My story

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

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

Meet Goose, your ultimate cuddle buddy and playful companion!

Goose is a charming Redtick Coonhound (American English Coonhound) with a heart as big as his baying voice.

Originally from a Michigan hunting expo, he found himself with us after his first family realized just how much attention a puppy needs to thrive. Goose quickly learned the joys of people, playtime, and all the comforts of home life, and he’s eager to find his forever family!

Like any true coonhound, Goose loves to let his voice be heard! He’s especially vocal when inviting his furry friends to play, trying to nab a coveted toy, or expressing his opinion on being in a crate while his humans are nearby. He’s not shy about sharing his thoughts, especially when he can see you through a door or window.

At home, Goose is mellow, happy to lounge indoors, and enjoys a good backyard romp for exercise. His favorite toys include squeaky stuffies, tennis balls, and a mini soccer ball. He’s also a fan of bacon-flavored Benebones and peanut butter-filled Kongs.

Goose is a master snuggler and a true people dog. He loves men, women, and kids! His favorite moments are cozying up on the couch with you in the evenings. This food-loving hound is happiest with his meals and treats but needs a slow-feeder bowl to help him pace himself. He’s currently learning that not all food belongs to him, especially the toddler-dropped kind!

Goose lives in harmony with a lively male Jack Russell mix, a queenly pitty, a gentle 150lb mastiff mix, and a confident cat. Mealtime is best kept separate to avoid any food-thieving temptation from his side!

Goose is making progress with potty training and will head to the door when he needs to go out, though he still needs prompt attention. He’s wonderful with children, a champ at the vet, and a friend to everyone he meets.

Ready to bring this snuggly, sweet, and spunky hound into your life? Apply today to meet Goose!

Additional adoption info

We do have an adoption process to try to ensure that each and every animal in our care get a loving forever home. We do always take our animals back if an adopter can not keep the animal for any reason. The first step is filling out the adoption application for the animal or animals one wishes to adopt. Once we receive the application we will do a vet check.

A vet check is where we call the applicants veterinary office and speak with the staff to see how well the current or past animals are/were cared for. We want to see if they were all spayed and neutered, see if they were kept up to date on vaccine, heartworm test and preventives. We do this to try to make sure we place the animal with someone who will be diligent at keeping the animal up to date and well cared for. Once the vet check passes we set up a meet and greet.

A meet and greet is where we get to see how the animal reacts to the applicant and vis versa. This is also a good time to introduce any current animals in the applicants home to the animal they applied to adopt. We want to make sure they are a good fit for each other. we like to have the whole household meet the animal applied for. If things go good here then we set up to have a home visit done.

A home visit is NOT a white glove test to see how clean your house is. It’s more of a chance for us to get to know you and you home dynamics. We get to see if your home is an active one or maybe a quiet one. It gives us a chance to talk to you about your life, your animals, and your application in a face to face conversation. And it gives us a chance to see that the home is safe for the animal. For example, if you adopt a puppy we like to make sure that things are not laying out for a puppy to reach and be able to chew up. We also like to make sure there are no chemicals within the animals reach. If you have a fence, we like to look it over and make sure that there is no way to get out of the fenced yard. It gives us a chance to point things out that may be a specific issue for the animal applied for. Maybe you applied for a senior with some mobility issues, and you have a few stairs that go out to the back yard. We would take this opportunity to try to problem solve and find a better way for the animal then the steps like a ramp, or maybe a better fit animal altogether.

The whole process can take from days to a few weeks, it all depends on where the applicant is located, and when our volunteers get free time for meet and greets and home visits. Remember we are all volunteers and are not paid to do this, so we have to do it in out free time around our full time jobs and normal lives.

More about this rescue

House Of Hounds is a small, volunteer run, nonprofit rescue. We care for the animals and their needs by donations made by the public, adoption donations and fundraisers. All our animals are in foster homes so they can acclimate and learn how behave in a home. We strive to save hounds but wont turn away any animal one of our foster homes has room for. All of our animals are checked by a veterinarian. They all receive age appropriate vetting including:

For Dogs: Rabies, Distemper and Lepto as well as Heartworm test, heartworm preventative, spay/neuter, microchipping and any other vetting they may require.

For Cats: Distemper, Rabies, FIV/FeLV test, spay/neuter, microchipping and any other vetting they may require.
