HoundsGood: Chronicles of a Virtual Volunteer

All funds have been raised for sweet Sylvia, the wonderfully awesome Redbone Coonhound.   There is already a rescue that can definitely place her, and on top of it, they have a very nice couple in mind who would probably be just the perfect match for her!  Way to go, sweet girl!  I am hoping that someday I will have a better and larger picture of her so you can see how she takes the good news, and also how pretty she actually is.  It is hard to tell from the photo.

Below, is a better picture, not of Sylvia, but another Redbone, so you can get an idea of how stunning the breed is with a clearer picture.  Coonhounds are very much people dogs, and not to mention last but not least they have the floppiest and most awesome ears.  They are scent hounds, so you have to make sure that they get enough exercise and have a secure fence.  If introduced to them early on, they can be good with cats, but if introduced late and life, they may think your cat is a ‘coon and go after him/her.   So if you have nine cats, the breed may not be a good choice for you, but if you are looking for a generally even tempered, great family dog, look no further!  There are thousands of great hounds like this at shelters.  People just don’t think of them as a “housedog” but they will ever be thankful if you give them a second look!
