Sherman * - Black And Tan Coonhound and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Hackett, Arkansas

Meet Sherman!!

Sherman is anxiously waiting for life with his forever family! He is the sweetest little black and tan coonhound mix you'll ever meet! He has an estimated birthdate of 8/31/17 and weighs in currently at 37 pounds. But this guy is still somewhat underweight so he won't stay at that weight long.

Sherman's story is that of true heartbreak. He had been abandoned, left to wander the streets along for way too long. He lost much of his hair die to a skin condition and became severely underweight - sadly, he just wasn't very good at finding food on his own. He was picked up by animal control and was living life in a local pound. The pound had become very overcrowded and that put poor Sherman at the top of the euthanasia list.

Sherman's story stuck with one of our foster families, and, thanks to them Sherman is out of that horrible pound and in a loving foster home and is getting the medical care he needs. He is undergoing treatment to help him battle his skin issues and he has been brought current on his vaccinations. But he has tested positive for heartworms so he is also being treated for those on the slow kill method. The Artemis Project is covering this treatment and will continue to provide and fund the medications until he is clear of heartworms, even if he is adopted before that so please don't let that negatively impact your decision to give this wonderful and deserving guy a home of his own.

No dog should suffer this way, especially one with such a gentle spirit. Please, step up and be his lifeline. We're convinced you will fall in love when you meet him - he just needs someone to give him a chance. His foster dad says, "His kisses are awesome and his attitude is great!" Give Sherman a chance to win your heart and become your best friend forever! Please submit an application to meet/adopt him @

The Black and Tan Coonhound is a versatile and diligent hunting dog known for its distinctive black and tan coat. These medium to large sized hounds are renowned for their exceptional tracking abilities, particularly when hunting raccoons. With a loyal and friendly disposition, Black and Tan Coonhounds make great family pets, though they require regular exercise and mental stimulation to thrive. Their deep, melodious baying voice and strong scent tracking instincts are characteristics that highlight their hunting heritage.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
