I'm a loveable, goofy, sweet dog. My humans LOVE me, and I love them too. But my home life isn't good for me and, to be honest, I'm pretty miserable. I need to live someplace where my skills are appreciated and where I have room to run and play. I'm a country dog, but we didn’t understand that when my humans brought me home. I'm 4 ½ years old and I weigh 86 pounds. I'm a beautiful hound dog with g
reat watchdog skills. I'm happy to alert my family when someone is too close to our space. But, I live in a
city where people walk by all the time. My humans keep telling me that it's okay when other humans and dogs walk past, but I bark just in case. Unfortunately, the neighbors think this is rude of me and do a lot of complaining. I'm just trying to keep everyone safe. I'm great with varmint control too. I love to run and chase anything I see–groundhogs, rabbits, possums, cats, snakes, and more–and I almost always catch them. I’m always prouder of myself than my humans are, and that makes me feel unappreciated. Catching critters is an important skill and I’m downright talented. I have a pretty good yard as far as city yards go, but not too long ago I found out that there's a lot of adventure outside my gate. My humans worry because we live on a busy road and because city dogs are not allowed to run around without their people or a leash. I don't worry though, I escape every chance I get anyway. They keep fixing the fence, but I’m smarter than they are so I just keep looking for a new way out. This apparently causes my humans a lot of stress and fear. They love me, and they just want me to be in a safe loving home.
