Meet Boots, a beautiful redtick beagle from Kentucky. He was dropped off in the outside kennel at a local shelter so nothing is known about him prior to entering the shelter. What we do know is he is very friendly and LOVES people! He is affectionate and seeks out attention, waiting for someone to sit on the couch so he can cuddle up and get some good hugs.
Boots is about 3 years old and 28 lbs. He enjoys being outside sniffing around. He's very interested in figuring out how to get out of the fence at his foster home so he needs to be supervised when outside. He does well in a crate at night and is almost house trained. Boots likes other dogs, is getting comfortable and beginning to play with other dogs and toys. Another young dog to play with or regular visits to dog parks or doggy daycare would be beneficial for him. He is beginning to get a little too interested in the cat in his foster home so a home with no cats or small critters is best.
Boots is a typical beagle; extremely food motivated and persistent. He needs work on boundaries and manners, but once he learns the rules, he'll be a wonderful member of the family. His adopters will need to be committed to working with him, but will be rewarded for the time and effort spent. Boots will be arriving in Massachusetts on August 13th.
Ginny is an incredibly friendly Treeing Walker Coonhound from Kentucky. A family saw her found dog post on Facebook and took her home thinking she was their lost dog, but soon realized she wasn't their dog and brought her to the local shelter. Ginny is about 2 years old and 50 lbs. She likes other dogs, is active, exuberant and has a nice personality. Ginny will arrive in Massachusetts on 8/13.
Peach is a 2 year old coonhound who came to us from a Kentucky shelter. She's friendly with new people and other dogs. She's currently fostering in Tennessee and her foster says that she will make a great dog for someone. She is not your typical nose to the ground hound. She is more interested in people. She is good on a leash, ignores the cat, and does well in a crate. Peach will be arriving in Massachusetts at the end of August.
Wilma is a friendly, sweet and petite hound mix ( could be beagle mix) from Virginia. Wilma is an easy keeper. She's a very calm hound who will happily hang out indoors. She likes her crate but is not destructive if left uncrated. She likes to sniff around outdoors but prefers to be where her people are. She gets along with the resident dogs at her foster home but would also be fine as an only dog. Her leash walking needs a little work as she easily gets overstimulated and sometimes wants to run - harness or gentle leader will help with leash walking control. Wilma will be a great hound companion for a family or retired couple. Wilma is 2 - 3 yrs old, weighs 39 lbs and is in foster care on Cape Cod.
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 is now in a Rhode Island foster home and is ready for visits. Minnie is a sweet, curious, playful hound girl. She's full of energy, very outgoing and likes to meet new people. She enjoys running, playing chase and tumbling with the other young dog at her foster home. She's housebroken, rides well in the car, and has learned commands like 'sit' and 'paws off' ( the counter). Minnie sleeps all night in her crate and is also comfortable going there for rest periods. Minnie will do well as an only dog or with another dog for play and companionship. She requires a 6 ft fence for containment. She's about 2 yrs old and weighs about 40-45 lbs.
SPECIAL NEEDS - Cooper is a 3 - 4 yr old treeing walker coonhound with severe vision loss. He came to us from Virginia and has been living with a local family for 6 months. Cooper gets along well with other dogs and does great at a doggie day care. He's very cuddly and enjoys his snuggle time; he's fine meeting new people. He's housebroken and walks nicely on a leash. Cooper does well in the car and will jump right into the backseat. Care should be taken around Cooper when he's sleeping or resting as he does not like to be startled and may not want to be disturbed. He'll need structure and routine in a new home and we are seeking someone with experience with vision impaired dogs. Hound experience also helpful. Cooper is located north of Boston - we will transport for the right home.
Meet Ross, a tan/white coonhound, about 3yrs old and weighing 45 lbs. He was adopted in February by a Virginia family who found that he was a bit much with 3 young children and no fenced yard. Ross is friendly and a relatively calm hound dog. He is a good dog, house-trained, great with kids, other dogs and cats. Ross has arrived in Massachusetts and is ready for visits.
Buzz is a handsome bluetick coonhound who has been living with a family in Virginia. He's housebroken, knows commands, and is good walking on a leash. Buzz loves cuddling on the couch with his people, riding in the car, and playing outside in a fenced yard. He's a well-socialized hound who gets along fine with other dogs. Buzz will sit nicely while his food is put down in front of him. He should be fed seperately as he doesn't like others bothering his food. Buzz is about 4 yrs old. Buzz's previous owners provided a nice letter regarding his personality and behaviors. He's ready for transport from Virginia for an available adopter.
Hero and Shoeshine are a bonded pair of hound mixes who were apparently dumped in the neighborhood of one of our Tennessee fosters a few months ago. They've made the trip to Massachusetts and have been in a foster home the past couple of months. The two are about 2 years old, Hero has brindle coloring and is larger at about 35 lbs. Shoeshine is red and white and about 25 lbs. These two love to hang out with one another, sleep together and enjoy frequent play sessions, wrestling and chasing. They will keep you amused with their puppyish antics ! They like their chew toys and may find other things to chew if not supervised. They've had some training in their current foster home, have learned some manners and are mostly housebroken. They sleep nicely in crates and are pretty good on leash. An ideal home for Hero and Shoeshine would have a fenced yard and people around during the day. Hero and Shoeshine are available for visits in central Massachusetts.
Allie is a redtick coonhound from Tennessee. She's a happy, friendly puppy who loves attention. Allie is active and playful, good with other dogs. Currently she's living with Millie and the two would make a nice pair but may also be adopted separately. Ailie is 1 - 2 yrs old. She'll have an ideal weight of 45 - 50 lbs. Arriving in mid-July.
Callie is a pretty little bluetick 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 has made a lot of progress in her foster home. She's housebroken, has learned to walk nicely on a leash, and is becoming more confident. Callie is already blossoming into great hound companion. She gets along well with the dogs in her foster home, she loves snuggling up with her fosters, running and playing in the yard . Callie is an easy keeper - she sleeps quietly in her crate, is not barky or demanding and has never shown any aggression towards people or other dogs.

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.

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
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”.

Please help this sweet boy get out of boarding and into a loving home! He is the perfect companion dog that is low maintenance. Cooper is an approximately 6-year-old male Hound dog that was saved from a kill shelter in South Carolina. Cooper loves to go on long walks where he can sniff anything and everything, like Hounds do. He also is very content sunbathing outside and taking long naps in a comfy dog bed, or your couch if you allow! He is always happy, sweet, and is very well-behaved in the home. He knows no strangers and loves meeting new people. He will be your best friend if you scratch his back. Cooper is approximately 65 pounds, housebroken, and walks well on-leash. He is up-to-date on all shots and preventatives. Unfortunately, Cooper had a predatory reaction to our newborn, requiring us to make this terribly difficult decision. Prior to the baby being born, he lived great in the home with 2 adults and a same-sized female Pitbull mix. He would be perfect for a single person, couple, or family without babies or young children. Teenager or older would be best. Ideally he’d do great in a home with a fenced yard and no small dogs or cats. Cooper is currently in the NJ/NY area, however transport will be arranged if you are out of state. If you are even remotely interested in this great guy, please either email me at madelynnfretto@gmail.com

Charlie is located in Bristol, RI email: heathernolan85@gmail.com
