Plott Hound and Treeing Walker Coonhound Dogs Available for Adoption in South Burlington, Vermont

Meet Ophelia!

This lanky, long-legged hound mix is all precious puppy. She is full of energy, curiosity, and affection. With her floppy hound ears and expressive personality, Ophelia is hard not to fall in love with! She loves being outside, going for walks, playing with toys, and stretching her legs whenever she gets the chance. After she's had an outlet for all that puppy energy, she settles in nicely for cuddles and naps with her people. Ophelia recently came back into our care when her guardians began struggling with their health.

Ophelia is a social, playful dog who enjoys meeting people. She's still learning her manners but she's eager to learn and responds well to positive reinforcement, structure and redirection. She'll benefit from adopters who can continue building her confidence through positive experiences, consistency, and patience. If you're looking for a playful, affectionate adventure buddy who will keep you laughing, keep you moving, and then snuggle up close at the end of the day, Ophelia may be your new best friend!
