CHASE - HOUND / BLACK AND TAN COONHOUND / MIXED (MEDIUM COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Posted Breed: Hound / Black and Tan Coonhound / Mixed (medium coat). Fill out an Adoption Application Chase was living in a high kill shelter with minimal resources in North Carolina. He was at the shelter for 3 months living in a run and not even getting walked as they do not really have volunteers. He was scheduled to be euthanized twice and we stepped up to save him. He was starting to go kennel crazy from lack of exercise and stimulation and he was literally hours away from being killed when we pulled him. Chase is about 2 years old and weighs 45lbs. He is a little thin after the stressful shelter life, so we are trying to put a few pounds on him. We believe he is a hound mix, and he is very handsome. He has beautiful golden eyes and the most genuine smile. Chase is a sweet dog who enjoys being around his people. He is still learning to distinguish between toys and other objects. He likes to play and go for walks. He gets stressed out by the crate, probably because he spent a long time in the shelter. However, he sleeps well on his own dog bed. He is doing great with house training. His foster has noticed that he needs to go outside right away when he gets excited indoors. He is very gentle when he takes treats and food from your hand. Chase tends to jump up and hug people, so he is practicing the "down" command and improving. He loves the dog park and socializes well with other dogs. At home, he either naps or follows you around curiously. He behaves well on a long lead in an unfenced yard, but he would prefer a fenced yard where he can run freely. He can also unlock gates, so he needs supervision or secure locks when outside. He is good with dogs, but he may chase cats if he sees them. We think he is just playful. Chase is up to date on all vaccines and preventives, neutered, and microchipped. He did test heartworm positive so is currently on medication. We did have a sponsor donate to his heartworm treatment. He will need another proheart injection in five months and that will be paid for by us at our vet. (around 75 dollars). This also doubles as a preventative so Chase will not need any monthly meds during this time. A little savings to pass on to his new adopter, so he is good until end of the year!) Chase is located in the Myrtle Beach, South Carolina area. Home visit, approved at application, and adoption donation of $150 required.
