Treeing Walker Coonhound puppies and dogs in East Providence, Rhode Island

Fern (all black and tan face) is a four-year-old Treeing Walker Coonhound that I rescued from the RI SPCA three years ago. Fern loves to snuggle once she bonds with you. She is a sweet, gentle pup who has gone through behavioral training, and knows her basic commands. She still struggles to come when let off the leash, but she loves to go on long walks with her people. I reunited Fern with her sister, Juniper (white on face) when Juniper was returned to the shelter a year after I adopted Fern. Fern struggles with separation anxiety and must be crated when left. She will bark loudly and constantly for a time when left alone. She requires ample exercise (2 long walks per day). Fern resource guards food with other dogs, not humans, and is prey driven, so a house without other pets is needed - she loves her sister, Juniper, who is also looking for a home, though! Fern has never bitten another dog. Because Fern resource guards food, a home with older children is needed.

Juniper is a four-year-old Treeing Walker Coonhound with a big heart and sweet presence. She needs ample exercise each day (2 good walks) and enjoys hiking. She gets along with other dogs, but struggles to socialize well at the dog park, and often barks in other dog's faces. She needs a home with no cats, but does get along with other dogs and children. She will resource guard a bone, so it is best to only let her have bones or high reward treats while in her crate. She struggles with separation anxiety, so she needs to be crated when left alone, and will bark while you are not home. Help Juniper find her forever home!

Millie is a family friendly dog and gets along with other dogs, cats, and children/toddlers. She is high energy and needs plenty or walks or large yard to run in. We have been unable to give her the attention she needs since my daughter was born and hope there is another family willing to adopt her instead of taking her to a shelter.

6 Ft. FENCE REQUIRED Adoption Donation  $499    Located in RI Transportation costs to Northeast included. Approximately 2 years old as of 8/8/24 Weighs 24 pounds   Introducing Lexie! This hound mix is a wonderful bundle of fun energy! If you are looking for a dog to sit down with on the couch after work and relax this is NOT the dog for you! If you are looking for a hiking, running, walking partner Lexie wants to have you join her in investigating the world. Despite a lousy start in life, Lexie is an extremely loving and trusting girl. Lexie would love to have another young and/or active pup to enjoy life with. She is currently in a foster home with a few younger dogs and she wears them all out! No cats please. She is not a fan. She's actually afraid of them Lexie loves kids, but due to her great enthusiasm for them one would worry about small toddlers getting knocked over in her excitement. Lexie would be fantastic with kids over the age of six. Lexie is crate trained and once she goes in doesn’t make a peep. Potty training as long as she is on a consistent schedule is fantastic, but she does need a routine. She has conducted all of her business in the exact same spot in the yard each and every time she goes. Can we get a hallelujah?! She walks wonderfully on a leash. While a fenced in yard is not necessary required it certainly wouldn’t hurt. But due to her high prey drive when she is not fenced in, she must always be on a leash at all times. She would take off after a squirrel or bunny and I’m sure run after it for hours. Lexies loves playing and romping around with toys or socks, so we make sure she has lots of her own things to enjoy and try to keep what we don’t want her to have put away. Lexie is EXTREMELY smart and just as energetic. She can easily jump a 4 ft. fence, so a 6 ft. fence is required. We think she would not only benefit from training but will absolutely excel at it. Whether a family, couple or single person adopts this wonderful silly girl, one thing is for sure, that they will be extremely lucky!    If you are interested in adopting me, please fill out an application on our website  www.fohari.org  and email my foster parent for more information:  sarahscleansweep@yahoo.com Please verify the location and readiness of this dog with us.  Because we save lives from various locations through out the United States, some dogs may not be in New England yet, nor ready for immediate adoption.   Our adoption application can be found here: https://fohari.org/application/  Our Adoption Process:   Go to our website and select the animal you are interested in.

*Courtesy post* Our friends at Northeast Coonhound are asking for our help with these 2 girls!These two beautiful dogs have been wonderful companions but sadly the current owner cannot continue to provide the care they require due to housing insecurity. Fern (all black back) and Juniper (white t-bone on face) were rescued from the Rhode Island SPCA by their current owner one year apart, and are litter mates, who are approximately 4 years old. Current owner rescued Fern in 2020, and then rescued Juniper one year later when she was returned to the shelter. They could live separately, but do have an attachment to one another that helps with their separation anxiety. Fern acts in the alpha role and resource guards food, so toys with food are best given in separate crates or areas. Juniper is wonderful with children while Fern will get anxious around children and will bark if they interact with her. A household with no other pets or young children is needed. They have both had training through K9 Behavioral Services in Hope Valley RI. They will jump on counters, chew or rip up personal items, and generally won’t come unless a treat is offered. They require crates when left alone because they do experience separation anxiety and will bark. Music or radio or toys with food will help them stay calm in crates when left alone. This bonded pair enjoys time outdoors, and are trained to walk with front harnesses and gentle leaders. They have experienced all levels of exercise from free range roaming with a Garmin tracker system to two big walks on leash per day and ample puzzle games. They have treed a raccoon and other small animals before, and will chase deer. That being said, they are happy to have someone home with them all day and will sleep if comfortable at home. A household that could offer them lots of companionship during the day or a big backyard where they could play and do puzzle games would work, however, they could also be used in trials or pack hunts. They each have their own personalities, but are very typical Treeing Walker Coonhounds. They are alert and focused on prey, while also calming down if given a comfortable place to rest. These two beautiful pups are available for visits in Seekonk Massachusetts. Please contact Emily Leeser via phone, text or email (904)304-5839 or eleeser121@gmail.com
