My personality

My story

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

Looking for a bluetick coonhound? Gracie is a beautiful hound girl originally from Virginia. She gets along with other dogs and would love to live with a hound companion since that's what she's accustomed to. Gracie is housebroken, sleeps nicely in her crate, and walks well on a leash. She knows some commands and is a fast learner who will benefit from continued training. She is more praise-driven than food-driven. She loves to play with her toys and is playful with other dogs. She's also a great snuggler and loves to roll around on the sofa inviting belly rubs. Gracie probably had one original owner who she loved and trusted. She likes a slow introduction to new people and places, but she does settle in easily. Gracie has been in several foster homes already but had to leave one due to travel schedules and the other due to her prey drive around the cats - so no cats please. Gracie is about 2.5 yrs old and weighs 57 lbs. She is available for visits south of Boston.

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 .
