 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.  Please contact Justin Baker phone: 860-942-2632 or email at j.bakerrepair@yahoo.com

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.  Contact Laura Gryzlo for more information.  Call or text (908) 337-1231 or email at lstupi85@gmail.com

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  

 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.  

 Name: Cooper

Age: 5

Weight: 45 lbs

Gender: Male (neutered)

Breed: Coonhound Mix - Black and Tan

Meet adorable Cooper!  He is a 5 year old Black and Tan Coonhound Mix.  He is a very energetic, lovable dog.  Cooper's current family has endured changes in the home that don't allow them to give Cooper the time and attention he deserves.  Cooper is looking for a home with someone who can give him love and attention.  Cooper would do best in a big, fenced yard to run and play in.  He needs a family/person who enjoys going outdoors with him for walks and playtime.  Cooper is a fully trained, happy and energetic dog that has the instincts of a hunting companion dog by breed.  He can be skittish when he first meets new people but will warm up and trust quickly.  If you're looking for a hound companion, Cooper is your boy and he can't wait to be your furry best friend.  Cooper is available for visits in Sewell, New Jersey.  Please contact Zach Barlage at 609-221-0256 or email at zach.barlage@gmail.com 

 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.      

 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

Names: Dancer, Prancer and Clarice

Age: 2

Breed: Foxhound

Gender: Dancer (Male neutered), Prancer (Male neutered), Clarice (Female spayed)

Weight: Medium

These three sweet Foxhounds are seeking a foster or forever home and can be placed separately. 

Dancer is a confident leader and has lots of puppy energy.  While he is very playful he is also very sweet and is known for stealing hearts with his charm. 

Prancer is a very sweet and loving boy that can be shy at first but warms up quickly.  Prancer is more introverted but once he gets to know you will want to stop and cuddle mid walk - so adorable! 

Clarice, the only female out of the three, is very beautiful and sweet little doll!  She may be shy at first but will warm up to new people quickly.  She is an energetic and wiggly girl that loves to smile and show affection with her puppy dog hugs.  She also loves to be petted and loved on. 

All three pups would do best in a home with a fenced yard where they can run around and play safely.  Since they are so young and energetic, they would do well with children over 5 years of age.  They do well with other dogs but would need proper introductions to ensure a good fit.  The pups have not had any experience with other animals such as cats or smaller critters.  These sweethearts are fast learners and are working on leash etiquette and basic commands.  They are also working on being house broken and would benefit from basic puppy training 101.  These lovely Foxhounds will make wonderful hound companions to some lucky folks.  They are all up to date with their vaccines.  Please  contact staff at (401) 294-2754 or email animalshelter@exeterri.gov for more information on our adoption process.

Names: Lexie

Age: 2

Breed: Coonhound Mix

Gender: Female spayed

Weight: Medium 

*Lexie is a two year old coonhound available in Rhode Island. She is spayed, chipped and up to date on all shots. Lexie is crate-trained and housebroken. She has learned to ring a bell when she wants to go out.
She has successfully completed beginners training class where she was a rockstar, and will benefit from more advanced training.
Lexie is capable of counter surfing, but does know it’s wrong, so redirecting her works well.  Lexie needs lots of exercise and toys! She is a hound, so that means she likes to be working and engaging with her environment. If not supplied with toys, she will make some of your prized possessions her toys. So keeping lots of chew bones around is imperative. And keeping things like remote controls out of reach is a good idea!
Lexie loves car rides and adventures!   She must be leashed at all times if not inside a fenced in yard. If you have a fenced in yard it must be STURDY and high. She can jump over a 4ft high fence with ease. And she will look for any weak spots. We always supervise her when outside.
Lexie likes giving and getting affection; she would be best with older children. and could definitely knock over small children with her enthusiasm.
Lexie has been around other dogs and adores them! She can play rough, so a young and/or active pup in the home would be ideal. She has been respectful of the senior dog in the house and gives her a wide berth.
Dog savvy cats that want to play would be okay. If your cat just isn’t that into dogs it would not be a good fit.
