UPDATE: Annie has recently joined the cell dog program.  During this program she will be trained by selected inmates who will be overseen by a professional dog trainer. She will attend classes to learn more about house training, basic obedience and some fun tricks too! Annie can be visited and even adopted while she is in the Cell Dog program.

Hi,Annie here. I am a 3 year old red tick coonhound of apx 35 pounds, a little small for my breed. I was at the pound for a long time praying for a taxi out of there.It finally came in the form of the rescue. I am a coonhound, but actaully I am a clown hound. We make wonderful pets and fit right in with family life, because we are lovers,not fighters.We know of a few who are working as Therapy Dogs and in Search and Rescue. Coonhounds are intelligent, entertaining and amusing. We have a sense of humor, too. We are very social and easily adapt to other pets in your family and do great with children. Coonhounds do enjoy a daily walk, but are also very happy to sleep the day away on the couch.See, we want the best of both worlds.Outside activities are more fun with a canine companion so check me out. Coonies and Beagles ,due to their gentle nature make great family pets!
