My story

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

Name, age, breed: Benjamin, 1yr, Bluetick Coonhound

Likes: Treats, and spending time outdoors.

Dislikes: Unknown

What would be the ideal home? Benjamin is suitable for a first time owner. Mandatory obedience training is suggested as Benjamin is young and would benefit from basic training. No apartments due to noise.

Good with other cats? May be possible with the right introduction, as Benjamin is a hound and may be prone to chase.

Good with dogs? He LOVES other dogs, he gets sooo excited when he gets to meet dogs. He would do great with a dog sibling.

Good with children? Recommend dog savvy children as Benjamin can be jumpy.

Temperament: Loves his walks, but does have a lazy personality. His foster describes him as a `couch potato!`

Motivators? Treats

Any commands? He does not know any commands however he listens when u tell him to come or say no or leave it.

House trained? Yes, as long as you bring him out frequently to start

Crate trained? Yes - sleeps well in his crate overnight. Not destructive at all.

How long will it take to settle into a new environment? 2-3 weeks

Any special needs or traits an adopter should know? He is so gentle and has no resource guarding issues whatsoever. Sweetest boy.

Medical: Intestinal accident & gastro diet
