animal description

Cassio is 1 of 9 puppies found in a culvert pipe and rescued.  One puppy didn't make it, the remaining 8 came to our rescue. One is as adorable as the next.  The puppies are estimated to be about 1 year old as of April 1, 2024.  They are microchipped and up to date on age appropriate core vaccines amd neutered.  We have no information on parents and as such can't guarantee size.

NEEDS TO BE AN ONLY DOG, gets along with all dogs in public and for playdates, LOVES to play with other dogs, but prefers his home and his people to himself. Cassio is the largest of the bunch, 75lbs as of April 2024. Cassio is a typical energetic pup and then some, he displays working dog behaviors and needs an active family, and REQUIRES a completely fenced in yard. New home MUST have adequate space considering his breed (American English Coonhound, adopted brother was DNA tested). Cassio can be a vocal guy and if he wants something, will let you know, therefore no shared walls (apartments, townhomes, etc). He is house trained but will need reinforcement and a schedule. Cassio is crate trained and sleeps through the night. Cassio is extremely loving and always excited to see new people and dogs on walks. He is being fostered with numerous small dogs who he has been with since 2.5 months old and gets along with and respects all of them, however, when attempting to be adopted to a new home with a small/medium dog, Cassio displayed guarding and territory issues. Although Cassio is working on his manners, he doesn't know his size and is too jumpy for small children.
