As I mentioned last week, every Sunday I’ll be featuring adoptable pets from local rescue groups. In particular, I’ll be sharing adorable adoptables from the Humane Society of Fairfax County (HSFC) and A Forever Home Rescue Foundation (A Forever Home).
This week, I’m featuring two Coonhound mixes. Did you know that Coonhounds fall into that dreaded “less adoptable” category that makes it harder for them to find homes? (As always, I’m convinced that “less adoptable” really means “awesome but people are too dumb to see it.”) Check out this week’s post about Coonhound Companions over at Be the Change for Animals to learn more about this awesome breed.
Now, allow me to introduce you to some adorable Coonhounds who are looking for their forever homes…
First up, meet Scupper! This guy is a Coonhound mix, and he’s approximately 3 years old. Here’s his bio from A Forever Home:
“Scupper is a sweet boy with a great personality. He’s completely crate
and house trained. He loves to play tug-o-war with his foster brother
Bailey. Even though he’s skinny he’s a fairly tall dog, so he would do
best in a home with older children. Scupper would greatly appreciate a
new home with active people and a fenced back-yard for play time, and he
would make an ideal running partner. Scupper does have a little fear
of certain dogs and some men, however, I have not had any problem with
him when there’s been a proper introduction. Scupper takes a while to
bond with his caretakers, but once he does he’s forever yours, and has a
great memory for people. Please come visit him at the next adoption
event.”
If Scupper sounds like the running buddy for you, visit A Forever Home for more information or email Info@aforeverhome.org. To view the other pets available for adoption at A Forever Home, click here.
A Forever Home also has a weekly adoption event at the PetCo in Chantilly. For the address and to find out more info, click here.
(If you have your eye on a specific pet, please email for information
first – not all pets will be at the weekly event. However, there are a
lot of awesome pets in need of homes, so if you’re in the neighborhood,
stop by and meet some of them!)
Up next, meet Connie! This lovely lady is also a Coonhound mix, and she weighs approximately 45 pounds. Here’s her bio from HSFC:
her in sugar. She’s a Black and Tan Coonhound and one look into her eyes
will have you hooked forever. She did not had a good life before coming
to us. She was emaciated when she came into our care and very
frightened. She has gained weight and learned to trust us completely.
Her personality shines through more and more each day. She’s great with
other dogs, is only a year old and tries her best to please you. Please
give this sweetheart a chance to show you how wonderful she is. Send in
your dog adoption application today and get ready to be loved
unconditionally.

I love the photo of Scupper with the little black and white puppy protected under his front paws. Very cute.
I hope that they get adopted soon.
Connie is so beautiful! I can't believe it will take any time at all to find her a forever home! (One of these days, I have to fence the yard… stupid hill…)
sharing right now!
Thanks guys!
