Description
Dog Breed: Treeing Walker Coonhound (medium coat). Adoption Fee: 17l5. Gus is the sweetest, chilled boy you would ever want to meet. Even though he has not been treated well, he still loves people. He was picked up as a stray by one of the local county animal controls and nobody came looking for him. He is great with other dogs and kids. Not sure about cats but the hounds we have taken in the past are usually good with cats. Unfortunately our little man is heart worm positive and will start treatment after neuter surgery and removal of several masses. He is a couch potato who likes to watch TV with dogs on it and just snuggle with his people. If you are looking for a friend who loves to go for sniff walks and snuggle in a comfy bed and watch TV with you, Gus is your boy! If you would like to add this sweet boy to your family, please contact Rainbow Rescue at 757-472-1583 or email: rainbowanimalrescuevagmail

Overview:
The Treeing Walker Coonhound, a breed originating in the American South, was meticulously developed for its exceptional ability to track and "tree" raccoons and other small game. Physically, they are athletic and elegant, showcasing a smooth, short coat typically in tri-color (black, white, and tan) or bi-color patterns, along with a distinctive long tail and expressive, often pleading, brown eyes. Weighing between 50-70 pounds, their lean musculature allows for impressive endurance. Temperamentally, they are known for being intelligent, friendly, and affectionate, making them wonderful companions. However, their strong prey drive and high energy levels mean they thrive in active homes with securely fenced yards; apartment living is generally not recommended due to their need for extensive exercise and a tendency to bay. While generally a healthy breed, potential owners should be aware of possible issues like hip and elbow dysplasia, as well as bloat. Their loving nature makes them suitable for active families willing to provide ample physical and mental stimulation.
