him the time, patience, and love he deserves. He came to us with his sister, so we know that he can live happily with another dog. He can sometimes be a little possessive, so slow introductions and appropriate management will be important, but having a canine companion is definitely possible. Cats are not an option. Coonhounds have strong hunting instincts, and his nose and prey drive are simply too much for a home with cats or other small animals. And if you’ve never lived with a Coonhound before, there are a few things you should know! They are VOCAL! Coonhounds aren’t exactly known for being quiet housemates. Their nose is their world. Following a scent can be incredibly exciting, so secure fencing and leash management are important. They can be hard-headed. They are intelligent, independent dogs who may occasionally decide that their nose has a better plan than you do! But they are also incredibly loving, goofy, loyal companions when given the right environment. For this reason, he is looking for a calm, relaxed home without children, where he can decompress, feel safe, and enjoy the simple things in life. He doesn’t need a perfect home — he needs a patient home that understands him and is ready to give him the fresh start he deserves. After a difficult past, it’s time for this sweet boy to discover what being loved and truly cared for feels like. Could you be the person who gives him his second chance?
