                                                                            Ashley
Ashley is a pretty young bluetick coonhound, about 1 yr old and about 45 lbs. Ashley is having a great time at her foster home, and loves the new experiences of having a comfy bed, toys, and good food. She loves playing fetch with tennis balls, riding in the car to her favorite parks, and rolling around on the floor inviting belly-rubs. She's very well-behaved - she doesn't jump on people, she's almost housebroken, she listens, and she's learning that counter-surfing is not okay. Ashley likes to be petted - she eagerly greets new people with her tail wagging. Ashley is clever and resourceful - she likes to pull the bedding out of her crate and haul it into the kitchen where she arranges it by foster Mom's desk ! Ashley is confident, but not dominant; she'll need some obedience training, but is a great age to learn some manners. Ashley is fostering in the Boston area and is available for visits.
  
  
                                                                          Denver
 Denver is a bluetick/black and tan mix.  He has handsome coloring and a great personality too. He's sweet and submissive, and a little cautious in new situations.  Denver has settled in well at his foster home - he's much more confident; he enjoys his snuggle time with the family.  Denver is unpredictable around cats.  He will chase some, but not others.  Denver is crate-trained and housebroken. 


      
                                                                           Holly
Holly is going to be someone's easy-going companion. She's a gentle, friendly dog who doesn't need a lot of activity to be happy. She enjoys being around her people and is content to snooze nearby while you work or relax. She warms up to new people easily and enjoys being petted, but isn't particularly needy. Holly seems to be a dog that hasn't had the best life so far, although her trusting and loving personality hasn't suffered for it. She' grateful for whatever you have to offer, but not demanding at all. We think shes a hound/shepherd mix, although her behavior doesn't really suggest either of those breeds. Holly is house-broken, crate-trained and walks well on a leash. She's about 3 yrs old and weighs about 35 lbs. She's good with kids as well as older folks. She's just an all-around great dog who will be so happy to be someone's special girl !


    
                                                                          Henry
Henry is an English Coonhound from Tennessee. He was found as a stray, and was so thin and malnourished they didn't think he'd make it. Four months later, with some TLC, Henry is doing great. He has a great hound personality - he greats everyone with his tail wagging, but he's gentle and doesn't jump up. Henry has learned to go running along with his foster Dad. He gets along with other dogs; he's good in the car, and he's housebroken. Henry is willing to please and should be easy to train - he'll be a great companion. He's between 1 and 2 and weighs 45 - 50 lbs.

                                                         Trudy  - Adoption Pending
Trudy is a friendly hound mix who likes nothing better than hanging out with her people. She walks well on a leash and makes new friends easily. Trudy has started her obedience training and knows 'sit'. She gets along well with other dogs, but prefers to be with one or two and not a pack. Trudy would love a home with a fenced yard. and another dog for company. She enjoys her playtime outside, but doesn't like to be outside for long by herself. She is crate-trained, although probably not a good dog for someone who works all day. She just enjoys being with her people more than that ! Trudy is about 2 - 3 yrs old. and weighs about 45 lbs. Trudy has arrived in Massachusetts and is ready for visits.

                                                             Bonnie
Bonnie is a pretty English redtick coonhound who needs to be rehomed. Her owner describes her as bright and playful, she's always alert and enjoys her exercise, like all coonhounds. Bonnie plays well with other dogs, but should be fed separately. She's loving and affectionate. Bonnie would do well with a male owner; she's not so good around elderly people and kids. Bonnie is located in the NYC area. If interested, please contact Janet: jjjts2002@yahoo.com
