DUNCAN - COONHOUND / MIXED (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Posted Breed: Coonhound / Mixed (short coat). Adoption Fee: 200. Meet Duncan, a charming Bluetick Coonhound with a personality as vibrant as his spotted coat! Originally bred as hunting companions in the South, Duncan brings a touch of Southern charm to the North, where these intelligent pups are a rare find. Despite their hunting roots, Bluetick Coonhounds like Duncan excel as loyal companions, bringing joy and laughter to any family lucky enough to welcome them into their homes. With his inquisitive nature and keen sense of smell, Duncan is always on the lookout for new adventures. While he may occasionally get caught up in the excitement of a scent, ensuring he has a secure outdoor area allows him to explore safely, while giving you peace of mind. Although Duncan can be a bit anxious at times, a consistent routine of exercise and mental stimulation helps channel his energy in positive ways. His enthusiasm for morning and evening walks is contagious, making him the perfect motivator to kickstart your day or unwind after a long one. In a household, Duncan thrives as the center of attention, preferring to be the sole furry friend. But fear not, he's not one to pester you for early wake-up calls – Duncan is quite the snoozer and enjoys a leisurely sleep-in. On sunny days, you'll often find him basking in the warmth of the sun or lending a paw in the garden, eager to be your helper. And when the chill of winter sets in, Duncan's affectionate side shines through, seeking warmth and comfort under his favorite blanket. While he may not fit snugly into your lap, Duncan's presence is always felt, especially during movie nights when he eagerly awaits his share of popcorn, proving that even the biggest of dogs have a soft spot for snacks and quality time with their loved ones. Duncan is from a local shelter. If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application.
