Northeast Coonhound Rescue, Inc. NECR's page is for sharing pictures, videos, information and fun facts about coonhounds - the breed we know and love! www.necoonhoundrescue.org.
(52)

Direct specific rescue/adoption requests to [email protected]. Coonhounds are abandoned in shelters because in many parts of the country they have very little value as pets. They are often kept outside in pens and sometimes do not even have names. They are often surrendered after hunting season is over, or if as young dogs they do not prove themselves to be good trackers. They can also b

ecome stray after wandering off, as well as falling victim to changes in the owners health, finances or living situation - like all shelter dogs. Because they are so 'common' in the South and relatively unknown in the North, coonhounds often never make it out of shelters and are passed over by other dog rescue groups.

THANK YOU! We are grateful to everyone who donated to help cover the cost of Admiral's gastrointestinal surgery (twisted stomach) last weekend. Once again our wonderful supporters have shown how much they care about our rescue mission !
This condition is too often fatal, but Admiral's caregivers caught it in time and it looks like he'll make a good recovery. Admiral has returned to the kennel where he is staying and except for losing a portion of his beautiful mahogany-colored coat, he's doing well.

Arriving this weekend!!
Giselle is a beautiful hound girl from Virginia. She's very sweet and affectionate; a little shy at first but loves attention and warms up quickly. She's been in a foster home where she's a typical young hound: active, jumps around her pen, would love to chase deer, rabbits, squirrels, and cats, but is not aggressive. She may be able to be trained to live with a cat. She'd be happy with another dog to play with. Giselle loves her food but has not displayed any aggression around food. We think she'd be fine with kids. She'll need a tall fence, and should not be left alone outside, she can jump vertically when she gets excited. She can be a barker, especially at wildlife. Giselle is learning leash manners; it's pretty clear that leash walking is new to her and she'll need some training. She has potential to be a great pet and companion with a little patience and TLC. Giselle is about 3 yrs old and weighs about 52 lbs. Arriving in Massachusetts August 24, and will be fostering in southeastern MA. If interested in adopting Giselle, please visit the Adopt section of our website at [email protected]

Admiral had a rough weekend. He was rushed to the emergency vet in Roanoke VA for emergency surgery on Saturday evening for a twisted stomach (GPV). He's recovering now and the prognosis is good. If all goes well, he will transport to Massachusetts next month as planned.
Meanwhile we have a whopping big vet bill to pay. Admiral hasn't been discharged yet, but it will be over $4000. This has been one of our worst years with several unexpected surgeries, a local owner surrender with heart problems, several cases of heartworm, the list goes on.
Please help us with a donation so that we can continue our work this year.

Here's Clyde ( again). This very nice hound boy has been waiting for a Forever home for 7 months now, after being abandoned by another rescue at a Virginia boarding facility for several months back in 2023. He's a good boy, nothing wrong with him and we've placed far more difficult hounds in less time. Clyde is just a normal houndy hound who likes doing hound things. Loves his walks and being outside; gets along with other dogs; loves his food but is not aggressive about it. He's housebroken, knows some obedience commands, and will make a great companion. What's not to like?? Clyde weighs about 55 lbs and is about 5 - 6 yrs old. He's available for visits in southern NH. If interested, please visit the Adopt page on our website at necoonhoundrescue.org If not interested, please share this post and let's find Clyde a Home !

Snoop is an adorable 1 yr old male Beagle who is looking for a new home again. He originally came from a breeder and has been passed around too many times in his young life by people who couldn't accommodate a Beagle puppy. Snoop has a happy personality and seems to view all of this as an adventure. He's friendly with people and other dogs, and has shown no aggression. Snoop has some obedience training and knows 'Sit'. He's housebroken and walks well on leash. He doesn't love the crate but will tolerate it. Snoop also loves to play fetch, which is unusual for a Beagle. He's still very much a puppy and is an insistent playmate with other dogs, which could be aggravating for an older dog. He's full of energy ( when he's not konked out) and will chew things if not given appropriate toys. He's affectionate and loves snuggling with his people. Snoop is petit at about 20 lbs. Please visit the Adopt page of our website at necoonhoundrescue.org if interested.

Snoop is a 1 yr old male Beagle puppy weighing about 20 lbs - full of love and kisses for everyone! He's an active playful little guy; he enjoys chase games with the Beagle and Lab at the home of the good samaritans who took him in. Snoop knows 'Sit' and is housebroken. He sleeps quietly in his crate overnight after some brief whining. Snoop also plays "fetch' and will retrieve a ball - which is pretty unusual for a Beagle! Snoop is a local owner surrender from someone whose work and schedule was a not a good fit for an active puppy. He has been passed around through several homes in his young life. He seems to view change as a new adventure and is happy to meet new people. But at this point, he needs an adopter who can focus on creating a stable environment with daily structure and exercise, and continued work on obedience training. Snoop gets along with other dogs, is probably fine around kids, and has shown no aggression in any situation. Snoop is available in Massachusetts for visits. If interested, please visit our website at necoonhoundrescue.org to complete our Adoption Application.

Our Story

Northeast Coonhound Rescue is dedicated to the welfare and rescue of coonhounds, hound mixes, and beagles through the transport of dogs from southern and midwestern states to the Northeast. We also are focused on promoting the breeds and educate potential adopters about owning Coonhounds.

Coonhounds are the all American scent hounds. Sadly many are abandoned in shelters because in many parts of the country they have very little value as pets. They are often kept outside in pens and sometimes do not even have names. They are often surrendered after hunting season is over, or if as young dogs they do not prove themselves to be good trackers. They can also become stray after wandering off, as well as falling victim to changes in the owners health, finances or living situation - like all shelter dogs. Because they are so 'common' in the South and relatively unknown in the North, coonhounds often never make it out of shelters and are passed over by other dog rescue groups. Northeast Coonhound Rescue aims to change this through adoption and education.

For those unfamiliar with the breeds, there are six recognized breeds by the AKC: American English Coonhound (Redtick), Black and Tan, Bluetick, , Redbone, Plott Hound, and Treeing Walker Coonhound. The UKC also recognizes the American Leopard Hound as part of the Coonhound family. Most coonhounds (all but Plott and American Leopard) are descendants of foxhounds. Plotts are descendant of German boar hounds and the American Leopard is from Spanish and Mexican hunting dogs.
