Esther - English Coonhound-Unknown Mix Female Dog For Adoption in Plainfield, Illinois, USA

Dog Breed: English Coonhound / Mixed (short coat). Adoption Fee: 400.

Meet Esther! Esther is a petite lemon beagle/foxhound mix with a heart as soft as her coloring. At about 35 lbs. and roughly 1 to 2 years old, this sweet girl is ready to find the family who will help her blossom. Esther is quite shy. The world still feels big and uncertain to her, and new people, places, and sounds can be a lot for her to take in. But underneath that shyness is an incredibly sweet, people-loving dog. Once she feels safe, her affectionate nature shines through, and she'll quietly win your heart. Esther needs a patient family who will let her move at her own pace and gently show her that the world isn't such a scary place after all. With time, consistency, and kindness, she'll gain the confidence she needs to truly thrive. Another dog makes all the difference for Esther. She takes comfort and cues from canine friends, so she'll need a playful resident dog in the home to help show her the ropes. As a beagle/foxhound mix, she also has a hound's nose and instincts, so a securely fenced-in yard is a must. Esther's ideal home: A patient, understanding family willing to let her adjust at her own pace Another playful dog in the home A securely fenced-in yard If you have the patience and love to help a shy girl discover how good life can be, Esther may be the perfect addition to your family.
