PONCHO - Black And Tan Coonhound Dog for Adoption in Houston, Texas

Meet This Lovable Hound!

This handsome boy is as sweet and lovable as they come! He has a heart of gold, adores people, and is convinced he’s a lap dog, no matter his size. He’s affectionate, friendly, and always happy to soak up some love.

He’s done wonderfully with the dogs he’s met so far and seems to enjoy making new four-legged friends. He’s crate trained, sleeps peacefully through the night, and walks well on a leash. He can get excited when he sees other dogs and occasionally lets out a big, classic hound howl!

Like most hounds, he’s intelligent, curious, and has a bit of a stubborn streak. His nose often leads the way, and he loves exploring the world through all its wonderful smells! He would thrive with a family that enjoys walks, outdoor adventures, and fun activities like puzzle toys, snuffle mats, and treat games.

He’s very food motivated, which is great for training, although he never misses an opportunity to hunt for an unattended snack!

Above all, he’s a gentle, affectionate, big-hearted boy who just wants to love and be loved. He has so much personality and would make a wonderful companion for someone who appreciates the charm, loyalty, and occasional stubbornness of a hound.

If you’re looking for a sweet, funny, affectionate best friend with a whole lot of love to give, this special boy could be the one!
