About Hooch Sponsored

Meet Hooch, a lovable Bluetick Coonhound who's looking for his forever home. Having started off as a stray near the West Virginia line, Hooch is currently thriving in a foster situation with other dogs, including Dulcie and Dewey, who bring out his playful side. Though he's warming up to people, it's clear he might have faced challenges in his early days. Hooch benefits from being around other confident dogs. He's a quiet guy, house and crate trained, and gets along well with both male and female dogs. However, he hasn’t been tested around cats yet. Given his background, Hooch would thrive best in a dog-savvy home that has a friendly canine companion and a secure fenced yard. Hooch is already neutered and up-to-date on his vaccinations, including a microchip with lifetime registration, heartworm test, and more. With zero adoption fee thanks to sponsorship, he comes with a new lead and collar, along with an adoption kit and 30 days of Pet First Pet Insurance. This charming hound is ready for a fresh start.
