My personality

My story

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

Molly is a sweet and engaging Black and Tan Coonhound who really needs a break. She has been passed around through several homes and most recently was found abandoned at a state park in central Massachusetts. Her history became apparent after the people who dropped her off were located. Molly makes friends with people easily; she's outgoing, affectionate and loving. She's pretty calm, housebroken and crates well. Like all hounds, she likes some time outside for tracking and exploring. She behaved well at the vet and has shown no aggression around food. Molly is approximately 5 years old and is slightly overweight at 70 lbs. In a home environment, she may not do well with other resident dogs. Molly has been through a lot in the last 6 months. It is not unusual for rescue dogs with this history to be anxious and stressed in yet another new place. Molly needs an experienced dog owner and Hound experience would be a plus. She needs structure and patience, time to build trust and confidence, and a gentle and slow introduction to other animals, children and visitors. She may bond strongly to her primary caregiver in a new home environment and everyone, including frequent visitors, should be involved in her care and feeding. Molly has a great personality and will be a fun and loving hound companion in the right home.

More about this rescue

Coonhounds make wonderful pets. They are very sociable and affectionate and get along well with families and with other dogs. Outside of New England, coonhounds are mostly used for hunting and are often discarded and undervalued if they turn out to be poor trackers or are not needed anymore. Our mission is to educate people about the suitability of coonhounds as pets; to provide support to coonhound owners; and to re home as many coonhounds as possible .
