This helps Carolina Coonhound Rescue with pet care costs.
Vinny is a friendly, outgoing Velcro hound that is feeling much better these days. He is eager to please, affectionate, and after living on the streets, he thoroughly enjoys a comfy sofa.
He came to us with severe allergies that caused chronic ear infections. With a prescription diet food, his skin has improved dramatically. Unfortunately, his ears didn’t respond to various treatments and he has had Total Ear Canal Ablation (TECA) on both of his ears. This involves removing the entire ear canal. While many dogs are deaf post-surgery, Vinny can still hear sounds and vibrations.
Vinny also has what is called sebaceous adenitis. This is an autoimmune disease that causes cells in the immune system to destroy the sebaceous glands in the skin which secrete oils that are important for coat and skin health. It’s also believed he has some mild allergies. He will require lifelong medications to keep his skin happy and comfortable as well as allergy friendly foods, but he’s well managed now and he’s looking SO much better!
And as amazing as dogs are, he has no idea he is any different. He loves to stand on his back legs and put his front paws on your waist to give you a hug. He’s an energetic boy looking for a home with another playful dog and someone to love him forever. We know that Vinny’s continued care will make it hard to find him a forever home, but we know the perfect one is out there for him!
If you are interested in adopting this dog, please fill out an application. We do allow out of state adoptions and any transport costs are at the expense of the adopter. If you have further questions about this dog, please email us at ccradopt@gmail.com and someone will be in touch as soon as possible. Please note we are unable to hold dogs for adopters as this ties up valuable foster homes.
Please understand that we are an all volunteer group and we have jobs outside of this organization. We do our best to provide quick responses but occasionally they are a little slower. If you do not receive a response in 48 hours, please resend to make sure it's received.
