Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Athena is a special hound girl in need of a special situaton. Athena is about 3.5 years old and weighs 65 lbs. She's an elegant looking coonhound, she runs and leaps with ease and will need a sturdy 6 foot fence. Athena has had obedience training. She knows sit, lie-down, give paw, and will sit for her food until you say 'release'. She does well in her crate and is housebroken. Athena is a funny girl, loving and affectionate to her family and of course loves her walks and outside time. She does well with other dogs and enjoyed frequent visits to the dog park. Athena can be exhuberant about meeting other people and dogs and has been trained to sit nicely when there are distractions and oncoming people and dogs approaching on walks. Her one challenging behavior involves guarding behavior around stolen or 'contraband' food items. A management plan is needed to deal with these situations and Athena will go to her new home with a training package in place.
Athena's ideal home would be with a fenced yard and an outdoorsy person who can offer structure and continue her training.

About our rescue
We are a foster based rescue. Our dogs are in foster homes throughout the area or in some cases in the south waiting to be transported north. We do not have a physical shelter. However, meet and greets are set up for approved applicants.
Our Adoption Process
Visit our website www.necoonhoundrescue.org for information about the Coonhound and Beagle breeds. Read ‘Is a Coonhound Right for You’.
If you'd like to apply, our application is available at the link above. Once we review your application one of our Adoption Counselors will be in touch to review it with you. Once the phone interview is completed, we will check your vet reference as well as a personal reference and conduct a home visit.
