Cavalier - Black And Tan Coonhound Dog for Adoption in Berea, Kentucky

I came to the shelter as a stray, and unfortunately no one ever came looking for me. I have a little life experience under my belt, and I like to think I'm a pretty easygoing guy. I keep a tidy kennel, walk well on a leash, and I'm generally a quiet dog.

I go out in a small playgroup with other calm dogs that mostly just coexist and don't really bother each other. I also have a kennel mate that I do well with. One thing I've shown the staff is that I like to be the "fun police" when younger, rowdier dogs start playing too rough. Because of that, I'd probably do best in a home with other laid-back, respectful dogs rather than energetic ones that are always looking to wrestle.

I enjoy going on walks and don't really pull on the leash, making me an easy walking companion. I've also done well with kids and have a calm, gentle personality that makes me a great fit for a quieter home. If you're looking for a laid-back buddy who enjoys a nice stroll and relaxing by your side, I just might be your guy.
