Alice Mae
Alice Mae is a young petite bluetick coonhound, probably around 1 yr old. She's barely out of puppyhood, and like all pups she's full of energy and loves to play. She enjoys zooming around a fenced area and chasing other dogs; she's floppy and silly; she like to chew things; she's inquisitive and curious. Alice learns quickly - she already knows to sit for a treat and when you put her leash on. She's very cuddly, she likes being petted and held by her favorite people. Alice is a typical affectionate, friendly bluetick who will make a great companion. Alice Mae has arrived in Massachusetts and is ready for visits.
Wesley
Wesley is a handsome young bluetick English Coonhound from Kentucky. He's goofy and floppy and playful. Sometimes he looks very gangley on his tall legs - and sometimes he looks quite elegant. Wesley has a steady temperment. He handled his transport to New England very calmly and fit right in with the pack at his first foster home. Wesley likes to play with other dogs, and is very engaging with new people. He likes to ride in the car and is soon asleep in the back seat. He is crate-trained and seems to be housebroken - it seems that he may have been someone's pet and not an outside pack dog. Wesley is still quite young, around 1 yr old, and weighs 50 - 55 lbs. Wesley has arrived and is ready for visits.
Oakley
Oakley is a big lovable bluetick coonhound. Oakley is good on a leash, he's very friendly and bonds quickly to new people. He's playful and he likes his walks, but he also likes long naps and is sure to find a comfy spot to curl up near you. Oakley is good around other dogs - he prefers to play with bigger dogs, and he'll walk away from any dog that might give him trouble. We've discovered that Oakley likes the water - he loves to go wading and swim. Oakley is crate-trained and housebroken, he could still use some obedience training. He loves to ride in the ca and gets very excited when someone is holding the car keys. Oakley is going to be a loyal and fun-loving companion. Oakley is in foster care in Massachusetts
Hannah
Hannah is a sweet, bright, female English coonhound, approximately two years old - she has one blue eye and one brown eye. She's a very affectionate, very smart, very high-energy dog. Hannah's energy level and dominant disposition caused problems in her initial foster setting, so she was placed with a local trainer for an extended board and train. She is now crate trained, leash trained, knows basic commands and runs several miles in the woods every day. Hannah is trained on the e-collar and house-broken. Strong breed knowledge is preferred for any potential adopter, and the ability to handle, control, manage and exercise a dominant high-energy dog is mandatory for anyone considering adopting Hannah. A willingness to continue working with Hannah's recent trainer is also strongly preferred. Hannah's athleticism and intelligence make her an excellent candidate for hunting, tracking or nose work. Her sweetness and affectionate nature also make her an excellent candidate for any individual, couple or family with the time, patience and energy to take on a rowdy and rambunctious but very engaging dog.

Baylee
Baylee needs to be rehomed be her owners. She is a 7 month old English coonhound. She's very cute, but like all young pups, she is fiull of energy and will need training. Her owners have this to say about her:
"Baylee is a red and white English coonhound. Her big brown eyes and adorable goofy face touch your heart at first sight. She’s extremely silly! Before she will eat her biscuit she’ll play with it. Rolling around on it and throwing it across the room. It gives whoever is watching a good laugh. She connects with people, though it may take time for them to get use to her, she falls in love right away as long as she’s treated right. She’s very smart though hard headed when it comes to training. Since she’s a puppy she’s hyper and jumps around a lot. Things can go flying including people so you must be careful and watch her constantly. She’s a hunting dog so her nose can get the best of her sometimes. She must be monitored when outside, especially in unfenced areas. Even with her faults she has the potential to become somebody’s special adorable and loving best friend"
Baylee is located northwest of Boston. If interested, please contact Karen at kamayer@parker.com
