Iris Updated's story...
Please contact Georgette (han.nah@sympatico.ca) for more information about this pet.

 

UPDATE: Iris has lost 20 pounds since entering foster care and she's doing great! She no longer requires Meloxicam on a daily basis since she isn't carrying around so much extra weight. Her energy level has increased and she can get busy with her new found desire to steal cloths from the hamper and counter surf! Iris is a very sweet girl who deserves a home of her own.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Iris is a very gentle and loving girl. She adores people and children but due to her size, can easily knock small children over. She's great with other dogs, big dogs and little dogs. She's also great with cats and had raised a small kitten. She's a very social girl who needs regular walks and is now on a healthy diet (a quality food for "less active" dogs). She's overweight and should weigh 90 to 95 lbs. Her energy level will surely pick up as pounds drop off, and she will want to walk further. Iris is very good on a leash and is so friendly that she loves to meet every dog and person that she comes across on her walks. Iris is on a generic form of Metacam called Meloxicam to help her joints feel comfortable and the cost is approximately $15 per month.  Iris had been rescued by her previous owner and we're guessing that she's between 7 to 8 years young. Iris still has many years of love to offer a family to call her own and as the extra pounds are coming off, she is living life much more happily and comfortably.

Please Note:  We are all volunteers and busy taking care of our foster dogs so please take the time to fill out our o-nline adoption application if you are interested in more information about any of the hounds that we have for adoption. Filling out our application does not obligate you to adopt in any way.  It does, however, help us to determine if the dog that your interested in would be a good match for your family and lifestyle. 

All of our dogs are fully vetted.  They have been vaccinated, altered, microchipped and heartworm tested and on prevention.

ADOPTION FEE: Please Enquire

LOCATION: Iris is currently being fostered in Innisfil, ON.  Transportation to her forever home can be arranged.  Don't let distance deter you!


If you would like to give this beautiful girl a forever home please fill out our on line adoption application at ADOPTION APPLICATION

About Our Rescue Group...
Canadian Hound Rescue is dedicated to promoting responsible hound ownership. Many of the hounds that end up in shelters or rescue are abandoned hunting dogs that were previously tied to a doghouse outside for most of the year, only to be let loose during hunting season. We believe that no hound should have to suffer such a fate, and will place hounds as indoor pets only. Since many of our hounds have never lived in a house before, all dogs are initially placed in foster homes where they are housetrained and learn basic house manners. While in foster care our hounds are also spayed or neutered, brought up to date on vaccinations, and provided with any necessary medical care. Finally, their temperament and personality are evaluated so that we can find the best possible match between each individual hound and its adoptive home.

Come Meet Our Pets...
If you would like to meet one of our hounds please contact us as they are located in foster homes throughout Ontario. We always need more foster homes. Fostering is essential to Canadian Hound Rescue in saving hounds and keeping our rescue going. The more homes we have, the more dogs we can save.
Our Adoption Process...
All adoptive homes are required to go through a screening process that includes a telephone interview, filling out an application, reference checks and a home visit. An adoption fee is required to offset some of the costs incurred in caring for and re-homing each hound. Canadian Hound Rescue remains committed to each animal for the rest of its life and if, at any time and for any reason, the adoption does not work out, we require that the hound be returned to us.
We Serve the Following Cities, Towns, and/or Counties...
Canadian Hound Rescue is a small, not-for-profit organization of volunteers dedicated to helping homeless and abandoned hounds find loving and permanent homes as indoor pets. We mainly operate in Ontario, but have volunteers in other provinces as well. We rescue all breeds of coonhounds including the Black and Tan, Bluetick, Redbone, English, Plott Hound, and Treeing Walker Coonhounds. We also rescue Bloodhounds and hound mixes.
