My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Will you be my best friend? I am a 3 year old, 55 pound, Treeing Walker Coonhound. I am house trained and use a doggy door when needed. I am not a fan of outside when it is storming, so you may have to nudge me out to go. I know “sit” and am trying to learn “stay”. Like most hound dogs, I do have a stubborn streak, but I will do anything for treats! I spend the day sleeping on my human’s office floor while she works or quietly in my open crate in the bedroom. At night, I will go in crate easily and sleep all night. I do prefer to be in the same room with my human when locked in the crate, but I am getting better at being alone! I enjoy walking on a leash. I am mostly polite with a harness, but will pull in a traditional collar. I get along with other dogs. I am not sure about how I feel about cats. I did meet one the other day at my vet check and I did not react to it pawing at my nose, but a more thorough meeting would be helpful. I am hesitant towards men at first, but will warm up when they are patient. I am still learning how to just be a dog. I will occasionally chase a toy or other dogs at the dog park, but seem to get bored with playtime pretty quickly. My dream home would be a yard where I can roam and a human I can hang out with most of the day.

If you think you could be my best friend please fill out an adoption application www.rescueahart.org!
