My story

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

Weight: 84LBS

ATTENTION ALL HOUND LOVERS!!!!

Meet Zero– the unofficial playground supervisor of the dog yard. This Treeing Walker Coonhound mix is here to keep things fair, fun, and fully monitored. If other pups get too rowdy, Zero doesn’t bark – oh no – he makes his signature sound, which is somewhere between a kazoo, a goose honk, and a car that won’t start. It’s hilarious, slightly judgmental, and 100% effective.

Zero is the definition of a classic hound dog—guided by his incredible sense of smell and a heart full of adventure. If there’s a scent in the air, you can bet Zero is already on the case. His tracking skills are unmatched, and he approaches every walk like a mission, tail high and nose to the ground.

Zero enjoys exploring new places, following scent trails, and using that brilliant hound brain of his. Enrichment activities, sniffari-style walks, and puzzle feeders are some of his favorite ways to spend the day. Whether he’s trotting through the yard or investigating every corner of the neighborhood, life with Zero is never boring.

Zero can also be protective of his food, so Zero will need an adopter committed to slow introductions, structure, and a safe mealtime routine. With consistency and respect for his boundaries. He will also thrive in a home with lots of energy.

Dogs: Bring all pooches in to meet this pup!
Cats: The staff highly recommends no to cats for this guy.
Kids: All kids in the home must come in and meet. Including grandkids.
