You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Peggy is a coonhound mix who came to us on 2/26/2026, after fulfilling her legal stray hold at the city pound. She could be related to dogs we've had over the last couple of years whose parents were a Great Dane mix and bluetick coonhound, which would make her 2 to 3 years old. Peggy did arrive with a pretty significant "cherry eye", which is a prolapse of the 3rd eyelid, and has been on a course of meds to manage it. We are hoping that it can be surgically corrected during her spay surgery on March 26th. She has been fully vet checked and chipped and her adoption fee is $150. Peggy is a great gal and is looking for a home that is somewhat accustomed to hounds. They tend to be controlled by their noses and can be stubborn and vocal. Peggy will require regular exercise. She does seem to have had some basic training. We're not yet sure how she would do with other dogs and are thinking that cats are probably a no. Kids over 5 should be fine with her. She is not a dog for apartment living. NOTE: Adoptions are done via private appointment once an application has been completed and approved. Applications must be submitted at our website, mchs.rescuegroups.org. We are located at 101 22nd St. SE in Austin, right next to the airport. It's exit 180B off of I-90, right off of 218 South. We do require that potential adopters be at least 21 years old and that any resident dogs be up to date on vaccinations, heartworm testing/preventatives, and spayed or neutered.
