Lewis (sweet!) Redbone Coonhound & Bloodhound Mix Chicago, IL

This adorable, squishy, smooshy, precious face belongs to Lewis! Lewis is one of the newest rescue kids on the Pal's Place block, and this derpy boy is just as sweet as he looks! Pal's Place rescued him from an open-intake animal control facility in Kentucky. Unfortunately, he was brought in as a stray and was never claimed. His history and ancestry are unknown, but he is estimated to be approximately five years of age and weighs 60 pounds. His appearance and characteristics suggest some hound breeds, possibly Rottie and/or Boxer or Bullmastiff in his family tree. Still, without a DNA test, we cannot say what breeds make up this uniquely handsome fella.
Lewis is enjoying the comforts and kindness of a foster home in Chicago while waiting to meet his forever family. He is a friendly, easy-going, and adaptable guy who fits in easily in most homes. Lewis loves people new people and has been fantastic with the other dogs in his foster home. His interests include long walks, Nylabones, Kongs, soft blankets, cushy beds, couch cuddles, and affection. Lewis is playful and engaging and has brief moments of excitability, but overall, his energy is a more mellow, gentle vibe. He's well-behaved in the home, crate trained, and housebroken, but he does not appear to know any commands, so his adoptive guardians should be prepared to help him learn the basics. Lewis is ready and eager to meet you. Please submit your application today!
