My story

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

Clementine is a sweet and beautiful Treeing Walker Coonhound female who is about 4 years old and weighs about 62 pounds. She's also spayed, microchipped and current on vaccines and preventatives. She seems to have spent most of her adult life so far producing puppies for or because of negligent, uncaring owners. Clementine was a truly great mom, but now it's her time to be the star! She probably didn't get much attention from people before she came into foster care. She's calm and gentle, but she's also starting to relax and reveal her playful and curious side. She's still a bit uncomfortable when she comes inside the house, but she's making progress. She'd benefit from a doggie door or some other system that allowed her to come in and out when she wanted as she gets more acclimated to life as an inside dog. She isn't technically house trained, but since she has not lived inside before, she should be able to continue her outside potty routine with some guidance and positive reinforcement. Clementine would enjoy a friendly companion dog to help her adjust to household routines and be a playmate.

She is very good on a leash and loves going for walks! For a hound, she has not been especially focused on following her nose, but she has been able to scale a 4-5 ft. wire fence. She hasn't run off, but a higher fence, a solid wood privacy fence, and/or other means of safe containment will be needed. She has not yet been tested with children or cats, but we'd recommend her for older children simply because she's a big girl.

If you are interested in giving "Darling Clementine" her best life, please contact her foster home by email at blairhsow@gmail.com if you have any questions. If you'd like to be considered for meeting and possibly adopting Clementine, please complete and submit this application: https://www.humanesocietyofwilkes.org/adopt/application To ensure your application was received, please email the foster home.
