Description
Dog Breed: Treeing Walker Coonhound (medium coat). The Tallahassee-Leon Community Animal Service Center has a large number of animals just waiting for adoption. And we receive new "adoptees" every day, so add our website to your "favorites" list and visit us often. .talgov/animals Homer is a 67-pound boy with a gentle heart whoâs slowly learning that the world can be kind. When he first arrived at the shelter as a stray, he was very scared after being on his own for so long. With patience and care, though, his sweet personality is beginning to shine through â he takes treats gently, enjoys being social and walks nicely on a leash. Homer is still nervous around new people and needs time to feel safe and confident, but he does well with other dogs and would thrive in a calm, loving home willing to give him the patience he deserves.

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.
