Newfoundland Dog and Redbone Coonhound Dogs Available for Adoption in Homewood, Illinois

🚨 ATTENTION EVERYONE 🚨 Urgent foster needed

Meet Duke.

Duke was surrendered because he is apparently… too friendly. 😭😂

Yes. You read that correctly.

This 90 pound goober was supposed to be a “farm dog,” but instead of protecting livestock, Duke decided he would actually prefer to become BEST FRIENDS with literally every living creature he meets.

🐐 Goats? Friends.
🦆 Ducks? Friends.
🐓 Chickens? Friends.
🐈 Cats? Friends.
🐕 Dogs? BESTIES.
👨 Humans? Obsessed.

At one point Duke allegedly visited the neighbor’s house and brought home a duck… not to hurt it… but because he wanted a playdate. 😭💀

Sir. That is kidnapping.

Duke is basically a gigantic golden marshmallow with zero understanding of personal space. He believes:
• every lap belongs to him
• every stranger came over specifically to meet him
• water is the greatest invention of all time
• leash training is optional cardio for humans

Now before everyone says “OMG I NEED HIM,” here’s the honest scoop:
✨ He’s not housebroken yet
✨ He’s not neutered yet (appointment scheduled)
✨ He’s going to need structure and training
✨ He is LARGE and in charge at 90 lbs of pure enthusiasm

But if you want a hilarious, loving, goofy best friend who wakes up every day acting like life is the greatest party ever thrown… Duke is your guy. 💜

The Newfoundland Dog is a large and powerful breed known for their gentle and sweet nature. Originating from Newfoundland, Canada, these dogs are excellent swimmers with a thick water resistant coat. Their impressive size and strength make them ideal working dogs for water rescue missions. With a friendly demeanor and patient attitude, Newfoundland Dogs are great family pets, especially with children. Training and socialization are crucial for these intelligent and loyal companions to thrive.

The Redbone Coonhound is a versatile and intelligent hunting dog known for its striking red coat and endurance in the field. Bred in the United States, these dogs excel at tracking and treeing game, particularly raccoons. Their melodious bay is distinctive, making them valuable in hunting competitions and search and rescue operations. Redbone Coonhounds are loyal, affectionate companions, but require regular exercise and mental stimulation to thrive in a family setting.
