Snoop is an adorable 1 yr old male Beagle who is looking for a new home again. He originally came from a breeder and has been passed around too many times in his young life by people who couldn't accommodate a Beagle puppy. Snoop has a happy personality and seems to view all of this as an adventure. He's friendly with people and other dogs, and has shown no aggression. Snoop has some obedience training and knows 'Sit'. He's housebroken and walks well on leash. He doesn't love the crate but will tolerate it. Snoop also loves to play fetch, which is unusual for a Beagle. He's still very much a puppy and is an insistent playmate with other dogs, which could be aggravating for an older dog. He's full of energy ( when he's not konked out) and will chew things if not given appropriate toys. He's affectionate and loves snuggling with his people. Snoop is petit at about 20 lbs.
Giselle ( left) and KitKat ( right) are two pretty hounds that were dumped in rural Virginia. They are sweet girls who are a little tentative in new situations but warm up quickly. They've been waiting for rescue in a county animal control since May. They are about 3 yrs old. Giselle is slightly bigger at about 52 lbs; KitKat is about 45 lbs. Arriving in Massachusetts in mid-August. We will be placing them separately.

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 in August.
Clyde is our newest coonhound rescue. He's been at a boarding place in Virginia for several months, where he was left by another well-meaning rescue that ultimately couldn't take him. 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 53 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 has arrived and is ready for visits in southern NH.
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.

Name: Rocky
Gender: Male (Neutered)
Color: Brindle (Brown, gray and white coat)
Breed: Plott Hound
Weight: 85 lbs
Rocky is a loving, smart, loyal and mellow Plott Hound boy who has been through a sad and difficult situation recently with the sudden passing of his loving owner. He is a big boy at around 85 lbs and is about 8 and half years old. He is a healthy boy with a beautiful, short brindle coat! Rocky would love a quieter more peaceful home to spend his days. Rocky would do great with older teenagers and adults but prefers to be the only pet in the household, so no doggie siblings please. At this point, Rocky doesn't get along well with other dogs so he will need consistent support and training in helping him feel more comfortable with his dog peers. Rocky is such a good boy with potty time outside and (when not in a fenced yard) does well on a lead line. Some of Rocky's favorite things include walks, meeting new people (Rocky LOVES people), cuddling with his people, being a good listener and hanging out, snuggling up on his favorite recliner, roaming around freely in a fenced yard, and leaning on his people for love, rubs and scritches. Rocky is the sweetest hound boy you could ever meet and can't wait to cuddle with you to his hearts content. Rocky is currently located in Southern New Hampshire and is available for visits.

Introducing Ragnar, a sweet and friendly boy! Ragnar is good with kids and dogs. Lives with 1 cat and is good but likes to chase after it and is "aggressively affectionate. He currently also lives with another dog his size and a 20 lbs Jack Russell. Ragnar is crate trained and sometimes spends the night in a crate. He loves walks but pulls and follows his nose. He does well with a gentle leader that reduces his temptation to pull. Ragnar is a smart and obedient boy that understands commands such as sit, shake and come. Ragnar would make a wonderful hound addition to a lucky family or individual. Ideally he'd have a fenced yard to run around and be safe in. His owner travels a lot for work and feels Ragnar would do well with someone that can spend more time with him. Ragnar is available for visits in New England. Please contact Brian McBride at 413-522-3074 or email at spcmcb88m@gmail.com\Ragnar is located in Western Massachusetts

Gracie is a very gentle, quiet and beautiful Blue-Tick hound girl that is ready to meet you. Gracie has lived with a wonderful and loving family for over three years. She was originally brought in as a foster but then quickly became a part of the family. Due to some significant life changes, the very caring family has decided to find Gracie a home where she can continue to live a happy and active life. Gracie is about 7 years old and 45 lbs. She is a healthy, active girl that loves walks and play time. Gracie might be shy when meeting new people but warms up quickly. Gracie currently enjoys a fenced in yard but can also walk on a leash. She has never been crated while with her current family. Like most hounds (if not all) she loves mealtime and will become a bit more active when it's time to eat. Sadly, Gracie was once a mistreated hunting dog and might be startled by loud sounds so a quieter home would bring her the most ease. A military veteran or someone that understands PTSD would be a great match for Gracie although she would fit into any home that shows her love, guidance and reassurance. Gracie adores her two dog siblings and even shares her bed with them when she wants to cuddle. Gracie is also very sweet and patient. She has experience living with other rescued dogs and has had wonderful experiences with all of them. Gracie would also be good with children, but has never been observed with cats. Gracie is a docile soul that wants to be your soft place to land and snuggle with on the couch. Can you offer her that comfy spot?
Gracie is located in Burlington, Vermont and available for visits. If interested in meeting Gracie please contact Lea at leaterhune44@gmail.com.
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

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
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

Breed: Black and Tan Coonhound
Gender: Female spayed
Molly is a sweet and engaging Black and Tan Coonhound who really needs a break. She has been passed around through several homes and most recently was found abandoned at a state park in central Massachusetts. Her history became apparent after the people who dropped her off were located. She's in the care of the local Animal Control Officer and this is a courtesy posting. Molly makes friends with people easily; she's outgoing, affectionate and loving. She's pretty calm, housebroken and crates well. Like all hounds, she likes some time outside for tracking and exploring. She behaved well at the vet and has shown no aggression around food. In a home environment, she may not do well with other resident dogs. Molly has been through a lot in the last 6 months. It is not unusual for rescue dogs with this history to be anxious and stressed in yet another new place. Molly needs an experienced dog owner and Hound experience would be a plus. She needs structure and patience, time to build trust and confidence, and a gentle and slow introduction to other animals, children and visitors. She may bond strongly to her primary caregiver in a new home environment but this is easily mitigated by involving everyone, including frequent visitors, in her care and feeding. Molly has a great personality and will be a fun and loving hound companion in the right home. Please contact necoonhoundrescue@gmail.com
Name: Abbie

Color: Brown, black and white
Weight: 70 lbs
Age: 9 years old
Meet Abbie! This sweet, adorable hound gal is looking for an amazing forever home. Her owner passed away recently and sadly the family is not in a position to take her. Abbie is looking for a home with people around to give her love. She is a mature girl now so she is happy to hang out on the couch and snuggle with her people. Abbie likes walks and will go potty while on her leash. Abbie is friendly with strangers and good with other dogs with introductions. She has never really been around kids so would benefit from introductions and prefers a cat free home. Abbie has never spent time in a crate and would love to sleep in a regular dog bed. Abbie would do well with an older, retired couple or a person looking for companionship. Abbie will make the best hound companion and is ready to love and be loved.

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
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
