Natalie was one of 4 Plott Hounds that were saved as young puppies from a high-kill shelter by another rescue, and recently they officially became HERO Hound gals!
At approximately 8 months old and around 40 pounds each, these girls are still very much puppies who are learning what it means to be loved, safe, and part of a family.
The sisters have spent much of their lives being fostered together in an outdoor kennel environment, but they have been around dogs of all shapes and sizes and have done very well. When they’re out of the kennel, they are surprisingly calm, sweet-natured girls who clearly want affection and are ready to discover the good life.
Of the four, Nora and Nicole are currently the braver, more outgoing sisters, while Naomi and Natalie are a little more reserved and need some extra time to feel comfortable. But underneath those different personalities are four loving girls who want to trust, learn, and please their people.
Their foster has been bringing them inside individually to help each girl experience home life without the pressure or security of having her sisters right beside her. They are making progress, but their future families should be prepared to patiently teach them all the basics — including house training, leash walking, household routines, and what it means to simply be a family dog.
There are cats on the property, and while the girls have barked at them, they haven’t had enough close interaction for us to confidently say how they would do living with cats just yet.
Considering these girls were once dumped as puppies and left to fend for themselves, their gentle and loving personalities are pretty incredible. They haven’t had the easiest beginning, but they are ready for their next chapter — one filled with soft beds, adventures, belly rubs, treats, and families of their very own.
