Sammie
Sammie is a friendly and engaging bluetick coonhound who was found wandering in downtown Boston. She was unclaimed after several weeks. Sammie is a sweet and gentle hound girl, and very resilient for all she's been through. She likes attention from people and might prod you to get some petting. She gets along with the other dog at her foster home and sleeps through the night in her foster's bed. She is learning to tolerate her crate and is crated now when the fosters go out. Sammie is housebroken, she knows a few commands like 'Sit', treat', and 'out'. She loves being out in the fenced yard and lying in the sun. She's very energetic and fast and enjoys a good run. Sammie sometimes shows her submissive side and will not dominate you physically. She doesn't bark a lot but may bark at passing trucks, people and other dogs. She has met a number of people on her walks and is always friendly. Sammie will benefit from some structure and continued training in her new home, to help her be the great hound that she can be. She's a petite hound and was underweight when she was found wandering. She's put some weight on but will not be more than 45 lbs. We are having a vet estimate her age, but based on estimates from animal control, she is not more than 6 yrs old. Sammie will make a great companion and is available for visits in north central Massachusetts.
McChicken - Adopted
Here's a cute little 4 month old hound puppy. She was found wandering with some other similar pups in the area. McChicken is an adorable, active pup. She's very excited to meet new people and other dogs. McChicken is spending a couple of weeks in a board and train program so get a head start on obedience command and manners before transport to Massachusetts. She will arrive Sept 7. McChicken is a healthy little dog and should have an adult weight around 45 lbs.
Admiral - Adopted
Admiral is a handsome young Bloodhound from West Virginia. He has a calm and steady personality, is friendly and good with other dogs. Admiral is about 2.5 years old and weighs about 75 lbs. Arriving Sept 14.
Giselle
Giselle is a beautiful hound girl from Virginia. She's very sweet and affectionate; a little shy at first but loves attention and warms up quickly. In her Virginia foster home, she was a typical young hound, active, jumping around her pen, and loved to chase deer, rabbits, squirrels, and cats, but is not aggressive. She may be able to be trained to live with a cat. Giselle has arrived in Massachusetts and is getting settled in her foster home here. She loves to nap in the sunshine and enjoys her leash walks. She's good on the leash and loves to sniff along the way. Giselle gets along with the dogs in her foster home and would probably do best in a home with another dog. Giselle loves her food but has not displayed any aggression around food. She's still a little tentative in new situations and we think she'd be fine with older kids. She can jump vertically so will need a sturdy fence, although she has not shown any desire to escape in her foster home. She has potential to be a great pet and companion with a little patience and TLC. She is about 3 yrs old and weighs about 52 lbs. Giselle has arrived and is ready for visits south of Boston.

Pearl - Adopted
Pearl is a very special foxhound whose broken leg and broken spirit have been healing in the care of her wonderful foster in Virginia. Pearl was found limping by the side of the road and was brought in to the county shelter. Her leg was broken in two places s but is healing well and she should have full mobility. Pearl was very timid initially, but has gained confidence and is learning to trust new people. She's a quiet hound girl, housebroken, and walks well on leash. She likes to take her time and enjoys sniffing her way along. She seems fine around cats. Children scare her and she will retreat from them trembling, so she'll do best in an adult home. She gets along well with other dogs and like to lie in the sun in a fenced yard. Pearl has some separation anxiety when her people leave, she may whine a bit, but has not been destructive. She's learned to enjoy being petted and especially likes having her neck and ears stroked. Pearl is 3 - 4 years old and will be arriving in New England Sept 14.
Clyde
Clyde is a loving, friendly hound who enjoys attention from everyone. He walked in the local parade and happily greeted everyone - what a great coonhound ambassador ! Clyde is about 5 years old and weighs about 60 lbs. He's an energetic hound who an would love an active playmate and a fenced yard or an adopter who will get him out for walks several times a day. Clyde is housebroken, knows some obedience commands and is good with other dogs. Clyde is ready for visits in southern NH.
Dylan
Dylan is a very special foxhound looking for that special someone to give him a Forever home. Dylan is a tripod as a result of his front leg getting tangled in some fence wire. By the time he was discovered with his severe injuries, the leg could not be saved. But that is all behind him now and he's ready for his new life. He gets around fine and enjoys playing with the other dogs at his foster home on a farm in Virginia. He likes to hang out in the sun, watch the farm animals, and snuggle into soft places to sleep. He's affectionate and friendly around people. Dylan is about 3 years old and weighs about 45 lbs. Ready for transport to Massachusetts.

Hank and Loretta
Age: 7 years (siblings)
Breed: Bluetick Coonhound
Male and Female: Spayed and neutered
Meet this cute pair of Bluetick hounds! Hank and Loretta are a sweet brother and sister pair that would love a big fenced yard to run around in. They do great with kids but have not spent much time with cats and dogs so that is unknown. Slow introductions with other pets would be key to ensure a good match. Hank and Loretta are very friendly and happy to snuggle on the couch with their people. These two know commands come, sit and stay and would make great hound companions. These two healthy hounds LOVE walks and both do well on a leash (so maybe a double leash for the two of them would be ideal) and they are crate trained. They would ideally be adopted together since they are close siblings. These two are available for visits in Windham, CT.

Max
Hank and Loretta
Phillip
Age: 4 years old
Weight: 70 lbs
Breed: Treeing Walker Coonhound Mix
Color: White, tan and black
Gender: Male (neutered)
Introducing Max! Just look at those puppy dog eyes! You're going to want to meet this 4 year old beautiful and friendly hound boy! Max is looking for a new home where he can play freely in a large, fenced yard. Since Max likes to explore and challenges containment, he needs a secure, tall fence to keep him safe and needs to be leashed with a harness while on walks. Max would do best with a family that can spend lots of time with him, play in the yard and go for walks. Max is great with kids and other dogs. He's also very gentle with young kids and babies. He is a very social boy and has spent time with different people and dogs in doggie daycare. Max understands commands such as sit, down and paw. Max will come to you especially with food in hand since he, like many hounds, is very food motivated which makes him extra trainable :-) Max is leash trained but since he follows his nose tends to pull so he would need consistency in leash etiquette and a "no pull' style leash. Max needs to keep busy and is very fast on his feet. Max needs lots of doggie activities to keep him stimulated and happy. Max is crate trained but prefers to be free to run around a secure yard. Max will make an amazing addition to an active family that can play with him and keep him company at home. Max is available for visits in Phillipsburg/Lopatcong New Jersey.

Phillip
Phillip
Phillip
Age: 4 years old
Weight: 105 lbs
Breed: Hound/Pyrenees mix
Gender: Male neutered
Phillip is a 4 year old male Treeing Walker Coonhound/ Great Pyrenees. He is neutered & up to date on all vaccines. He is a loyal family man who enjoys a good ole Sunday dump run. As his breed suggests, he is a protector of his people, so may be weary of strangers at first introduction. He does well with other dogs but would do best alone, or with a single low energy companion. His dream family would have a fenced in yard so he could leisurely roam. If all other boxes are checked, he is very respectful of electric fence & great on a leash.
Phillip has the sweetest eyes - and when he’s belly up at night on the couch, he loves belly rubs. This guy is looking for a new home simply because crazy farm life doesn’t suit his newly diagnosed Addisons disease. Instead, he’s looking to transition to a stress free home where he can kick up his feet and relax. He will require daily medication (which he takes very eagerly) and a monthly injection to keep his body content. Phillip is available for visits in Southeastern CT contact Lindsay at 860-235-6523 or lindsayashafer@gmail.com
Darla
Phillip
Cooper
Age: 1 year old - DOB Jan 31st 2023
Weight: 45 lbs
Color: Black and Tan Coonhound/Treeing mix
Gender: Female - spayed
You're going to want to meet this sweet, loving and beautiful young hound pup! Darla is a very vocal and energetic girl that needs a home with teenagers and adults that can spend some one-on-one time with her. Darla would be best as an only dog and since she has so much energy she might be too excitable for small children. Darla may be shy with strangers at first but she is very loving and devoted to those she comes to know. Since she is still a puppy she naturally likes to mouth and (like all puppies) will need some training on how to be a mature girl for nail trimming and other grooming tasks. Darla needs activities to keep her puppy energy at bay and loves to chew on bone marrows when bored or by herself. She is very treat-driven so she will listen to commands very well if she knows a reward will be given. She knows “sit, lay down, shake (paw), come here” although, come here is mostly an outside command. Darla would be safest in a fenced yard since her nose will lead her to many interesting things. Darla does well on a leash for walking and needs to be on a leash for going potty. She is a great dog for active people that go on adventures outside. Darla is her best self when one-on-one with her people and would make a wonderful hound companion for a couple or single person looking to add a family member to their pack. Darla is available for visits in Northern Maine. Please contact Olivia for more information at email: sancholi14@icloud.com or call: 207-227-2067.

Bubba
Fern and Juniper
Bubba
Name: Bubba
Age: 4 years
Gender: Male
Breed: Treeing Walker Coonhound
Size: Medium - 70lbs
Meet sweet Bubba! A dog with a lovely personality and disposition that LOVES people. He lived with a cat and chickens and did great with them. He has been trained in leash walking, knows sit and even has an automatic sit. He has spent time in the house and did not have accidents. He absolutely LOVES riding in a truck. He went to work with his family members on job sites and was either in the truck or tethered to it and does not bark, he is very good. He has gotten loose and doesn't go far if he leaves the yard at all, he knows where home is and wants to be with his people. He has had leash training and knows basic commands. You have to be more stubborn than he is to really see how well trained he actually is, he is wicked smart. Bubba needs to be an only dog as (even though he seems to like other dogs) he sometimes doesn't express himself appropriately with too much mouthing and grabbing when he gets excited. Bubba needs to be neutered and is a healthy boy. He would be a wonderful companion for someone who drives for a living. Come and meet this sweet boy that would love to be your new best friend. Bubba is located in Readfield, Maine for a meet and greet. Please contact Mandy Melanson at email: jypsjuju@gmail.com or call or text at cell: 207-557-3657.
Addie
Fern and Juniper
Bubba
Name: Addie
Age: 2 years old (DOB 11/30/21)
Gender: Female (spayed)
Breed: Treeing Walker Coonhound
Weight: 47 lbs
Addie is a sweet, young hound that needs a new home preferably with a younger family or couple that has the energy to stay active with her. Her current owners are older and have had some health issues so they do not feel they are the best fit for Addie. The current owners love Addie very much, but recognize that she deserves a home better suited to her needs. Addie has been doing great with recall and listening to commands. Addie was a rescue from the South and spent 2 months at a local shelter in MA. She is still food motivated and counter surfs on a regular basis. She is fed Blue Buffalo chicken and brown rice 1 cup two times per day. She loves Pupperoni treats and sugar free peanut butter stuffed in bones. She is house trained. She does not mind being in her crate. She is not a barker but will bark at other dogs or the delivery truck. She can be tied outside and is very quiet. She does slip collars, so she came to us with a martingale collar. She has gotten out of harnesses when on a leash so we use a prong collar. We have worked with a trainer about going into the crate, not rushing exiting doorways/crate, and sit. We are still working on stay and come. She does not have good recall, especially when distracted. We let her off the leash in the woods with the e-collar. She gets along with both male and female dogs, but she can be a bit much for dogs who are shy. When she wants to play, she barks in their faces. At night, she can be hyper for several hours until she settles down. In the car, she whines and is fidgety and must be tied when driving. She has never growled, snapped, or bitten anyone while with us. A strict routine works best for her. She no longer counter surfs as there is no reward of food. She is happy to stay outside in the fenced in area and comes in when called. Addie is not an off leash dog as recall is non-existent when outside and stimulated so a fenced area for her to play is required. Addie would do best in a home without children or cats since she gets very hyper when playing. She needs a calmer young adult or adult to give her the patience needed for appropriate play. She deserves a long and happy life with someone that understands the hound breed and all of the rewards that comes with having a sweet hound companion. Addie will be sent with her crate, toys, and collars. She is microchipped, so that information will have to be swapped over. For more info on this precious girl please email Beth: lweidman@mgb.org to set up a meet and greet. She is located in Sutton/Millbury, MA.
Fern and Juniper
Fern and Juniper
Fern and Juniper
Age: 4 years old
Gender: female
Breed: Treeing Walker Coonhounds
Size: Medium
These two beautiful dogs have been wonderful companions but sadly the current owner cannot continue to provide the care they require due to housing insecurity. Fern (all black back) and Juniper (white t-bone on face) were rescued from the Rhode Island SPCA by their current owner one year apart, and are litter mates, who are approximately 4 years old. Current owner rescued Fern in 2020, and then rescued Juniper one year later when she was returned to the shelter. They could live separately, but do have an attachment to one another that helps with their separation anxiety. Fern acts in the alpha role and resource guards food, so toys with food are best given in separate crates or areas. Juniper is wonderful with children while Fern will get anxious around children and will bark if they interact with her. A household with no other pets or young children is needed. They have both had training through K9 Behavioral Services in Hope Valley RI. They will jump on counters, chew or rip up personal items, and generally won’t come unless a treat is offered. They require crates when left alone because they do experience separation anxiety and will bark. Music or radio or toys with food will help them stay calm in crates when left alone. This bonded pair enjoys time outdoors, and are trained to walk with front harnesses and gentle leaders. They have experienced all levels of exercise from free range roaming with a Garmin tracker system to two big walks on leash per day and ample puzzle games. They have treed a raccoon and other small animals before, and will chase deer. That being said, they are happy to have someone home with them all day and will sleep if comfortable at home. A household that could offer them lots of companionship during the day or a big backyard where they could play and do puzzle games would work, however, they could also be used in trials or pack hunts. They each have their own personalities, but are very typical Treeing Walker Coonhounds. They are alert and focused on prey, while also calming down if given a comfortable place to rest. These two beautiful pups are available for visits in Seekonk Massachusetts. Please contact Emily Leeser via phone, text or email
