Story
Turbo is a 7lb male Havapoo. He enjoys people’s company and will happily sit on your lap or near by you. He is blind in one eye and will sometimes need help navigating (stairs can be tricky). He is mostly calm natured and cautious but enjoys playing with his toys and getting belly rubs. He knows many commands such as come, sit, wait, off and up. Unfortunately Turbo does not get along well with young children and are looking to find him a good new home without young children. He has never bitten anyone but does growl and show teeth when children are near him. Turbo would do well with older adults as he is pretty relaxed and enjoys lounging.

Story
Courtesy Post: Annie is a very sweet dog who loves her people and loves her tennis ball almost as much. She has done well in a pack of hounds the last couple of years but would also be fine as an only pet or with one companion. She eagerly meets new friends at the dog park and gets along well with males and females. Annie is crate trained and loves to curl up in a ball on her bed but she would prefer to sleep with her humans if permitted. Annie is a high energy dog and requires daily exercise. She is trained off leash but would also do well as a running companion. She will tirelessly play catch and loves doing so as much as she enjoys her runs in the park. Annie is vocal when she anticipates an outing as well as while playing ball. Annie is being rehomed by a local family due to a move and other complications. She is about six years old and weighs 45 - 50 lbs. If interested, please contact us at necoonhoundrescue@gmail.com

Story
Personality Plus describes this Treeing Walker Coonhound puppy. Chloe is an energetic puppy, about 4 months old. She loves to meet new people and and enjoys attention and petting. She thinks everyone she sees is there to meet HER! She can be demanding at times. Chloe is very smart and learns new routines and commands easily; she needs to learn manners around people. Unfortunately Chloe has already bounced around a few times in her young life. She'll need a hound-experienced owner who has time to meet her energy needs. A fenced yard and another dog to play with would e a plus. Her adopter should be able to offer routines and a structured environment that will provide Chloe with stability and security. She's adorable and has the potential to be a great hound companion. Chloe should have an adult size of 45 - 55 lbs. Available for visits in western Massachusetts.
