Description
Dog Breed: Treeing Walker Coonhound. Adoption Fee: $250. Sweet Mama Esther II has done an excellent job raising her pups and now is her chance to get her forever home. Poor girl was rescued from Lake County in rough shape and pregnant. Her fantastic foster family embraced her and gave her the opportunity to have and raise her babies for the last 3 months. She is now being spayed and finishing her vetting and will be available at the beginning of September. Esther is house trained, loves people although a bit shy at first and excellent with the other dogs in her foster home. The foster family does say they think she would love her own family but it is not a requirement-just watch the treats when they are handed out and is in no way agressive. Esther II will need a secure yard that the family has reinforced because she does like to dig under the fence. Esther II is a big beautiful hound weighing in at just over 43 pounds. She is relatively quiet except when playing!

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.
