Story
Koa is a fun loving, energetic dog. We got him originally to be a farm watch dog when we lived on a large farm in Pennsylvania. It was a good fit then, with plenty of acres to run. We have since moved to a smaller home and are expecting our 3rd child since getting him. Koa loves to play and deserves to be exercised and played with much more than we are able to provide with the workload of our young family multiplying. Koa has no behavioral issues, and is very affectionate. We simply cannot adequately keep up with his high energy and need for play and exercise. He’s a good dog, just not a good fit for our family at this time.

Story
We adopted Mya a few years ago from a local family she is almost 6 years old now. She likes to cuddle when we are home. She sleeps well in a kennel at night if in same room as you but can get distressed if she is left alone in kennel. She does best to let her roam free in house when gone for extended periods of time. Mya is great with other dogs and would do good in a home with multiple dogs or with someone that is home all the time. Unfortunately we are not home enough to give her the attention that she is needing.

Bluetick Coonhound

Female, Adult
South Charleston, WV
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Maggie is so friendly (too friendly according to some of my friends lol). She is beautiful and everyone who meets her says so. She is definitely a dog for dog lovers. She is 4 years old. My ex and I got her after COVID to entertain our other dog. But after my divorce she was supposed to go with her but she didn't take her. I think she would be a perfect dog with a little training, love, and attention. Just with our kids, busy schedule, and not being the most attentive dog owners her behaviors such as jumping on guests, begging for food, barking when not needed, and fighting with our other dog for food has us realize that someone new might give her the attention she needs more than us.
