Evan Hound Mix Longview, TX

NEW ENGLAND ADOPTER NEEDED!

Hello, I'm Evan, a very handsome, athletic 1 yr. old, 50 lb, hound mix named after one of the TX rangers! I was dumped at 5 weeks old on a freezing cold night along a creek in the woods along with my 6 little siblings in the middle of Texas. The ladies who found us said we were out there at least two weeks because we were starving and very skinny. It was rough!but then they saved us and nurtured us back to good health. Life's been good ever since.

Now I made it up to NH and live with my four foster bro's. I'm super happy now and very grateful. Foster mom says I'm a free spirit and incredibly sweet and affectionate. I'm housebroken and well behaved most of the time, but I get into trouble sometimes when I can't tell the difference between my toys and objects like shoes, glasses, the remote control, paint brushes and other things that are fun to run away with. Shoes are my favorite toys! When I get caught I hunker down and try to disappear; foster mom is never really mad at me because I'm so cute when I know I was wrong and guilty. She says I'm at the perfect age to go to doggie obedience school and learn fun tricks and impeccable manners. She says I will get good grades because I am a smart boy. I already sit for treats and I come running back immediately when she calls me. I never wander away and get lost. I run like the wind, super fast. Foster mom says it's great to watch me run. Maybe my grandpa was a Whippet? I surely could win a doggie running race. I don't have much of a prey drive, and don't want to be alpha-dog. I get along well with other dogs (and cats) and would love to have one in my new family. I'm sweet to all animals; I like barking at frogs at night but won't hurt them or any other critter. I haven't been around children, but I'll like them too. I love to go for long hikes and swim like a champ especially with my foster bro. We compete for the sticks and balls thrown far away and return them together. It makes for great little videos. He always wins because I'm not very competitive; I roll with things, and just love to play.

One other good trait is that I'm always very aware of my surroundingsI'll make a good guard dog. I'm not always polite when I meet new people. Foster mom says I need a little training for that too. I will sit for treats, and I will settle down calmly in my crate.

I will be a very easy cheerful loyal affectionate and smart companion and can't wait to find my furrrever home.

We will conduct a phone interview, check references and then a home check. This helps us to match a dog with their potential adopter. The adoption fee is $450.00 for adults and $550.00 for puppies under one year which includes spay/neutering, up-to-date age-appropriate vaccinations, flea/tick & heartworm preventative, and a health certificate. We foster our dogs in homes, not in shelters. This allows us to get to know the dogs' temperaments to match them to a home. This also allows us to get the dogs ready to live in their forever homes! All dogs coming from the south have been quarantined for two weeks and fully vetted before traveling to New England!
