Rachel - Coonhound Dog for Adoption in Lexington, Massachusetts

Rachel came into a Virginia shelter with most of her litter of redtick coonhounds - all beautiful dogs and all now have rescue or adopters waiting. Rachel is doing well at her foster home with her sister Monica. She loves people and loves attention. There are puppies and larger dogs there and Rachel does well with all of them. She's almost completely housebroken and knows how to use the doggie door. She has a good appetite but is not food aggressive. Rachel is about 9 months old and is about 40 lbs. She will arrive in Massachusetts in early September.
