My personality

My story

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

Meet Geneva!

A spirited nine-and-a-half-year-old Treeing Walker Coonhound currently in Kensington, MD, whose essence is a blend of gentle charm and outdoor adventure, wrapped in a beautiful tricolor coat.

Geneva is the perfect paradox: indoors, she’s the queen of calm, curling up in classic hound fashion for hours of peaceful napping, whether in a cozy ball or stretched out like a blissful snoozing pig. But once the front door opens? She's ready to hit the trail with unshakable enthusiasm! From neighborhood strolls and spirited park romps to ogling guinea pigs at PetSmart and making joyful splashes at the doggy beach, Geneva thrives in the company of her people on any adventure.

At 53 pounds, she’s a medium-sized bundle of joy with perceptive brown eyes, ears that fan out with curiosity, and a personality that draws you in immediately. Her caregivers often say she’s ageless in spirit, so much so that when someone guessed she was seven months instead of seven years, they weren’t entirely wrong about her energy! She still loves chasing toys, dashing around the yard, and showing off her "sit," "shake," and "wait" skills.

Geneva is house-trained, spayed, microchipped, and bravely managing a thyroid condition with a simple twice-daily medication she takes during meals. She's incredibly intuitive, she knows when it’s dinner time just by the sound of a laptop closing and an office lamp clicking off. Thunderstorms and toddler energy aren’t her favorite things, and she’s shown some anxiety in those situations, including mild nipping when feeling overwhelmed around little ones. Because of that, Geneva would be most comfortable in a family without young children or with kids over the age of five.

She’s selective with dog companions and would thrive as the only pet or with slow introductions to calm, smaller dogs. She isn’t compatible with cats or small animals due to her strong prey drive but she is endlessly loving with teens and adults, offering her quiet companionship and goofy antics in equal measure.

Geneva is ready for her next chapter with a family who values peaceful evenings, playful weekends, and the kind of loyal friendship only a hound like her can offer. Could that be you? Contact adopt@joyfulpets.com to meet Geneva!
