About Rooster

Rooster is a resilient Coonhound who came to us after being rescued from a hoarding situation in South Carolina, alongside 9 companions. Now in Loxahatchee, FL, he is ready to find a loving home where he can thrive. This medium-sized boy, at 5 years and 2 months old, is neutered and up to date on vaccinations. Rooster doesn’t have any special needs, making him an adaptable companion. He would do well in various living environments, provided he gets the love and attention he deserves. Rooster has a gentle disposition, and while he enjoys the company of people, his history suggests he may take time to adjust to new surroundings. His heartworm treatment is in progress, and with care, he’ll be back to his playful self soon. Think you can give Rooster the forever home he deserves? What are you waiting for? Apply today!
