For Adoption: Dwight! Please read our dog bios carefully to be sure that the dog you are applying for suits your family and lifestyle. We at PDR believe in the benefits of post-adoption training for our dogs and their families. This allows for continued socialization, learning and helps to create a well-mannered and balanced dog. Post-adoption training is a requirement in our adoption process. To apply for adoption and for more information on our process and requirements, visit our website at https://pounddog.ca/adoption-info/. Let me introduce you to this handsome devil – Dwight! Dwight is an approximately 8 month old Blue Tick Coonhound and he has some of the most beautiful markings that I have ever seen on this breed. He has a very smooth and short coat and his body is mostly black with some blue tick markings. The tops of his arms and legs are blue tick and blends beautifully into red tick on the lower portion of all of his arms and legs. His face has the beautiful black and tan colourings, and his eyes are a soft brown and forever energetic. Dwight currently weighs about 57 lbs and we expect that he will be closer to 65lbs once he is fully grown and filled out. Dwight has the longest and silkiest soft ears that you could just sit and rub for hours, and he will let you, he loves his human affection, especially when you are petting his head and ears. Dwight is definitely a dog that lives to please his humans! Dwight was originally found roaming around with his sister and were picked up by the local pound, from there they were both lucky enough to land a foster spot with Pound Dog Rescue! From the moment we brought Dwight into our home he has been a very happy go lucky puppy with a major zest for life. You would never know that he was abandoned and spent time in a pound, because this guy is just so happy all the time. Dwight is always looking for an adventure and going out for walks is his favourite time of the day! Dwight loves to be out on the town to see all the sights and sniff all the smells, Dwight also thinks that everybody should be his friend! Dwight is such a handsome boy and his intelligence is starting to catch up with him to match! Dwight is living in a home with adults and teens, big dogs and little dogs, old dogs and young dogs, and a cat. Dwight loved all the humans in the household immediately, he is very much a people pleaser and loves the attention and affection that he receives from his humans. That being said, Dwight is large and still a puppy and will be in his puppy stage for at least another 18 months, given his size and excitability I’m recommending a home where kids are aged 10+ up and who understand proper play and boundaries with dogs. When it comes to the dogs Dwight will try to get anyone to play with him, he loves a good game of tug of war, keep away and chase, and don’t forget the wrestling! Dwight has been very patient when playing with the smaller dogs in the home and is fairly respectable of his size in comparison to them. When it comes to the older dogs, Dwight will still try to initiate play even if they have expressed that they are not interested. We do sometimes need to step in to remind him that he’s not welcome to do as he pleases. We would recommend a home with another younger playful dog for him to spend time with, or he would also be more than happy to be an only dog! Dwight would absolutely love to be the only dog in the home getting all the love and affection from his people. Dwight does have a dog savvy cat in his foster home, and I would suggest that if he goes to a home with cats that they be dog savvy and that his new family understands that there will need to be slow introductions that are properly supervised for the first few months. Dwight has shown some prey drive in the house with the cat, so if she tries to run away it will trigger him to give chase, however when the cat is stationary he doesn’t show as much interest and can be distracted away from her. As mentioned, Dwight loves to go on his daily walks. He is currently being walked using a gentle leader head halter while we help him to understand leash respect. He is doing very well using this tool and his walks are very enjoyable. Dwight has the most precious prance when he walks, it’s mesmerizing to watch him! Dwight loves to see other dogs and people while we are out on our walks, as I said before, he thinks everyone should be his friend. When it comes to seeing wildlife on our walks Dwight gets very excited. We have been working on him maintaining leash respect when he sees wildlife and he has been improving each day. Continued walks in his forever home will ensure that he continues to develop good walking habits and leads his best life. When it comes to training, we are looking for a family who is absolutely committed to advanced levels of obedience and not just doing the required basic obedience and leaving it at that. Training is a lifelong commitment and while training hounds can be very rewarding, you must understand that hounds are a stubborn breed to train. We are hoping to find someone with hound experience for Dwights forever home. He is picking up on house manners beautifully and is really starting to understand what is expected of him in the home, he is learning that he must sit in order to get pets and affection. Dwight has been going to dog training while with us and he is doing very well! He is currently learning a controlled sit, down, come, stay, heel, and to pay attention to his name. Dwight is a working breed dog, and with that comes great responsibility to ensure that he is getting enough physical and mental exercise. Dwight is not suited for a home where someone will just take him for one or two walks a day, he requires much more engagement than that to ensure that he can be his best self and not become destructive in the home. Dwight would likely thrive with a family member who wants to participate in cani-cross or are runners, or regular hikers. He is a very outdoorsy dog and his people will need to be active, outdoorsy people too. That being said, Dwight is always down for a good cuddle session! Dwight really thinks he is a lapdog and loves to snuggle up on the couch with his humans, the closer the better! At the end of the day Dwight will happily curl up with us to watch a show, and during the day when his human works from home, he is always calm and quiet. On bad weather days if we are unable to get out for a walk, Dwight is happy to take part in some fun enrichment in the home to help to tire him out physically and mentally! Dwight has been working very hard on his housetraining and is doing exceptionally well. It’s important that his humans work with him to make sure that he is doing his business outside and are praising him for this when he does. Dwight only had a few accidents in the first few weeks with us, but since then there have been zero issues. Dwight does take a while to find the perfect spot to go, so it’s just a matter of making sure you’re watching him to ensure he has finished doing his business. Dwight has been on many car rides with us and it’s safe to say that he loves going in the car!! Anytime you leave the house is an adventure and he’s always excited to see where he gets to go! Dwight will happily curl up in the backseat of the car after spending some time watching out the window, he will always be quiet and he loves to tag along to keep you company. Dwight has been on a few car rides while his human does a salt run and he absolutely loved it. Dwight is crate trained and goes into his crate for all of his meals, when we go to bed, and when the humans leave for the day. Dwight does not love his crate yet, but we are working on making the crate a safe place for him where he can feel safe and enjoy. Dwight is vocal in his crate initially and it will take him a bit of time to settle down and become quiet. When we go to bed it’s only about 5 minutes before he calms and quiets down. When we leave for work, it is also about 5 minutes and as long as there are no disturbances in the home, he will soundly sleep otherwise. Given that Dwight can be vocal in his crate, we are looking for a detached home for him where there are no concerns that he will bug any neighbours. Dwight would definitely love his forever home to have a fully fenced, large secure yard that he could play in, he loves to run around the yard and pick up fallen branches to chew on and he also thinks that the river rocks are toys to be played with and has collected a pile of them in his dog house! Dwight has been to the vet and he has been heartworm and lyme tested, dewormed, neutered, microchipped, and has received all of his vaccinations, though he will likely need a booster in the near future. Dwight is looking for his forever person/home where someone has time to dedicate to him becoming the best dog he can be through lots of exercise and training. He’s looking for a home where he is the only dog, or where he has another young playful dog to keep him company. He requires a detached home with a secure fenced yard. Dwight is a very loving, happy go lucky boy who is just looking for someone to please. If you think you can provide Dwight with the forever home that he is looking for, then I urge you to apply for him now! #rescuedismyfavoritebreed #rescuedog #adoptdontshop #pounddogs #pdr13years #pounddogrescue13yearsstrong Name: Dwight ID # PDR2105 Age: 8mths Gender: male Neutered: yes UTD vaccines: yes Breed: Bluetick Coonhound Coat length: short House trained: yes Special needs: no OK with kids: older OK with cats: no Ok with dogs: yes Status: adoptable Microchip: yes Size: large Location: Plattsville Adoption fee: $900
