Northeast Coonhound Rescue

These dogs are in foster care in New England or waiting to come north.  If you are interested, see the Adoption Application page for a link to the appropriate application. All of our rescued dogs are fully vetted: spayed or neutered, up-to-date on shots, tested for heartworm, and intestinal parasites.  They are treated if necessary before being made available for adoption.  Please visit the Adoption Application page to apply.  

Available Dogs

Joel

Joel is a sweet, overweight beagle who was found by a Good Samaritan in Cumberland County, Virginia. His owner could not be located so he reached out to rescue rather than send him to the local shelter. Joel is estimated to be about 3-4 years old and weighs 34 lbs. He is very playful and energetic. He lives for close contact, snuggles and scratches. We suspect he was someone's pet because he seemed confused when offered pellet dog food, but was very interested in table food! Likely the reason he is so chubby! Joel needs an adopter dedicated to helping him shed 5-10 lbs. Joel will be arriving May 21.

Minnie

Minnie is a pretty bluetick coonhound from West Virginia. She was an owner surrender after she had an accidental litter with another resident dog.  All of the puppies found homes and the owners decided to rehome her as well.  Minnie has a sweet disposition and is good with other dogs. She's full of energy, very outgoing and likes to meet new people.  She's about 2 yrs old and weighs about 40-45 lbs.  Minnie has arrived and is ready for visits.

Tammy, Tara and Tate ( Placing Separately)

Tammy, Tara, and Tate are American English Coonhound puppies from Virginia.   They are typical playful, energetic, silly, floppy pups, who love attention and are well socialized with people.  These 3 cute puppies will be just a week over 5 months old when they arrive in Massachusetts on May 21. They currently weigh 25 - 28 lbs and are probably going to be good-sized coonhounds in the 60 - 70 lb range as adults. They were never in a shelter and arrangements were made with the owner/breeder to get them into rescue.

Annie

Annie is a beautiful tricolor coonhound from Tennessee. Her owners left her behind after moving and she was taken in by a good samaritan. Annie is about 3 yrs old and weighs 40 - 45 lbs.  She's housebroken, walks well on a leash, knows some obedience commands,  and good with other dogs. Annie loves attention from her people and would do best in a home with another dog or with someone home during the day.  She likes to curl up and sleep with someone. Annie loves to play fetch ( which is unusual for a hound) and would enjoy a fenced yard and someone who will throw the ball for her.  Available for visits in coastal New Hampshire.

Millburn and Jethro ( Placing seperately) - Adoption Pending Jethro

Millburn and Jethro are part of a group of 4 redtick coonhounds left on a property in rural Virginia. They appear to have been well-cared for and are very trusting and engaging around people.  Both are about 3 yrs old and should have an ideal weight of 45 - 50 lbs. Their current caretakers describe them both as sweet and friendly. Millburn ( left) is a little more mellow; Jethro ( right) is more energetic and an attention seeker.  Millburn and Jethro will arrive in Massachusetts May 14.

Hero and Shoeshine

These two little hound buddies were 'dropped off' in the neighborhood of one of our fosters in Tennessee. After wandering for a few days, they were rounded up and arrangements were made to get them to our rescue.  They appear to have been well cared for, are sociable and engaging with new people, were good with the neighborhood kids and other dogs.  Hero is the larger brindle-colored one, and weighs about 35 lbs; Shoeshine is the smaller red and white one, about 25 lbs. They are about 2 yrs old.   We'd like to keep them together as they are quite bonded and love to play and curl up for naps together. Arriving in Massachusetts in Mid-May.

Ashby

Ashby came to us from a southwest Virginia county animal control. He's a super sweet hound with one blue eye, which makes him very special !   Ashby  loves everyone he meets - both people and dogs.  He's fostering in a home where he's learning house manners, leash walking, and getting used to life as a pet.  Ashby is about 4 yrs old and weighs about 60 lbs. He'll transport to Massachusetts in late May.

Dylan and Taylor ( Placing Separately)

Dylan ( tricolor) and Taylor ( red and white) are 3 month old hound mix puppies, sweet and friendly.  They should have an adult weight  of 40-50lbs.  Arriving in late May.

Angie

Angie is a cute tricolor hound from rural Virginia. She's settling in at her foster home in Massachusetts and is ready for visits !   Annie is a lazy girl and loves to sleep, she enjoys sitting outside in the sun on nice days  Like most hounds, she's  curious and wants to investigate everything, but she's easy to walk on a leash.  She enjoys affections and is starting to feel more comfortable coming up to people for some petting.  Angie is friendly around other dogs and always wants to say hello.  Angie is about 6 yrs old and weighs 57 lbs. 

Laney

Laney is a lemon and white foxhound.  She came to us from a central Virginia shelter where she had been waiting for adoption or rescue for over two months. No reason a pretty, sweet hound girl should be waiting so long for a home! Laney loves other dogs and is always happy to make friends. She walks well on a leash and is gentle and quiet.  Laney is a fast learner and is eager to please.   She can be shy around new people so she'll need a home with some patience and would probably do best with another dog in residence.  Laney will arrive May 7 .

Callie

Callie is a pretty little ticked hound from West Virginia.  She's young at about 1 yr old, but has had a rough start in life and spent the last few months living on a chain.  Callie is now in a Virginia foster home and has made great progress in just a few weeks.  She's housebroken, has learned to walk nicely on a leash, and is becoming more confident about   the scary things in houses:  stairs, the basement, and machines that beep and buzz. She loves her foster Mom and likes to curl up on her bed. Callie is going to blossom into a great hound companion.  Her ideal home would be one where she can take her time getting accustomed to new things and new people.  She's not aggressive at all but is tends to want to run from anything that scares her. She'd prefer a home without noisy young children, and without cats. Callie will arrive  May 7

Jed - Adoption Pending

Jake is a 2 year old redtick coonhound who was found on a Virginia property with 4 other redticks ( Lady and  Ellie Mae also from that group).  Jed is a quiet hound boy who has great manners around people. He can be shy when meeting people for the first time, but he has typical hound curiosity and loves to investigate new places. Jed is great with other dogs and would do well in a home with another canine friend.  Jed will arrive in Massachusetts 5/6

Duke

Duke is an owner surrender from Virginia. He was adopted as a puppy 2 years ago by a family that thought their son might hunt with him. That didn't happen and so Duke is looking for a home. He has a sweet and endearing personality, he's comfortable meeting new people and appreciates attention. Duke has been good around the office cats at the kennel. He walks well on a leash and is quite an easy companion to have around.  Duke is about 2 yrs old and weighs 65 lbs.   Duke has arrived and is ready for visits.

Dahlia

Dahlia is a beautiful, sweet Foxhound from Louisiana. She is about 2 years old and weighs about 45 lbs. She is timid around new people at first, but warms up once she knows you. She seeks out affection and loves attention. In fact, she often nudges her foster mom for some ear scratches. Dahlia loves toys and likes to collect them. She sleeps in bed with her fosters where she likes to have a stuffed toy for comfort.  Dahlia  will be a wonderful addition to a home with another playful dog.  Dahlia is being fostered in New Hampshire and is available for visits.

Tess

Tess is a snuggly beagle/hound mix from Virginia. She is 8 months old, weighs 32 lbs. She gets along great with other dogs. She can be a little timid at first, but warms up quickly and is friendly. Tess gets very excited for food and can be a little jumpy, but is working on her manners. She walks well on a leash and generally likes to be with her people. We're not sure if she actually knows her name, but she does come when called. Another dog in the home is required. She is jumpy so no children under 6. Tess is being fostered in western Massachusetts and is available for visits. 

Terri

Terri is a sweet, affectionate beagle/hound mix from Virginia. She is 8 months old, weighs 36 lbs and is doing great at her foster home. She is fitting right in and LOVES the other dogs there. Her foster dad says "she is going to make someone a wonderful dog". Terri has a great disposition, is very friendly with other dogs and people. She tended to stick close to people at the beginning, however, as she's gotten more comfortable, she is beginning to wander. Therefore, a fenced in yard is preferred. No invisible fences.   Like most strays, she eats like she's never been fed before! She can get jumpy around food, but once she realizes she doesn't have to worry about her next meal, she will settle down. She is doing well with house training, and sleeps through the night in her favorite chair. Due to her jumpiness and size, no children under 6. Another dog in the home is required. Terri is being fostered in central New Hampshire and is available for visits.

COURTESY LISTINGS

The dogs on this page that are identified as courtesy listings are listed as a service to other rescue groups or for owners who need to place their dog but will keep them until a suitable home is found.  Northeast Coonhound Rescue has not evaluated these dogs and makes no claims as to their suitability for adoption.  All negotiations and arrangements for meeting will be made between the adopter and the person or rescue in possession of the dog. 

Rip

Trigger

Trigger

Rip is a 6 month old bluetick coonhound puppy who was purchased from a breeder in Texas.  He is neutered, loves other dogs, and is housebroken.  He goes into    a kennel when his owners leave the house and sleeps in their bed. He is great with the kids, but shouldn’t be trusted alone with kids at this point. He loves the other resident large older dog.   Rip has developed some resource guarding behaviors and needs an owner who can get on top of this behavior asap.  Rip can be a great dog in the right hands - he is young and facing euthanasia unless a capable owner can be found. Please contact cgiaquinto26@yahoo.com

Trigger

Trigger

Trigger

Trigger is a handsome, 4 year old treeing walker coonhound at Monadnock Humane Society in Swanzey NH.  This friendly boy  has charmed all of the staff and volunteers he has met!  He just loves the outdoors and to put his nose to use following a good scent! Trigger would make an excellent hiking or hunting partner.  He'd be most content being the only doggo in your home. We also recommend a home without cats or young children.  Trigger is a great boy, looking for his second chance home. His adoption fee is $300 and due at the time of adoption.  If you want to pull the trigger and adopt this sweet guy, please contact the adoption center at 603.354.4004 for more information and to set up a time to meet !

Bones

Trigger

Bones

Bones is a super sweet 3 year old, neutered, Coonhound and in excellent health.  Bones weighs about 104lbs. He is great dog and a "big baby" who loves to be tucked in at night with a blanket over him. Bones can be quite excitable and would do better without very small children in the house that could be toppled over.  Bones shares his current home with two other dogs. He gets along fine with them and also loves playing with toys.  When Bones is left at home he does fine without a crate.  In fact, he prefers not being crated. He is housebroken, friendly around people, and sometimes over friendly meeting new dogs.  When Bones goes to doggie day care or stays overnight, he loves being with other dogs .  Bones loves going for hikes and he is trained to a beep collar.  He even helped assist his owner out of the woods once on a hike. He definitely knows how to use his nose!   Location: Pawkatuck, CT  email:jbplowbiz@yahoo.com

Rory

Rupert

Bones

Meet Rory the Red Queen - part royalty on her throne, part Irish footballer, part kangaroo, all rolled into this 35 lb. Treeing Walker Coonhound. Rory is about 5 years old, originally rescued as a malnourished, pregnant stray from Alabama. She was brought to Maine and made available for adoption after her puppies were born in 2019. She has been in a loving home in midcoast Maine for 3 years, living with her owner and a 14 year old border collie mix. Rory is a loving, loyal, mischievous, energetic hound. Rory is being rehomed because her owner is a grandmother of 3 young children who provides long hours of daycare and overnight care for the kids. Rory recently caused a deep facial bruise on the toddler in a near-bite incident. The best home for Rory will be a peaceful home with gentle adults only, no children and no other pets. Rory is comfortable in her crate, goes willingly in there on command of 'Crate', and often goes in on her own. Rory is housebroken and is happiest spending as much time as possible outdoors. Rory's favorite activity is fetching her rope toy and doing zoomies around her fenced yard. 'Miss Alabama' Rory misses that southern heat and loves to lay out in the sun or in front of  a roaring fireplace. Think of Rory as a heat-seeking missile, whether it's in the sun or in front of the fireplace or snuggled in a pile of blankets with her Person. Rory exhibits resource-guarding behavior with respect to her sleeping spots and her Person, and will need a patient owner to work on these issues. She is fine with limit-setting and being crated for short periods when the home gets busy with visitors.  Rory enjoys playing with other dogs of same size and energy-level. Rory sits for treats and sits to get her meals. She is highly food-motivated with her fav treats being meatballs, hotdogs and roasted meats.. Rory needs a large, fenced area to run and explore, and other enrichment to expend her energy, She doesn't have much experience riding in cars. She is fearful of the sounds of gunshots, thunder and fireworks.  Rory is available to meet potential adopters in midcoast Maine. Location: Waldoboro, Maine,  Email Gale at: coffeetalk4444@aol.com

Rupert

Rupert

Rupert

  Meet Rupert,  5 yrs old /80 lbs /neutered /Walker cross hound. Handsome, sensitive, demanding, food driven, friendly boy. He comes from a New Hampshire home with 2 parents, 2 dogs, 2 cats and lots of visitors. He will jump to hug you and check your pockets for any snacks or tissues. He is content to lay in a sunny spot in your house while you work but will greet you when you come home with his food dish in his mouth! Rupert loves car rides but I recommend ear protection for the driver, he prides himself on his howl and can be heard across town!! He enjoys his crate when feeling anxious and needs his crate during family meal time. He is large and will try to help himself to a meal.  I need to undergo surgery and will be non weight bearing for months. Ruperts size, demand, and needs will exceed my abilities.  My hope and prayer is that Rupert will find the right family and home. I love him very much. Location: Epping, NH  Email:jenniferleesudol@gmail.com 

Henry

Rupert

Rupert

Henry is a 2.5 yr old bluetick coonhound mix.   He's neutered,  up to date on vaccines and vetting. He’s housebroken, knows commands “sit” “paw” “down” “heel” “let’s go”.  He loves neck rubs and snuggling on the couch,  and playing chase with other dogs. He chases squirrels and has a nose for foxes who are living in the nearby woods and he will run in circles sniffing the ground if he catches their scent. He is calm otherwise. The home he will thrive in has a big yard and active owners who love hikes and trips to dog parks. Teenagers or older, not small children who might grab food or a toy from him. He turns 3 on July 19.  Contact sue_ben@comcast.net

Rye

Charlie

Charlie

Rye is a happy 3.5 year old Blue Tick Coonhound who is up-to-date on all shots.  He loves to cuddle in bed at night and during the day is ok being crated.  Rye also loves car rides and lets you know when he has to go outside.  We are looking to find a home for him as he has started displaying some behavioral issues now that we have a 1 year old daughter. He can be territorial around her and will go do his business outside but then sometimes will tinkle inside, on occasion.  He also can food guard while eating, so we make sure when he is eating we let him be and not interfere.   We would love to find him a home where he doesn't have small children around as he did not have these issues before our daughter arrived.  Rye loves going for walks and he walks with a head halter. He really is a sweet boy who deserves a family that can give him the attention he needs without him worrying about other small children in the home.    Email:  andrew268dk@gmail.com

Charlie

Charlie

Charlie

Charlie is a 4 year old, 59 lb neutered Coonhound who loves being with his people.  He is a good boy, loves his toys, especially his snake toy which he happily flings.  Charlie is housebroken, is not a picky eater, polite,  and has no use for a crate as he does very well when left alone.  He does have a good amount of energy and would do best in a home without very small children. Charlie would also do best being an only dog where he can be with a family that would like to go for long walks or hikes and can spend time with him.   Charlie is located in Bristol, RI  email: heathernolan85@gmail.com

Susie

Charlie

Gunner

Susie is a healthy, 10 year old, spayed, Treeing Walker Coonhound with such beautiful eyes.  She enjoys going for long walks, is housebroken and crate trained.  While Susie does enjoy being with her humans, she does like her quiet time on her own.  She also likes relaxing on her bed. Susie is needing a new home because her owner is quite elderly and can no longer care for her as she has a lot of energy and endurance for walking. The family of Susie took her in  but there is conflict between the resident dog that is there.  Located near Milford, MA   Please contact: ferrantefamily64@gmail.com

Gunner

Gunner

Gunner

Gunner is a 2 year old, neutered, Treeing Walker Coonhound/Great Pyrenees mix and in excellent health. Gunner weighs 95 pounds. He is a loveable and happy hound that gets along with all people and dogs (unsure of cats). Gunner is gentle and loving with children, though his size may make him clumsy when excited.  Gunner loves activity, and when properly exercised will nap for hours on end.  Gunner loves running trails or going on hikes off leash. On leash, he can be easily excited over scents or other people/dogs.  Gunner loves to lay in the sun and chew on bones. He has a stockpile of bones he loves to gnaw on through the day- nothing makes him prouder than a new bone.  He is well trained and knows many commands.  He is extremely food/treat motivated and will do anything for a treat or ice cube. Gunner is house trained and well-behaved  (doesn't love his crate, often howled in it when left alone). Gunner has not used a crate in quite some time. Gunner would do best in a home with someone who is home often, as he may have some separation anxiety when left alone for long periods.  He loves to cuddle in bed with his people at night, but can sleep well on the floor on his bed when necessary.  Gunner has not ever chewed or had an accident. He does get excited for visitors and jumps and "hugs".    Located in Rochester, NH email: beranger.amyb@gmail.com
