Della is a tall and slim senior hound mix, she actually still feels and acts like a young dog. She is very good with other dogs and enjoys zooming the yard in her foster home with a 6 month old hound puppy. She will do best in a home with a fenced yard and someone that enjoys long walks or other outdoors activities. Della is 25 lbs but her body build makes her look bigger than her weight. Della enjoys her crate (42in) where she sleeps through the night on her soft bed. The crate is her refuge during the day too, the door is always open for her to walk in for a nap. The foster home can be a noisy place at times since she shares with 6 other dogs of all ages and sizes. Della is friendly with a loving demeanor but to get attention she sometimes jumps up on humans and may knock young kids over, we have been working on teaching her not to jump but not there yet. As many hounds Della is very food motivated which makes training easier, old dogs can definitely learn new tricks if the right treats are available.
Happy Days Dog and Cat Rescue microchips all dogs and cats before adoption. Microchips are implanted between the shoulder blades and are another form of identification should the animal get lost. The microchips are registered to Happy Days Dog and Cat Rescue. The adopter's information is added once the adoption is complete. The adopter is responsible for a $19.99/Year registration fee or a $45.00/Lifetime registration fee to change information. Dogs and Cats still need to have collar with tags should they get lost.
