About Miss Ellie-Mae

Foxhound / Bluetick Coonhound
Age: Young Adult
Sex: Female

Miss Ellie-Mae is a female coonhound mix originally adopted from North Carolina 2.5 years ago. From what I was told she was trained to hunt coons and run dear (legal in NC). She spent most of her early beginnings in a cage along with a number of other coonhounds. When I adopted her she was malnourished, had not been spayed and was not vaccinated. All these issues have since been resolved. In the beginning Miss Ellie-Mae had no inside manners. With the help of my other 6 dogs and husband we set out to teach her the rules of domestic life. Miss Ellie-Mae learned fairly quickly what inside manners were expected. She also learned basic commands such as 'sit', 'wait' and 'no bark.' Despite our love, consistency and patience we began to see that Miss Ellie-Mae didn't appear to be happy living here with us. There are too many dogs for her liking. She has trouble understanding the pecking order, is food aggressive with other dogs and doesn't get the human attention she craves. Miss Ellie-Mae adores men. Miss Ellie-Mae requires a strong (preferably male) handler who understands hound dog behavior. She would do best in a home where she is the only dog and where she can eat her food slowly throughout the day. Although she shows no interest in chasing deer she is not gun shy at all. In fact, Miss Ellie-Mae shows excitement when she hears gun shots from the near by hunters. Miss Ellie-Mae loves her crate and will go in willingly and without hesitation. She is leash trained and loves to go for outings. Miss Ellie-Mae is also Garmin collar trained. She loves to track small animals and will attempt to climb a tree if need be to 'get' that coon or possum. Her prey drive is strong. Miss Ellie-Mae also is exceptionally vocal. She will discuss the most important matters with you for hours if you let her. Miss Ellie-Mae only wants to please her human. She is very loving towards us and will nuzzle and hug us when given the opportunity. Over all Miss Ellie-Mae is a great dog. She just needs that certain someone who understands her personality and can provide her with devoted attention and love. Lastly, Miss Ellie-Mae is a 'looker.' Her markings are perfectly arranged, her ears are soft and just the right length and her coat is short and easy to care for. Please help me find the proverbial perfect home for Miss Ellie-Mae. Please contact me for more details if she captures your attention and heart. I just know the perfect home is out there for Miss Ellie-Mae. Lastly, Miss Ellie-Mae is an 'inside-outside' dog who will require a fenced in yard and a comfy bed she can share with her human.
