About Stretch

Adoption Fee: $75
Treeing Walker Coonhound
Age: Young Adult
Sex: Male

His name is Stretch, he is around 3 or 4. He's an 80lb Pure bread treeing walker coonhound, with some special needs. He is partially blind in one eye due to previous abuse, and has some cognitive problems. He just doesn't understand things sometimes. He has a high prey drive so no cats or small dogs, and doesn't like strange dogs on walks, but has been amazing large around female dogs as friends or companions. At the time When he was adopted He had a nice yard for him, and he did really well. However I know I will likely not be able to live back in a house for many years, and since He's been living in an apartment he has really been struggling. His bread needs to run, and howl. So he needs a yard to run around and 'defend'. I have a impossible time getting him the exercise he needs because he cannot go to dog parks due to his issue with strange dogs and me being a small person. When I walk him he often will see a dog and pull me to the ground trying to attack them. I have had much success however with a muzzle and sturdy no pull harness, it still is very difficult but manageable. There's just not enough time in the day to get him enough exercise walking, He just needs a yard and he needs to run though. He whines more, gets into things and paces now that I can't give him enough exercise. I work, and he's just alone far too much, I know he needs better. He is the sweetest boy he loves Children, and he is totally potty trained. He knows many tricks, and absolutely loves going to party's where he can just be loved by all the people. I take him with me everywhere and people just love him, and he just loves people. This boy just deserves a family, and a space to be free. He hates loud noises so he is absolutely not a hunting dog, and isn't a fan of water, but he loves plush toys and butt scratches more than anything.
