All of our rescued dogs are fully vetted: spayed or neutered, up-to-date on vaccines, 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

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.

Autumn

 Meet pretty little Autumn - one of our newest rescues.  Autumn is a petite redtick, about 3 yrs old.  She needs to gain some weight but should not have an ideal weight more than 45 lbs.  Autumn is very sweet and smart. She's already housebroken and using the doggie door at her VA foster home. She has medium prey drive and like most hounds she gets excited when she sees critters, including cats.  She has not shown any aggression however. She's enjoying playing with the other dogs at her foster home.  Autumn will arrive in Massachusetts Nov 1st or 8th. 

Northeast Coonhound Rescue - Empowering Communities

Noah is a very lucky hound who was found in the rural Virgnia woods by a hiker. Noah was badly injured and had a fractured leg and broken jaw, probably the result of being hit by a car.  Noah is now in the care of one of our Virginia fosters.  His jaw has mostly healed and following surgery, his leg is healing and he is expected to make a full recovery. In spite of all he's been through, Noah is a happy, friendly hound .His foster says  'He's a good boy so far, only 2 accidents in the house, is good in the crate and doesn't mind it at all.'  When cat tested, Noah ignored the cat until it growled at him and then he tried to run away.   Noah is going to be a wonderful hound companion.  He's about 3 yrs old and smaller at 40-45 lbs. We expect Noah to arrive in Massachusetts in mid-November.

Rusty

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 sweet disposition and was apparently someone's pet. He's housebroken, does well in a crate and  knows some commands like 'sit' and 'paw'. He loves to play with his toys and enjoys attention from new people.  Rusty can be an escape artist and will need secure leashing and a secure fenced yard.  He has plenty of energy and enjoys his outings  Vets have estimated Rusty's age between 2 and 6 and he weighs about 55 lbs.Rusty has arrived and is available for visits in the Boston area.

Essie - Pending

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.  

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. 

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

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.  For more information on Trapper please contact Jen at Jencross1980@yahoo.com 802-582-8665

Stay tuned for updates! If you can open your home and heart as a foster or adopter to one or more of these sweet dogs please contact Ray Zagurski at 860-584-3087 or email RayZagurski@bristolct.gov or April Yurasek: 808-227-7153 or email: april.yurasek@mac.com

Odin

Maverick

Maverick

    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 

Maverick

Maverick

Maverick

   Age: 5 years old

Breed: Treeing Walker Coonhound

Gender: Male (neutered)

Weight: 80 lbs

Color: Brown, White and Black

Maverick is a very handsome, young and fun loving Coonhound in need of a home.  His current owners have had a change in their housing situation and they are unable to provide Maverick with the space and time he needs to thrive.  Maverick is looking for a home with a fenced yard, people that are home part or most of the day, an active family that can walk him regularly and can give him lots of attention and play time.  Since Maverick has puppy energy at 5 years old, he would do well with other dogs, older children/teens and no cats or other animals.  Maverick definitely needs space to run and stretch his legs.  Maverick is crate trained and will often sleep through the afternoon.  It is important Maverick finds a home where he has an outlet for his hound energy.  The ideal home would provide him with ongoing activities and training to keep him stimulated and since he's very food motivated he is very eager to learn new skills.  Maverick already knows basic commands such as sit, lay down, paw, roll over and stay (for short periods of time). He will make a wonderful hound companion for an active person or family.  Maverick is currently in New Jersey.  To learn more about Maverick, please contact Kaitlin at kaitlinchimenti@gmail.com or text: 631-649-2323.
