Greyhound and Plott Hound Dogs Available for Adoption in East Hartford, Connecticut

Meet Brin! She is a 6 year old Greyhound/Plott Hound mix and currently weighs 64lbs. Brin and her housemate Penney, came to us after their owner went into a nursing home due to advancing dementia. She is an absolute sweetheart and a total stunner with her gorgeous light brindle coloring. Brin is an amazing blend of medium energy - she is happy to trot and run around, but is also content to just hang out with you for pets and praise. Brin is not bonded to Penney, but does enjoy the company of other dogs. Sturdy children 8 years of age and older could be a good fit for her as she might accidentally bump into a little one when snacks are involved! To inquire further about Brin, please email her adoption counselor Tracey at tracey.d@poainc.org and complete an adoption application ASAP at www.poainc.org
