Nickel - Coonhound and Mixed Breed Dog Available for Adoption in Milan, Illinois

Nickel is absolutely priceless!

Nickel is a 4-year-old Hound mix who came to us from another shelter after being found as a stray. While we may not know much about her past, we're excited to help her find the future she deserves, a home filled with love, comfort, and plenty of adventures.

This sweet girl is the perfect mix of explorer and snuggle bug. She loves following her nose to discover new sights and smells, but when the adventure is over, you'll likely find her curled up under a cozy blanket, soaking up all the cuddles she can get.

And if you're a hound lover, Nickel speaks your language! She's a vocal girl who isn't shy about sharing her opinions, announcing exciting discoveries, or simply chatting with her favorite people. Her personality is as big as her heart, and she brings joy wherever she goes.

Nickel is also part of our Paws Forward Program, which means her adopter will receive three free training sessions with Janette from Kind K9s. These sessions are a great way to help her settle into her new home and build an even stronger bond with her new family.

After her journey as a stray, Nickel is ready for something permanent. A soft blanket. A loving family. A place where she never has to wonder where she belongs again.

If you're looking for a loyal companion with a sweet spirit, an adventurous nose, and plenty of hound charm, come meet Nickel. We think you'll agree that she's worth far more than her name suggests.

Please call us at 309-787-6830 and leave a message to arrange a meeting with her!

The Coonhound is a versatile and athletic breed known for its exceptional hunting abilities and loyalty. With a strong sense of smell and impressive tracking skills, Coonhounds are often used for hunting raccoons and other game. This breed is friendly, outgoing, and makes a devoted companion for an active family. Coonhounds come in different varieties, including the Black and Tan Coonhound, Redbone Coonhound, and Treeing Walker Coonhound, each with its own unique characteristics and qualities.

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.
