Description
Dog Breed: Black and Tan Coonhound. Thaddeus is a calm, eventempered young hound with a wonderfully sweet nature. At about a year and a half old and 25 pounds, he’s an ideal size and temperament for many homes. Known as “a perfect angel” at the shelter, Thaddeus lived comfortably in a home, played well with other dogs, and loves to snuggle. He’s easy on leash—even when following a scent—and enjoys calmly exploring new environments before settling in for quiet play and naps. Thaddeus rides great in the car and happily curls up to nap on longer drives. In foster care, he sleeps through the night in a crate by the bed (though he’d happily sleep on the bed if invited). His potty skills and leash manners are improving with routine, and he responds well to gentle guidance. He’s quiet, wellmannered, not dogreactive, and gets along beautifully with the resident beagle. Thaddeus loves treats, affection, and handled bath time like a champ. Overall, Thaddeus is an easy keeper—happy, affectionate, and eager to please. PAW adopts in the MD, VA, and Northern PA region.

Overview:
The Black and Tan Coonhound is a noble American breed, descended from crosses between Bloodhounds and Foxhounds, primarily developed to track raccoons and other nocturnal game. They are striking dogs, characterized by their sleek, glossy black coats with distinctive tan markings on their muzzle, chest, and legs. Physically, they are strong and athletic, with long, pendulous ears and a soulful expression, embodying the classic hound look. Temperamentally, they are known for being laid-back and affectionate with their families, yet possess an incredible prey drive and the classic "baying" hound voice when on a scent. While generally good with children and other pets, their strong sense of smell and desire to follow a trail means they require a securely fenced yard and consistent leash training. Due to their need for regular exercise and their vocal nature, they are generally not ideal for apartment living. Health-wise, they are a relatively robust breed, but can be prone to hip and elbow dysplasia, as well as ear infections due to their long ears. Prospective owners should be prepared for their independent spirit and their unwavering love for a good scent.
