About Fawn

Hi, I'm Fawn. I am a year and a half old hound mix. I am looking for a new home only because my hoomans have suffered a financial hardship and we have had to leave our large 2 story home on 6 acres and move into a single wide trailer in a trailer park that is FULL of cats. Cats are my downfall and my arch nemesis; when I see, hear, or smell a cat I go nuts. I claw and bark at windows if I'm inside and I have nearly injured my hoomans chasing cats while on the leash outside. I also have broken out of the house to chase cats and although I'm very fast, the cats have been faster so far. My family loves me very much, but because of these issues I spend a lot of my day in my kennel now. I'm not used to that and even though Mom and Dad have had many conversations with me about cats, I always promise to be better, but I just can't help myself when push comes to shove. Unfortunately my family is unable to move us back out in the country away from all these cats and they have ran out of ideas of how to try to redirect me. This is the one thing I am persistent about. So now that I've shared my weaknesses, let me tell you why my family is absolutely heartbroken that I need to find a new home. First off I have 7 furless siblings ages 15 down to my youngest brother just turned a year old. Mom and Dad got me 3 days before he was born, so we've grown up together. I love my furless siblings! We love playing and I can play for hours! But I also understand to be more gentle with my smaller siblings. Mom has also taught me 'watch out for the baby!' and that means I need to walk slowly and not step on my smallest brother. I'm actually really good about listening as long as I am not on the hunt for a cat. One time I did knock my baby brother out of his walker because I was so focused on chasing a cat.. mom was not happy and I felt bad afterwards, but I just couldn't help myself. My brother is tough and he's ok. I love other dogs too. I have one big fluffy sister, she's a Pyranees. But don't let her size fool you, I'm the alpha. I'm not aggressive with her, but I can definitely hold my own when it comes to rough housing. My grandma has a couple of overweight Corgis (one male, one female) and I love them too. Our old neighbor had a female boxer and she used to come have play dates with me, we had lots of fun. Our new trailer park also has some doggy friends, a Chihuahua mix, a rottweiler,and a small lab mix and we get along too. I am fully house, leash, and kennel trained. However, I am spoiled and I sleep with Mom, Dad, my baby brother, and my furry sister every night. I know that sounds like a lot, but I curl up into a tiny doughnut and then I'm out for the night. You can kick me, flop on me, or roll on top of me all you want, I don't mind, I'll just snooze right through. Although I am kennel trained, I am a very talented escape artist so if you do have to kennel me while you're away, I might surprise you with what I can actually break out of if I want to. I am awesome at going potty on the leash, you can walk me and I'll do both in less than 5 minutes and be ready to head back in. I am spayed, UTD on my vaccinations, heartworm negative, and microchipped. I am in perfect health and the only 'medical' condition I have is that I must get my breakfast within an hour or two of waking up or I will puke. Mom doesn't know why because it's just green bile and I only do it if I'm hungry. I'm also super smart, did I mention that? I know sit, wait, lay down, not yours, go for a ride (ohhhh I love going for rides!) house, kennel, potty, up ups, and Mom keeps trying to get me to do this 'shake' thing and then she grabs my paw..I don't know she's a weirdo. I don't listen to that one. What do I need in my new home? Love and attention. I need someone willing to play with me. I'm happy to lay around napping for long periods, but I also love play time. I'd be happy with or without a doggy sibling, I like the companionship, but I also like to be the center of attention. Absolutely no cats or birds, I can't resist. I can not be an outside dog. Mom and Dad have spoiled me, I don't even sleep on the floor much less outside. (Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you, I lounge on furniture only so if you aren't ok with that I don't think we will be happy together). I am NOT a hunting dog. Yes I chase cats and probably would chase squirrels and racoons, but I am terrified of loud sounds. Well that about sums me up. Mom says I'm a really wonderful girl, I just need to leave the cats alone. I want to listen to Mom, but it's like I become a whole different girl when a cat is around. My mom said for me to tell you serious inquiries only. This is hard for her so she doesn't want to drag this on with people who aren't going to give me the life I deserve. I am located in Wythe Co, VA
