Another plus: She is leash trained and loves to go on walks. She was saved from a high kill shelter, which means someone recognized that she would make a wonderful family dog. Delilah is a good-natured pup who is comfortable with kids and dogs. She loves to be with people. It is not known if she has ever met a cat. As a bit of lower energy pup, but she loves to play with other dogs but is the first to curl up for a nap and snore away. Hounds come in a variety of types. But their personalities can be similar as they are known to be inquisitive, friendly, and intelligent, as are labs. They are often lively dogs with plenty of energy, as well as being agile and of course, great trackers when using their sense of smell. As to training, Delilah is all housetrained and crate trained so she is ready for her new family She is working on her leash training and will need the right guidance mixed with consistency, repetition, and patience to make her a champion. Daily short walks (30 minutes max) will reinforce her leash skills as well as socialization skills. It will be a new world to her with all the new sights, smells, sounds, and people along her walk. She cannot become a running companion until she is at least a year old. At that point her growth plate will close. Although Delilah is housetrained, it is important to remember that accidents can occur while adjusting to a new home environment. At home she will also benefit from mental stimulation in the form of activities and play toys. That will help keep her from being bored. A secure back yard will give her free time to play and burn off extra energy. Are you willing to take on the task of helping Delilah transition to a new life where she is loved by her family?
