My story

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

Meet Blue, a 3-year-old coonhound from South Carolina who's just as dreamy as they come! Blue is a playful, fun-loving guy who adores romping around with toys and other dogs. After he's had his fill of fun, he's all about relaxing with his people and soaking up some affection. Being the true hound that he is, Blue will bay when he gets excited, but his foster dad says it's only when he's eager to make a dog friend. Otherwise, he's pretty quiet. Blue is also crate trained and appears house trained as long as he gets the routine down. He loves to cuddle with people, get belly rubs, play with tennis balls, and go for walks.

He can be mouthy during play, so we'd recommend he go home with kids 10 and up. He does guard food from other animals, including human food, so if you have another dog, you'll need a plan to keep them separate when food is around.

If you're looking for a loyal companion who's as sweet as he is spirited, Blue might just be your perfect match!

If you're ready to adopt now and want to learn more about, meet, or adopt this pet, you can start the process in one of two ways:

Come on in during open adoption hours Tuesday - Saturday 12:30-3:00! For in-shelter pets (not in foster care) coming in ASAP is the fastest way to adopt.

**the below two methods are slower than visiting us**
Call us (413-781-4000 x 1) or email us (springfield@dakinhumane.org) for more information about a pet. We are often on the line with another client, but we return voice mail and emails within 24 hours.

All adult dog adoption fees include;
-spay/neuter
-rabies and kennel cough vaccinations
- heartworm test
-current parvo/distemper vaccines (may need additional boosters with your veterinarian)
-microchip implanted & registered to adopter
-treatment of fleas & ticks
