Dog Breed: Treeing Walker Coonhound (short coat). Foster Homes Needed! Do you have time and room in your life for a foster dog? .muttloverescue/foster.html ***************** Calling all hound lovers!! This sweet handsome boy came to Mutt Love from a NC shelter where they euthanize dogs who are in the shelter longer than days. Ranger deserved a chance at a happy life and a loving home so we made him part of the Mutt Love family. Ranger is estimated at about 2-3 years old currently weighs about 55 pounds, although he does need to put on a few pounds. Ranger is heartworm positive and is beginning treatment soon at our vet. He would benefit from being in a foster home during treatment to help make things easier on him. **BECAUSE OF OUR REQUIREMENT FOR A HOME VISIT, WE ARE ONLY ABLE TO ADOPT TO HOMES IN THE NORTHERN VA / MARYLAND / DC METRO AREA** We have adoption events EVERY SATURDAY from 12-3 p.m. Please note that not all dogs can attend every event, so if you are interested in meeting a particular dog, please complete a no-obligation application on our website at .muttloverescue/application.html OR write to adoptmuttloverescue.

A.K.A.: Walker Coonhound, Treeing Walker, Walker, Walkers, Coonhound, Kentucky Coonhound, Tennessee Lead Coonhound
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.
