My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:
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.

About our rescue
We are a foster based rescue. Our dogs are in foster homes throughout the area or in some cases in the south waiting to be transported north. We do not have a physical shelter. However, meet and greets are set up for approved applicants.
Our Adoption Process
Visit our website www.necoonhoundrescue.org for information about the Coonhound and Beagle breeds. Read ‘Is a Coonhound Right for You’.
If you'd like to apply, our application is available at the link above. Once we review your application one of our Adoption Counselors will be in touch to review it with you. Once the phone interview is completed, we will check your vet reference as well as a personal reference and conduct a home visit.
