(Cupids) Bow was saved on Valentines day from a kill shelter/Animal Control in TN. He was found as a stray. TN law states dogs found as strays are given 3 days for their owner to find and pick them up. Or for a new adopter to adopt, or a rescue to pull the dog. After 3 days the dog can be euthanized for space. A dog who is brought in by his/her owners, can be euthanized immediately. This particular Animal Control has 10 kennels(stalls), that house stray dogs. There is an EXTREME over population of UNWANTED dogs in TN at this time. EVERY ANIMAL CONTROL/SHELTER AND RESCUE IS FULL. These discarded, deserted dogs that once had families that loved them, or people who cared for them, HAVE NO WHERE TO GO. EUTHANASIA rates have INCREASED in the last year, a lot of this is due to the huge wave of people who adopted/bought/bred dogs during the pandemic. Now that people have gone back to work, dogs are being dumped at alarmingly high rates. In Bows case, often times we seen Coonhounds, and other hounds who their people have thrown them out like trash, because they were purchased to be hunting dogs. If the dog doesn't hunt, the dog is useless to that owner. The right thing to do, would be to love the dog anyway. The next best thing would be to find a loving home with a friend or family member, and as a last resort bring to the shelter in hopes someone will adopt the dog. BUT most times these dogs are just "Turned out" " Thrown out", deserted, abandoned, left to fend for their themselves. Bow is merley one years old, he had/has his whole life ahead of him. He deserved so much more than to be tossed out and left to survive on his own. He is a sweet, happy go lucky. silly, playful, good boy. He loves everyone he meets, he LOVES to play with other dogs. He is just happy about LIFE! He loves to be in the sunshine, and smell the grass and flowers. He is happy to greet you with kisses and excitement - excitment that somone has come to see HIM! The dog his people didn't want. The dog that was useless, no good, worthless to his previous owner. While Bow may not be a hunter, he is GREAT at being a BEST FRIEND! He is a LOYAL companion, and he will make a family very happy, a family who doesn't see him as uselss. Bow is a 1 year old neutered male Treeing walker coonhound, and a GORGEOUS one at that! He is about 50lbs, sweet, and friendly, crate trained, and housebroken (currently with a dog door), he attends day care and has made lots and lots of doggo and people friends. He is good with kids, we suggest 10 years and up due to his age, and size. He has NOT been cat tested so we are unsure how he would do with cats. His best bud was Haylee, a very sweet shepard mix, who is currenrly pending adoption. Bows hope is that he will find a loving caring home like his pal Haylee did. Bow arrives in New England on 04/08/2023. And is hoping to find a loving foster home or FURever home! ( We can not save them if they do not have a safe home to go to). He is a special boy, saved on Valentines Day, was a sign, that he will find the love and family he deserves! Watch his YouTube link: https://youtu.be/9MyR-yBSxQ8
