Meet Deputy, a sweet soul with a heart of gold, born under the most dire circumstances. With a mother who was a stray and living in an abandoned shack, Deputy and his siblings were found huddled together in the cold, rainy January. 🥶 It was a heartbreaking scene, as their brave mom tried to keep them safe amidst such danger. Despite her best efforts, many puppies sadly didn't make it, but fate brought Deputy and his brother, Roscoe, to the safety of a foster home, where their journey to love and trust truly begins. Deputy is the cautious one—a thoughtful explorer who observes before diving into fun. Imagine a little pup who wants to join the adventure but prefers to watch from a comfy distance! This adorable boy has the unique markings of a coonhound, complete with those enchanting "pumpkin seeds" above his mesmerizing brown eyes. 🐾 With the body of a basset hound and his chubby little paws facing east and west, Deputy is undeniably one of a kind and oh-so-cute! Although he’s gentle and friendly with dogs of all sizes, he’s still learning to warm up to the concept of humans. This lovable boy will need a patient adopter who understands the nuances of fearful pups. 🌟 He’s healthy, has a lush coat that shines with vitality, and expressive eyes that convey so much about his sweet personality. Deputy is a keenly aware watch dog, ready to guard his future home while sprinkling it with love. ❤️ His ideal home will need a fenced yard where he can safely roam as he builds confidence. For those looking to step into the rewarding challenge of fostering, Dirt Road Doggie's Rescue is here to offer the support needed as Deputy transitions.
