It's been a very long journey, but our one-time coonhound mix puppy Onyx, now grown-up Inzo, has gone to an adoptive home. He came to PLR as a tiny nursing puppy with his mother and littermates in 2022, was adopted a few months later and then several months after that, landed in a local shelter after being found as a stray. We went and got him. We eventually transferred him to the American Black and Tan Coonhound Rescue, thinking he'd have an easier time finding a hound-savy home. Some things just take time, though. Now, 2-1/2 years later, a couple saw his picture, were struck by his soulful eyes and just had to make him part of their family. He rode up to Colorado to meet his new family Sunday, courtesy of a couple of volunteers. In addition to his new dog-smart mom and dad, he has a Lab sister, with another hound expected to be adopted soon. He also has a big back yard bordered by forests with lots of room to run, sniff and explore. Happy forever, Inzo!
