About Prince

Prince is about a year and a half old, weighing in at 45 pounds with striking tricolor markings. He’s a Treeing Walker Coonhound through and through: smart, energetic, playful, and always looking for the next adventure. Prince has a sweet and eager-to-please temperament. He has been vaccinated, is neutered, and is heartworm-negative (kept on regular prevention). He’s house trained and crate trained, which makes home life easier. Prince gets along well with other dogs—he absolutely loves to play and is happiest with canine company. He’s had positive experiences with cats in the past, but after a recent return due to showing a bit too much interest, a cat-free home is strongly recommended for him. Prince has lived around young kids, though older children are best, since he can get a little rambunctious. His high energy means he’ll thrive with an active adopter who enjoys training and outdoor adventures. Prince is waiting in Chesapeake, VA, but adopters anywhere in the US or Canada can bring him home—transport is included. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
