Treeing Walker Coonhound puppies and dogs in Hartford, Connecticut

  If you are looking for a loyal outdoor companion with a heart of gold, say hello to Kahlua—an 8-year-old Treeing Walker Coonhound mix who defines “good ole’ boy” in the best possible way. Around 60 pounds of love and sweetness, Kahlua lives for sunshine, breezes, rustling leaves, and long, thoughtful walks. He’s the kind of dog who doesn’t rush through life—he notices everything, appreciates the little things, and reminds you to slow down and enjoy the moment. Kahlua has impeccable manners. Need to tie your shoe? He’ll stop and wait. Collar slips off? He’ll walk right over so you can fix it. He listens beautifully and truly wants to please his person. He also has a fun side—he loves squeaky toys, playing fetch (sharing the ball is a work in progress!), giving kisses, and being tucked in under cozy blankets like the pampered hound he is.  This boy is also a lake and boat enthusiast—a true water bug who will happily join you for every lakeside adventure. He grew up with other dogs and prefers being the “big guy,” doing well with respectful smaller dogs or calmer companions. Solo walks? He’s relaxed and steady. With bigger, energetic dogs? He may pull a bit in excitement. Kahlua loves kids who treat him kindly and is friendly toward cats, even though he didn’t share a home with them before. Above all else, Kahlua is drawn to people who make him feel loved—give him attention and he’ll give you his whole heart. He does get springtime seasonal allergies, so starting Apoquel in February or early March keeps him feeling his best. It’s a simple bit of care for a dog who gives so much sweetness in return. Kahlua’s former mama adored him deeply but faced life changes that made caring for him impossible. Now he’s ready for a forever home where he can spend his years surrounded by stability, love, comfort, and a family who appreciates everything he has to offer. Kahlua is ready to be someone’s best friend. If you want a loyal companion with an old soul and endless love to share, come meet this wonderful boy.  Please email Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com if you are interested in giving this boy the years of his life as your best sidekick ever   PLEASE NOTE:  Our dogs are transported from Tennessee to meeting places in the states where we have posted.  Further information about us is given on our Adopt-A-Pet site.  The adoption fees vary and will be provided as well as noted on the application you receive.  Contact us at 615-661-5333 or ccrnewengland@gmail.comJanuary 12, 2026, 9:57 am

Scout is a neutered male hound/weimaraner mix (see his DNA results), weighing about 40-45 lbs! He is a sweet, special boy who has had a rough past and really needs an angel to step up and save his life. His estimated age is 5-6 years old, however he has graying on his muzzle which makes him look older than he is. He also has scars on his ears and face.   This boy has definitely experienced trauma and he is slow to trust people, but deep down he just wants to love and be loved.  He is misunderstood and has had people let him down too many times. Scout bonds closely to one person and once he trusts you, you will feel the love and adoration every time he looks into your eyes!  He is a lazy couch potato who loves to nap on the couch next to you and will follow you around the house like your shadow.  Once you’ve really earned his love, he will steal your slippers or other little trinkets that smell like you and take them onto the couch to keep close to him.  He won’t chew them, he just wants to keep a piece of you with him always.   Scout has been adopted and returned once due to fearful aggressive behavior towards men and children. He has been in his current foster home for over a year now and has not had any adopt interest. He is a good boy, but he requires a very specific type of home to do well, and we have not had any luck finding the right home for him   His current foster mom loves him and has worked hard to help him be the best boy he can be, but there is a man in the home and Scout just cannot comfortably coexist with a man. He (the man) understands that Scout’s aggression towards him comes from a place of fear and he has tried hard to earn Scout’s trust, but we feel that Scout would do best in a home with NO men.  Scout’s ideal home: A female only home, no men, children, or cats.  Scout does very well with other dogs and likes to be near them, he also has bursts of playful enjoy and will happily romp around for a play session! A friendly, confident doggo friend would help him to feel safe and to trust, although he would also do just fine as an only dog.  A quiet, calm home environment is best for Scout. He is lower energy and is happy to nap on the couch all day, but he does also love walks (he is strong and tends to pull, so he needs someone strong enough to handle him).   He needs a home that will commit to crating him in a separate room when they have visitors over, as he is not good with new people and when Scout is fearful, he relies on aggression to keep him safe and to keep the “scary” thing away.  Scout needs someone to love him for who he is, warts and all, who will set him up for success and advocate for him. Scout is currently being fostered in CT. If you think you might be a good fit for Scout, please consider applying to foster or adopt him!   Click HERE for Adoption Application: pawsrescueleague.org/adopt Adoption fees vary based on the dog and are not negotiable. As a small rescue that does not receive government funding or grants, we rely on adoption fees to stay afloat. Adoption fees help cover the following: vaccinations, wellness exams, heartworm/4DX testing, parasite prevention, spay/neuter (age-appropriate), microchipping, transport expenses, and other rescue-related overhead/administrative costs. Paws Rescue League, Inc is an all-inclusive rescue that does NOT only rescue puppies and young, healthy dogs.  We make a point to also rescue seniors, dogs with special needs, moms, and other “less desirable” dogs, knowing that we will likely incur higher veterinary expenses and that these dogs may take longer to get adopted.  As such, an individual adoption fee is not only reimbursing PRL for expenses directly related to that dog, but it is also helping us to continue our mission of taking in dogs that would otherwise be too much of a financial burden to save. We believe that ALL dogs deserve a second chance. Thank you for your support and understanding! ##1778132##

Our handsome Ryder is bursting with charm and charisma! He is a good-natured comedian who has traversed the rescue process like a spirited game of hopscotch in which every stop is a grand opportunity to explore the Universe.  We don’t know Ryder’s history, but if anything bad happened to him, he shook it off in no time. He shows no behavioral evidence of trauma, although he came to us with signs of neglect and malnutrition. We know that he was found as a country stray Animal Control Officers in rural North Carolina. No owner claimed him. Ryder’s bum luck finally improved when our shelter contact transferred him to our care. Due to his stellar temperament and personality, Ryder has become one of the superstars in our big dog playgroup. He loves all the dogs that he has met here! Now, it is time for Ryder to live a life of his own, one where the human-dog ratio is more reasonable. He is so full of life and personality, and at just two years old, he still has a bit of the puppy Mojo going on. Ryder is like a kid in a candy shop, soaking up new experiences with sheer glee. He is a super dog that would do well in any type of environment. Ryder appears to be a Treeing walker Coonhound. He lives up to their lovable reputation. He is a medium sized dog, at a lean weight of 40 pounds. His short, flat, tri-colored coat is easy to groom with minimal shedding. Ryder has a big, goofy personality, and he loves to play. Ryder is a very happy-go-lucky guy, and would be a great addition to an active family with older, dog savvy kids. He is friendly and will gives everyone in the family equal attention. Ryder is not one to play favorites, and he is very stranger friendly.  He could also join an active single or couple, who can provide at least one to two brisk leash walks daily, as well as focussed play time so that Ryder can get the exercise that he needs to get his yayas out.  Ryder has good house manners, and is house trained and crate trained. Adopters should expect to troubleshoot the occasional accident that will inevitably occur during his transition to a new home. He has been neutered, and has received routine vaccinations and health screenings. If you are interested in Ryder, please write to Angelsfrgod@aol.com or call/text Denise at 860-908-9738 for more info.

Our Watson is a mild mannered, good ol’ boy who has shown us a lot of heart. He was surrendered by his pregnant owner, who became strapped for time. Eight years old, Watson found himself in a Connecticut Animal Control Shelter facing euthansia. Our Shelter contact reported that Watson had suffered some abuse from some of the unsavory men in his owner’s life, but his personality is sweet and his spirit has rebounded.  Watson has quickly adjusted to the chaotic rescue process and has become one of our most beloved fosters. He has grown into a proper Hound busybody with his nose in everybody's affairs.  Watson is a fairly calm boy, who can be shy at first stranger meeting, but warms up into a total lovebug. He would thrive in an active adult home, with folks who can commit to a training and excerise regimen.  Watson is in excellent health and is at a lean weight of 55 pounds. He appears to be a Treeing Walker Coonhound, with classic tri-coloring. He has the Scent Hound tendency to "sniff the roses," and likes to slow down occasionally on his daily walks. Watson has good house manners, and is house trained and crate trained. Adopters should expect to troubleshoot the occasional accident that will inevitably occur during his transition to a new home. He has been neutered, and has received routine vaccinations and health screenings. If you are interested in Watson, please write to Angelsfrgod@aol.com or call or text Denise at 860-908-9738 for more info.

Junebug is about 2 years old and the SWEETEST girl you will ever hope to meet! In addition to being sweet as a Christmas cookie, she is absolutely gorgeous to look at...with her beautiful face, creative coloring and pork chop ears. She loves to play with her other doggy friends, and we think she'll do best in a home with another doggy friend. We haven't really been able to cat test her, but when she has encountered friends of the feline persuasion, she hasn't been very reactive. Junebug was picked up as a stray in West TN, and we are guessing that she was abandoned because she probably had very little interest in hunting. She knew she wasn't meant to be running the fields and would prefer to have a cozy warm home and snuggly couch. If you're ready to add a snuggly bug to your home, apply to adopt today at www.cprdogs.com. JuneBug is spayed/neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and current on flea/tick and heartworm preventative. All dogs 6 month + receive a Proheart 6 injection at the time of their heartworm test. This provides heartworm prevention for 6 months from the time of that injection. The adoption fee is $500 which includes spay/neuter, up to date vaccinations, flea/tick and heartworm preventatives, and the mandatory CT HB 5368 fee. This dog tested negative for heartworms. Visit our website to see our weekend Events here! Pups with the designated “meet me” next to their names are in CT and ready to attend adoption events. Please check with your adoption coordinator if you are interested in a specific dog prior to coming to an event, as a dog's availability to attend can change at any time. We can not guarantee approval on site at the events, so we recommend applying ahead of time. You can apply at the event, but the application process may not be able to be completed the same day. If you are not pre-approved, you are still welcome to come and meet pups at the event! If you are a MA resident, your new family member is required to go through a mandatory 48 hour quarantine period at our Woburn MA isolation facility. Your new family member will be dropped off by our transport on Thursday and will be ready for you to pick him/her up on Saturday between 11 am-1 pm. An additional $100 fee will be added for any dogs picked up from the Woburn MA quarantine facility. This additional fee is necessary in order to comply with MA Order 405-CD-12 and Order 1-AHO-05. TO APPLY PLEASE GO TO www.cprdogs.com. If your application was successfully submitted you will get a confirmation. Please DO NOT USE the ADOPTAPET "CONTACT THIS RESCUE GROUP" form below or you may not hear from us as these often end up in spam or bouncing back.

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. When she notices high-interest prey such as cats, squirrels, or foxes, she can pull suddenly and with strength, so a confident handler and supportive walking tools are important for comfortable outings. 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! Content Notice: This pet is represented by Joyful Pets.

WE ARE A TX-BASED RESCUE. THIS DOG IS CURRENTLY LOCATED IN TX AND WILL BE TRANSPORTED UPON ADOPTION. Please fill out an adoption application at haydudeequine.org 🌟🐾 Meet Gypsy — Short Legs, Big Heart, Still Waiting 💛🐾 Gypsy has been waiting… and waiting… and waiting. And honestly? She’s waited far too long for a girl this special. At 2 years old and 28 pounds, Gypsy is a delightful blend of Cattle Dog smarts and Basset Hound charm — think low-rider body, big-dog energy, and a personality that could light up a room. She’s basically the off-road model of a best friend: compact, sturdy, and always ready for an adventure. Gypsy LOVES her walks and is getting better and better on leash every day. She’s happiest when she’s outside, exploring the yard, supervising chores, or keeping an eye out for squirrels (her self-appointed job, and she takes it very seriously). When playtime winds down, she’s just as content following her favorite human around like a loyal little shadow. She’s playful, affectionate, and full of goofy charm. Toys are fun. Shoelaces are very intriguing. And her signature low-rider zoomies? Absolutely legendary. 🐾 Gypsy’s Highlights: ✅ 2 years old, 28 lbs ✅ Dog-friendly ✅ House & crate trained ✅ Loves walks and outdoor time ✅ Sweet, silly, and full of personality ✅ Equal parts sass, snuggles, and sunshine While Gypsy does great with other dogs, cats are an unknown — mostly because Gypsy believes squirrels are public enemy #1 — so she may prefer a home without feline roommates. What Gypsy really wants, though, isn’t much. She wants a family who will love her quirks, laugh at her goofy legs, and finally give her the forever home she’s been patiently waiting for. She’s ready to be someone’s hiking buddy, couch companion, and daily dose of happiness. 💛 Gypsy has so much love to give — she just needs someone to give her a chance. Short legs. Big heart. Endless loyalty. ✨ Apply today at haydudeequine.org and let Gypsy finally stop waiting and start living the life she deserves. 🐾💛

We've received glowing feedback from veterinarians who commend our dedication to ensuring the health and well-being of every animal in our care with treatments that often go above and beyond. Our adoption fees reflect the extensive care and resources that go into each animal we save. The adoption fee is a donation to the mission and goes far beyond getting a fully vetted pet.  The rescue’s hard costs alone (excluding transport) for a healthy dog to go through our program typically range between $412 to $859, which includes boarding, food, medications, vaccines, and spay/neuter. For heartworm-positive dogs, hard costs are upwards of $1,368. Additionally, dogs requiring extended boarding, extra training, or extra medical care—such as dental work, vision care, or orthopedic care—can lead to expenses running into the thousands. Also, included in the adoption fee are costs to cover transport up to the Pacific Northwest or East Coast. Transport is a significant additional expense to the rescue.  While adoption fees help cover part of these expenses, we want to emphasize that the rescue does not receive government funding and must fundraise to offset the remaining expense balance which ranges $100-1,000++ per animal on these direct costs.
