Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Lewis came to us from an overcrowded kill shelter in west central Illinois. He and his brother Clark literally had one day to live. Lewis is now in need of a permanent loving home to show him what kindness from humans is like. We believe he was abused. Quite shy - probable best home placement would be with another relatively calm yet playful dog. Lewis needs to observe (and receive) love and affection given to the other dog (& him) by the human family. A home consisting of a couple w/o children or older children who are less active. Medium, short coated American Foxhound weighing in at 54 pounds and not quite one year old. No aggression shown. Warms up to positive reinforcement and happy calm voice. Lewis is crate trained, keeping it clean and is slowly learning how to walk on leash. Alot of potential here. Needs a bit of time to readjust to new surroundings. Neutered, vaccines up to date and heartworm prevention started. This is one lucky sweetheart needing a loving home. Adoption fee $160. <><><> BREED INFO:: The Foxhound is usually well-mannered in the home. He gets along best with human or canine companionship. They are tolerant, friendly, gentle and sensitive dogs. Generally, American Foxhounds tolerate the poking and prodding of children rather well. We've heard of young children learning to walk by holding onto a Foxhounds upright tail! Not real demonstrative pooches though. Some can become couch potatoes as they age. They quickly jump from the couch if you mention "outside"! Most are reserved with strangers. They are highly sociable and should never be expected to live without human or canine companionship
