Black and Tan Coonhound Treeing Walker Coonhound

Female, Adult
Blanding, UT
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
She's the biggest human lover ever, major attention hog, has the goofiest personality, super lazy, has the funniest butt-dragging run when she has the zoomies, is your own personal space heater, basically scared of her own shadow, a glutton for food with a huge love especially for peanuts and tortillas as treats, has the best bah-rooo hound bark ever, absolutely LOVES and is super protective of tiny humans and gives really good hugs when she greets you when you come home. She is about 6-8 years old, about 50+60ish lbs, fixed, fully potty and crate trained, will 'sit,' 'lay down,' and 'shake' with the bribe of treats and go to her crate with the command of 'go home' 1: Recommended to have a fully and secured fenced in yard (she's an escape artist and trust me, she is FAST) 2: She must be an indoor dog, as she doesn't do well in the extreme heat or cold. 3: She cannot be used as a hunting dog, as we believe she may have been a 'failed' hunting dog that got abandoned when we rescued her 6

Durango, CO
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Spayed or Neutered,
Story
From Brice's Foster:Brice gets nervous at the shelter and has a hard time showing off his big personality. Brice is a gentle, mellow giant. He can be a bit shy in new situations but warms up easily. He loves everyone though men need to talk gentle with him or he gets scared. He doesn't bark except when playing and it's not much, he's just having fun. He gets along with all sizes of dogs. He likes lpcto be part of the pack. He loves following his foster mom everywhere she goes and sleeps all night in his own bed, snuggling with his favorite stuffed animals. He enjoys the company of the family cat as well. He understands stairs and doggie doors and is doing pretty well with potty training. He has learned to sit and is doing pretty well with his leash training although his foster sisters distract him. He will do great in a house with other dogs and cats, but also in a house that can give him lots of human attention as well. He would be miserable if he was an outside dog. He loves walks but also loves lounging around the house as well and watching tv with the family.
