Description
Dog Breed: Plott Hound (short coat). Hi, my name is Jake and I'm about 8 months old. Me and my litter mate, Maggie, were rescued by Bond County Humane Society from a kill shelter in TN. We were found as strays when we were about 10 weeks old. I am friendly and love attention. I am not very interested in toys. I love food and being with people. I like to go for leash walks and run in the yard. I am still working on my puppy manners. I know "Sit" and "Down" for treats. I'm very smart, alert and watch everything going on around me. When I get excited all my manners are temporarily forgotten. I need a lot of exercise to help me have a release for my energy. I am good with other dogs and would do well with another dog with my play drive. I would do best with older children that can handle my energy. It would be helpful if my adopter(s) had some previous experience with dogs like me that want to be the boss. I have seen cats, but have not had any interaction with them. I am crate trained and working on house training. I am available for immediate adoption. I am neutered, UTD on vaccinations, heartworm tested, treated for internal and external parasites and micro chipped. My adoption fee is $300. If you are interested in making me a member of your family please complete an Adoption Profile in person or on-line at .bondcohumane. Email the completed profile to the address provided. A copy of our policy regarding warranties, refunds and returns is available upon request.

Overview:
The Plott Hound is a rugged, intelligent breed originating from the mountains of North Carolina, primarily bred for hunting large game like bear and wild boar. Known for their striking brindle coat, which can range from light tan to dark black, they are a medium-to-large dog with a muscular build, powerful legs, and a distinctive deep, resonant bay. Temperamentally, Plotts are loyal, courageous, and generally good-natured, displaying an affectionate side with their families. While they can be excellent companions for active families, their high energy levels and strong prey drive mean they require considerable exercise and secure containment. They are generally not well-suited for apartment living due to their need for space and propensity to vocalize. Health-wise, Plotts are a relatively hardy breed, though like many large dogs, they can be prone to hip and elbow dysplasia, bloat, and eye conditions. Regular veterinary check-ups and a balanced diet are crucial for maintaining their well-being.
