About Floppy

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Hi, I’m Floppy! My ears may have a mind of their own, but that’s just part of my charm. I’m a 10 month old Walker Coonhound, around 47 pounds now, and I’ll likely top out at 50lbs of pure love. I can be a little shy at first, but once I warm up, I’m all in. I love hard and won’t ever leave your side. I’m great with other dogs... if they can keep up! I’d do best with a playful pup who matches my energy, or I’d be just as happy being your one-and-only. I’m not much of a barker, but I am a howler that’s just a hound thing! I like to express myself I also have a superpower I can smell a treat from the opposite side of the house. Seriously... try hiding one if you dare! Water is my absolute favorite thing in the world. Bathtub? Kiddie pool? Lake? Yes, yes, and YES. If it involves water, count me in! I’m also a big adventure guy I don’t want to just sit around all day. My dream home includes hikes, walks, road trips, or any adventure where I can be your loyal sidekick. After all the fun, I’m happiest curled up right next to you. Good news: I’m fully potty trained Still learning: crates... I prefer being out with my humans. If you’re looking for a sweet, goofy, water loving adventure partner with floppy ears and a heart as big as mine, I’m your guy! Apply to meet me at https://bit.ly/RRAdoptionApplication

About Hound Dogs

Hound dogs encompass a large group of breeds originally developed for hunting, using either their keen sense of smell (scent hounds) or sharp eyesight (sighthounds). They share common traits including friendly temperaments, loyalty, and a love of outdoor exploration. Hound mixes are some of the most common and rewarding shelter dogs.

Adopting a Hound means bringing home a gentle, often easygoing companion who appreciates a good walk and quality time with their family. Many hounds are vocal and expressive, and their loyalty runs deep. They make wonderful family pets for those who enjoy their distinctive personalities.

Local Climate & Pet Care

Winter

20°F to 38°F

Dec – Feb

Cold temperatures and regular snowfall require warm coats for pets and paw protection from salt and ice. Winter inversions trap pollution in the valley, so monitor air quality before long walks. Higher-elevation trails may be snow-packed.

Spring

38°F to 65°F

Mar – May

Snowmelt creates muddy trail conditions at lower elevations and runoff can make streams dangerous. Spring wildflowers in the foothills are beautiful for hikes. Temperatures can swing 30 degrees in a single day, so layer appropriately.

Summer

62°F to 95°F

Jun – Aug

Hot and dry at valley level, but mountain canyons offer cooler retreats. Carry extra water as pets dehydrate faster at altitude. Afternoon thunderstorms are common in the mountains, so start hikes early and watch for lightning.
