Baxter
Baxter is a happy little Beagle, just rescued from central Virginia. Baxter is 5 - 6 yrs old and weighs 27 lbs. He greets new people enthusiastically and has good manners when being petted. Baxter will arrive in Massachusetts Oct 11.
Beauford
Meet Beauford - He's a lemon and white Beagle from Virginia. Beauford is 7-8 yrs old and weighs about 25 lbs. Beauford loves to meet new people and will do his happy dance. He loves petting and attention. We expect Beaufor to make his trip north in mid-October.
Crowley - Not Available
This handsome young Beagle boy is about a year old and weighs about 24 lbs. Crowley takes a little while to warm up in new situations. He's new to his caretakers in Virginia and is still a little shy but is slowly coming out of his shell. He won't come to you asking for petting yet, but he does seem to enjoy attention and shows excitment around people. Crowley loves his food and that should help with some training. He does fine in a crate and seems like he'd be an easy keeper for an older couple or someone in an apartment. He's polite and gentle and he should do well around children although he will probably not enjoy manhandling, pulling, and loud or boisterous kids.
Rusty - Pending
Rusty came to us from rural North Carolina where he was found stray. He's a nice hound who makes friends easily. Rusty has a few battle scars from his hunting days or time on the run, and he's ready to retire and sit on your sofa - maybe yours? Rusty is about 6 yrs old and weighs about 55 lbs. Arriving in mid-Sept.
Essie
Essie was found wandering on the farm of one of our Virginia fosters. Who can resist this little hound girl in need of help? She's about about a year and a half old and weighs 40 lbs now but should have an ideal weight of 45 - 50. Essie has made the trip to Massachusetts and is fostering in a home with 2 other coonhounds, although she loves to play with dogs of all breeds. She's tentative in new situations, and skittish around loud noises. But she loves an opportuity to snuggle with her foster people and is gaining confidence every day. Essie would love a home with another dog ot two. She's gentle and sweet and will blossom with some TLC and patience.
Blue
Blue came to us from a Georgia shelter. His owner developed serous health problems and could not keep him. Blue is a friendly coonhound who's been treated well. He was originally adopted as a puppy and is trusting and likes attention from people. Blue has arrived in New England and has been staying at a local foster home near Albany NY. He's made a lot of progress with training. He is housebroken, crate-trained, sleeps in his crate, and will go in when asked to. Blue is friendly, fun-loving and super excited to meet new people. He loves to snuggle on the couch and is an affectionate companion. Blue can get over-excited and his fosters are working with him on commands to encourage calmer behavior. Blue has learned: sit, down, wait, release, crate, getting his attention in exciting environments, greeting people politely, not biting a toy where your hand is, not going for the food bowl until the trigger word. He's very excited to see other dogs when on leash and will bark and pull. He's not reactive in an aggressive way, but some dogs may not react well to his behavior. Blue's ideal home would be as an only dog; no cats please, older children should be okay. Blue is such a sweet dog. He needs some work still, but with the right folks is going to be the love of their life. Blue is 4 yrs old and weighs about 50 lbs.
Max
Juniper
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. Contact Laura Gryzlo for more information. Call or text (908) 337-1231 or email at lstupi85@gmail.com
Juniper
Juniper
Age: 5
Gender: Female
Breed: Treeing Walker Coonhound
Color: Tri color (brown, white and black)
Weight: 52lbs
Juniper has been waiting a very long time for a loving forever family. Juniper’s sister Fern was adopted recently so now it’s Juniper’s turn. Juniper has been doing really well with her caring friends and caregivers at the RISPCA and has become a staff favorite. This beautiful girl needs a family that can offer her time, love, a fenced yard to play in and a soft place to lay her floppy ears at night. Juniper is a sweet and playful girl. She could spend hours running around and sniffing everything and anything! You'll find that this spunky pup loves treats and is sure to tell you all about it in true hound fashion. That nose could sniff out cookies from a mile away! Juniper has lived successfully with other dogs (including her sister) in the past so (with proper introductions) she may do well with another dog of similar size and energy in her new home. Juniper needs a home without cats, does great with other dogs and older kids because of her energy level. If you're looking for a true loyal companion who would be a fantastic hiking companion, Juniper is your girl! Juniper recently needed surgery for a leg injury due to over exertion while playing. She is recovering nicely under the care of her foster family. Juniper is available for visits by appointment at her foster home through the Rhode Island SPCA in Providence, RI. If you are interested in applying for Juniper, please fill out an adoption application! The application can be found on our website:https://www.rispca.org/adoptable-dogs
Monty
Age: 7.5 years old
Breed: Hound mix
Gender: Male (intact)
Color: White with chestnut/orange markings
Weight: 60 lbs
Monty is a sweet and affectionate boy that is urgently looking for a soft and welcoming place to land. His current owners are elderly and can no longer manage Monty's care so they are hoping to find just the right family to give him a loving home. Monty can be playful and adventurous but is often gentle and calm. He would do well with a person/family who could take him on daily walks and give him opportunities to run and play. Monty needs a secure, high fenced yard for his safety as he is a fence jumper and will go exploring if left unattended. Monty would do well in a home with kids that are ideally old enough to play with him and walk him. He is great with social dogs his own size or larger and (as expected with a hound) has a prey drive for small animals so no small dogs or cats. Monty is healthy and house trained but needs a special diet for his kidneys. Monty's previous owners describe him as a VERY good boy inside the house including very calm and affectionate with his people. Monty's situation is urgent and of no fault of his own. His former owners are desperate for him to go to a family who can provide the care he deserves. He will make a great hound companion for anyone looking for a love bug of a pup. Mister Monty is available for visits in Holliston, MA. For more information on Monty please contact Karen at 413-629-8152.
Bailey
Mo and Copper
Age: 6 years old
Breed: Redbone hound
Color: Red
Gender: Female (spayed)
Weight: 80lbs
Meet sweet and lovable Bailey! Bailey is a beautiful Redbone Coonhound that is looking for a quieter home with people that are around a lot and don't have too many unfamiliar people coming and going. She would do best in a home with a large fenced yard so she could run around freely and get her exercise. Bailey is not motivated by many things but she does enjoy Colby Jack cheese. Bailey is great with all people of all ages including kids. Bailey does get very nervous on initial visits with new people coming to the house but she warms up quickly and becomes very comfortable with anyone. She just needs time to get to know you and then you'll have a buddy for life. She also does very well with dogs and cats. Since Bailey has anxiety surrounding being left alone she needs a special family or person that perhaps works from home, is retired or has a family member at home most of the time. Bailey becomes very bonded with her trusted people and needs some reassurance that she is close to her people and safe. She is a beautiful girl that deserves the best life in an environment she can thrive in. Bailey is available for visits in Bangor, Maine. If you are interested in learning more about Bailey, please contact Kate at 207-747-9073

Trapper
Mo and Copper
Mo and Copper
Age: 4 years old
Breed: Redbone hound
Gender: Male
Color: Reddish brown
Weight: 70lbs
Trapper is a beautiful and loving hound dog who needs to find a new home. His current family was forced to leave their home of ten years which they were renting and was recently sold. They unfortunately are unable to bring Trapper into their new living situation. The family is heartbroken by this but want Trapper to have a safe and stable place to live his best life. Trapper is wonderful with kids and adults of all ages. He needs a home without cats. He would need to be tested with other dogs as he is not always sure about other dogs. He would probably do best as an only dog or possibly with another dog he can get to know with proper introductions. Trapper has learned many commands and knows sit, lay down, paw, no, leave it. He is crate trained and house trained. Trapper is great on a runner and in a fenced in area. He needs a fenced yard as he has a nose for exploring. Some of Trapper's favorite activities include playing catch, tug of war and being outside in all kinds of weather. He'd benefit from reminders to come inside when it is too hot or cold for him to be outdoors. He'd do great with an outdoorsy family with a doggie door and a large fenced yard. While Trapper likes being outside he is also happy to cuddle with his people on the couch with a book or for a movie. Trapper is located in Swanton, Vermont.

Holly
Ozzie
Ozzie
Age: 7 yo
Breed: Bluetick Coonhound
Gender: Female (spayed)
Color: Black, brown and white
Weight: 45 lbs
Attention Bluetick hound lovers or any hound lover for that matter! Holly is a VERY PRETTY and SWEET Bluetick hound girl and she's looking for a new home. Her current owners rescued Holly 6 years ago hoping to always give her the life she deserves. Due to some unforeseen changes in the current family's situation, they feel they are no longer able to provide Holly with the attention she needs and deserves. Holly deserves to have a family that can spend more time with her and be home more often. The family's work schedule requires they be away from home all day 5 days a week and Holly must stay in her crate during the day due to her separation anxiety. They love Holly and want the best life for her where she can run freely during the day and not be cooped up in her crate. Holly's wish list includes a person, couple or family with older kids/teens as Holly has shown signs of discomfort with the toddler becoming more active but loves older kids/teens that understand how to be gentle with her and can help care for her, humans that work from home, are retired and/or can be home part of or most of the day, a fenced in backyard, consistency and a schedule, hikes, treats, belly rubs, ear and chin scritches, a comfy couch and love. Holly is not a dog that loves playing with toys unless that toy includes an edible treat ie; a peanut butter Kong. Holly will seek cuddles by resting her head on her people and will roll onto her back for belly rubs. Holly's adopted dog sibling passed away over a year ago and she misses him very much. Holly would be open to meeting another potential dog sibling with introductions or could also be an only dog. Holly is a gem of a hound that just wants love and maybe some peanut butter. Holly is available for visits in Friendship, Maine. Please contact Philip and Kerianne at cell: 732-245-3394 or email at kerianneandphil@gmail.com.
Odin
Ozzie
Odin
Age: 8 or 9 years old
Weight: 79 lbs
Breed: Plott Hound mix
Color: Brindle
gender: Male (neutered)
Odin is a sweet and beautiful Plott Hound Mix in need of a family who can provide the care he needs to thrive. Unfortunately, his current owner is dealing with some changes in her life situation including expecting a child early next year and can no longer keep up with Odin's needs. Odin loves all people and is super sweet and patient with children. He loves walks and being outside but requires a fenced in yard as he can be an escape artist and will hunt wildlife if let loose. Odin can not live with cats or other animals as he has a high prey drive. While Odin used to live with a cattle dog and loved her very much, he currently doesn't do well with dogs he doesn't know so it would be best for him to be an only dog. Odin's ideal home would be committed to his socialization training to help him in meeting new dogs. He enjoys walks but will pull at times. He loves soft, plush toys and treats. He enjoys Pedigree wet chopped food and dry crunchies. He doesn't like baths but will tolerate them. He's a cuddle bug and loves being near his humans. Odin is hopeful to find a new, loving home, where he's the only animal. Odin is available for meet and greets in Woonsocket, RI. For more information about Odin please contact Ashley via text (preferred) or call (preferred) at 508-245-6504 or email at Emberandodin@gmail.com
