Story
NELSON - Male 8+ years old “All he wants is a full bowl, a comfy bed and someone that will take him on some sniff time walks. He’s pretty much a happy go lucky fellow. Very affectionate towards everyone.”Nelson is recovering from some possible tick borne diseases and some kidney issues. It is well maintained on meds and he is on the upswing! We wouldn’t recommend a home with lots of stairs. He gets around well but has some difficulties.

Story
ADOPTABLE - ATHENS OHROCKY - Female, Hound/lab mix 50 lb, approx 2-3 years old This gorgeous love bug is such a gem! Kicked to the curb once her former family had a baby she had to live tied outside. As sad as that tale is, Rocky still has so much love to give and so much fun to have! She road perfectly in the car and did beautifully at her first Vet appt. She needs some leash training but other than that she’s ready for the pampered lifestyle of couch sleeping and long walks with her forever soul mate. She’s good with cats and dogs but proper introductions are always the best way to go. To meet Rocky, submit our adoption app here- athenshumane.org/adoptSubmit and adoption application on our website - athenshumane.org/adopt

Story
He was dropped at our house last summer as a puppy. He was very fearful, it took months to be able to even pet him. We have worked for over a year and he still is very timid but has greatly improved. He chases chickens and likes to roam so he needs a fenced enclosure. He is a sweet little guy, but we just can't get any further with him. We think the right person could bring him around to be a confident and happy dog.

Rockbridge, OH

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Rose is pure American English coonhound. She excels at learning and has a real drive to be a working/hunting dog. She has already treed a handful of critters on her own. Her hunting drive and youthful spirit will have her barking at cats but that can be trained out. Still has the occasional accident but is mostly housebroken. Only six months old, So still teething, but a very good girl. Plays a little rough with other dogs and children. I recommend a family with older children only. Champion bloodline but I don’t have any papers. Still, she’s beautiful and will thrive in an appropriate home. I truly wish it were my home. Up to date on all vaccines. Can get a copy of vaccination record upon request. Not spayed.
