NETTIE - BLUETICK COONHOUND / GERMAN SHORTHAIRED POINTER / MIXED DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Bluetick Coonhound / German Shorthaired Pointer / Mixed. Adoption Fee: 300. *This animal is a part of our “Seniors for Seniors” program where we offer senior adopters an opportunity to adopt an eligible pet at a discounted fee.* Nettie is a sweet and loving Coonhound mix looking for her forever home. This gentle 65-pound girl is a true testament to resilience. Having spent most of her life as a farm dog, Nettie is now joyfully embracing the comforts of indoor living and would love to be your calm, devoted companion. Nettie is a low-energy sweetheart who enjoys quiet moments and, most of all, your gentle pets. While she loves affection, she's also perfectly content to relax on her own. She is house-trained and ready to settle into a loving home. Due to past injuries, Nettie has arthritis that could require lifelong medication or physical therapy, which helps her stay comfortable. She would thrive in a single-level home where she doesn't have to navigate stairs. A fenced yard is also a must for her to safely enjoy the outdoors at her own pace (unless you are willing and able to spend the time outdoors with her). If you're looking for a devoted, calm, and incredibly sweet companion to share your quiet moments with, Nettie might just be your perfect match. She promises endless love and gentle companionship in return for a comfortable, understanding home. Adopting a senior dog is like getting a vintage car – it comes with character, a few extra quirks, and might need a bit more maintenance. Expect occasional tune ups at the vet for oil changes (aka meds), and embrace the fact that those 'normal lumps and bumps' are just part of the well-earned charm package! Ruff Start will share all known health information with adopters and rec ommendations to keep your senior dog in top shape. If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application. An adoption application is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is not a binding contract.

If you are unable to adopt but want to help this animal and others in our care, you can donate to support the medical and veterinary needs of all Ruff Start Rescue animals.
