You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Virgil — The Gentle Giant with a Heart as Big as His Ears! At just 18 months old, Virgil the Treeing Walker Coonhound is already one incredibly handsome guy. With his soft, soulful brown eyes and easygoing personality, he has a way of winning hearts wherever he goes. Virgil came to Haven to Home as an emergency intake, suffering from painful, festering porcupine quills in his head and mouth. Thanks to dedicated veterinary care and lots of love, he’s healed beautifully. Along the way, our sweet boy was also diagnosed with heartworm—but he bravely completed his full six-month treatment and is now happy, healthy, and ready for his next chapter. Virgil is a true hound at heart. He loves to RUN, explore, and would certainly enjoy the chance to tree a few coons if given the opportunity—after all, it’s what he was bred to do! That said, he’s just as content soaking up the quiet life. He enjoys lounging, watching TV, and snuggling up in bed with his person. He is housetrained, non-destructive, and can be crated if needed. However, Virgil forms strong bonds with his people and doesn’t love being left alone—he can become quite sorrowful when separated. His foster shares that Virgil woke him on three occasions when the foster's blood sugar dropped abnormally low, as if he knew something wasn’t right.Because of his VOICE, he may not be a good match for someone who lives in a highly populated development. Despite everything he’s been through, Virgil remains the gentlest of giants. He loves everyone he meets, including other dogs, and would likely enjoy having a canine companion. His favorite pastime? Stretching out in the warm spring sun while keeping an eye out for squirrels—he’s quite the enthusiast! Virgil is neutered, up to date on vaccines, microchipped, and ready to find his forever home. While he may make a wonderful companion for someone who appreciates a good hound, Virgil wants it clearly understood—life outside in a kennel is not for him. This handsome boy is ready to be treated like the prince he truly is. â¤ï¸ Virgil—and all of us at Haven to Home—are so grateful for your support!Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ Click here for the ADOPTION APPLICATION if you are interested in adopting this pet.
