My story

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

Meet Slim!


Age: 7 years

Breed: Black and Tan Hound

Arrived: April 2024


Slim is a gentle and sweet hound dog who’s looking for a calm and loving home ??. Although he’s been on behavior medication and initially fearful in his kennel, Slim is much happier and more relaxed when he’s outside of it.


Personality:


Gentle and Social: In playgroups, Slim is gentle and dainty. He’s social but usually prefers to keep to himself.

Leash Skills: Slim pulls on the leash during walks and prefers not to take breaks. He shows curiosity about his surroundings but does not chase wildlife.

Not Treat Motivated: Slim is not very interested in treats, so positive reinforcement may need to focus on other rewards or methods.

Basic Commands: He knows basic commands like stay and come.


Behavior in the Kennel:


Fearful: Slim is fearful in his kennel and takes medication for his behavior. He has become less fearful over time but is much happier when he is out of the kennel.


Looking For:

Slim would do best in a home where he can feel safe and relaxed. A calm environment with understanding and patient owners who can help him continue to build confidence will be ideal. He’s a sweet companion who will thrive with a loving family who can provide him with the comfort he needs.

More about this shelter

Marion County Animal Services is the largest animal shelter in our county. Operating as a no-kill shelter, our kennels are almost always full. We provide adoption, fostering opportunities, work with rescues, accept volunteers and provide the training for veterinary assisting students. In addition, we run the Neuter Commuter and provide all animal control services in Marion County.
Due to the sheer volume of animals in our care, we need lots of help from our community in our effort to adopt out more and save more!
We don't only accept the ideal animals into our shelter. We can offer you quite the array of animal breeds and personalites! Keep an open mind when visiting our shelter- you may find that your perfect match is not at all what you set out to find.
We're here to help you as well as our homeless and lovable animals.
