Decker is ready for adoption! After spending the last several months with his foster family recovering from an old break in one of his back legs, he is healed and ready for his forever family and we are so excited for him!
Decker is a 6-month-old, gorgeous tri-color Coonhound, possibly mixed with Swiss Mountain Dog. He is active, playful, loveable, silly, and full of character.
A typical day for Decker is spent rotating from one couch to another lounging, exploring the yard to find sticks to chew on, chilling in his kennel, chomping on and destroying stuffies (squeakers must go!), stalking rabbits from the sunroom couch and advising everyone of their presence, annoying his three dog siblings, and inserting himself unexpectedly and repeatedly into his foster parents' team meeting calls.
As typical for his breed, Decker has lots of energy and stamina, loves to explore, find, and share things with you, or leave them for you to find. He is exuberant about everything and has the typical Coonhound bay and bark.
Decker would be a wonderful fit for a family with a fenced in yard, who like to spend lots of time outdoors, and do not mind sharing the couch with a dog who tends to sprawl and snore whilst napping.
Decker at 6 months is 40 pounds, has a short coat, and fully grown will be a tall boy and likely 60 plus pounds. Coonhounds require lots of exercise and activities to keep their minds engaged, and our scent driven, which is why a fenced in yard would be best for Decker.
Decker is kennel and house trained, has learned to use a doggie door, and he is ready to find his perfect forever family!
Don't let this handsome guy pass you by - you'll regret it! To meet and fall in love with Decker, apply for him at emotionalrescuedogs.org
