Tina hopes the cat she is hunting is fooled into believing ducks are cat safe.
Tina hopes someone will be her snuggle buddy.
Tina is a 4+ year old American Foxhound rescued from a kill shelter. She is a compact, 44-pound love bug ~ sweet, gentle and quiet in the house, wanting to snuggle and be touched, but she is very active outside, just a blur running by for hours each day. The only information we were given about Tina is that she was a sweetheart and was great with kids. From her behavior, we suspect she was a pet and not a hunting dog. She arrived housebroken and very comfortable in the house, which is very unusual for a foxhound. She climbed on the sofa and fell asleep with her feet in the air, and we were able to cut her nails while she slept! Although we don't believe Tina was a hunting dog, she does have a very strong hunting instinct and will hunt any small furries, so she is not a good match for homes with cats or other small pets. She will look for openings in fences and sneak out doorways if there is some interesting scent on the other side and she is given the opportunity, and for this reason, kids should be old enough not to let her slip out. Tina requires a large, securely fenced yard, at least one other doggie companion and a family that is home most of the day and will include her in activities. Our entire family agrees that Tina is one of the sweetest dogs we have ever met. If you think she might be a good match for your home, please email us for more information.
Tina is spayed, current on vaccinations, negative for Lyme disease, Ehrlichia and heartworms and on heartworm preventative. She is also microchipped. Tina is being fostered for Foxhound Relocation and Retirement.
