Festus - Redbone Coonhound Dog for Adoption in Newport, Tennessee

Yes, he is house trained!!
He is a snuggler who will lay by you for live marathons!

He likes to hang out on the deck, sits in the sun, grinning, and taking in his surroundings.

He's a quick learner and is becoming comfortable on lead. and responds well to instruction- tho of course he'd rather just run!! But he comes back and he's learning to stay close during off-lead walks! He would love someone who would love to teach him!!

Rides in the car! A bit anxiously at first until he knows you're taking him somewhere fun and not back to the shelter.

He would LOVE to be adopted by a runner and he would be your long distance companion!!
