Female Dog, Treeing Walker Coonhound
Treeing Walker Coonhound / Hound (Medium Coat)
Description:
AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION! Liberty is an absolutely stunning 2-3 year old Treeing Walker Coonhound who is a solid 60lbs. She is so sweet and loves to snuggle with her people and dog friends when it’s time to relax. Like many hounds she is curious and likes to explore and police for small critters so a 6ft fence is a must along with a cat-free home. Liberty loves everyone but her play style is better suited for older or sturdier kids. She can be protective of treasured toys (mostly bones or ones that squeak) and is best fed separately, but truly adores other dogs and seems to enjoy being a member of the pack. She might be best paired with a more tolerant canine companion, but does take cues very well when she’s playing too rough for their liking. Liberty would benefit from continued training to modify her protective behavior and work on basic commands. Liberty loves walks and to explore new places and new smells. She walks well on a leash but is still mastering a loose leash. She is not a lover of the crate but will tolerate it for a few hours. She sleeps on a dog bed in her foster’s bedroom and does great there overnight. This hound girl can get mischievous when bored and will look for things to steal so leaving her unattended and uncrated during the day would not be an option right now. Her forever family should have someone who works from home or is only gone a few hours a day so she can be the happiest and best girl. This special lady deserves a home of her own after being stuck and overlooked in an overcrowded shelter for months. She has the sweetest face and soulful eyes along with a charming and silly personality. You can’t help but fall in love with her. ❤️ If Liberty sounds like a great addition to your family, email us at [email protected].

Can you open your heart and home for a few weeks to homeless shelter dog? Remember, by fostering a dog, you save TWO lives — that of your foster dog, and that of the dog who takes his place in the shelter! Come to a Meet & Greet and find out if fostering is for you — there's no reward quite like the feeling that you've saved a life ... or two!
