She is at the shelter where I volunteer and she is going kennel crazy. :(
I wish I could foster her, but I can't. :( If you know anyone that is looking for a hound or a professional couch potato, or just a faithful companion..
please show them Memphis! She is sweet as can be.

She's a sweetheart and any family would be lucky to have her..but if anyone is interested needs to know the breed. Hounds are not for everyone. I love my hound, Buster to death and they are truly one of the best dogs out there. Plus, they have A LOT of energy and need lots of exercise, follow their nose and bark non-stop. AND you have to know what you're getting yourself into as well. oh yeah, she's around 9 months - a year. :)

Memphis is so beautiful. I adore hound dogs. Good luck, and I'll be praying that she gets a wonderful home :).
thank you! :) I adore hounds myself, of course I have one but I have always loved hounds! :D I don't see myself living without a hound. :)
I definitely see myself with a hound in the future. I've always loved Beagles.Quote:

Do volunteers walk the dogs - put her on a list and see if she can be rotated for "shorter" walks 2-3 x's a day. Are toys allowed. See that she gets a Kong by a volunteer daily to keep her busy. I know these sound pretty pitiful, but when dogs start that at shelters I'm/been at we work with staff to provide some outlet. Some dogs do better than others (if you can even call it that) in shelter enviroments, so find the few that occasionally need extra attention and work with others to help them. & they'll make it threw.Quote:

She isn't urgent or anything, but she really does need a home. :( She'd make someone a good hunting buddy since she has a lot of potential. Just as long as they treat her right is all I want her to find a loving home with someone who is going to love and cherish her for the rest of her days and make her apart of the family..meaning being inside as well.Quote:

isn't she, though? :) hehe, I took her picture and take most pictures there for the website. :D I would seriously adopt her in a heartbeat if I wasn't at my limit and if she was good with cats. but I would be so crazy for adopting another hound. ;)
Yes, I hear that "song" from so many vols, it's hard to resist, you literally have to be at limits. I'd take every one - if humanly possible, but millions - bit impossible for me in this life. I'm a pushover....Quote:

Aww. I have a fondness for beagles, (and similar hounds) and her colouring is lovely. I must also consider that there are many dogs closer to me that must also be saved. Good luck. :)
thanks! :) She's not a beagle, though. ;) She's an american foxhound. :)
She sure is a beautiful girl, I hope she is adopted very soon!
Oh I only wish I could foster her! But I will look for a person that can.
thanks you 2! :) I have a person in my state a couple of hours away from me looking for people who want a hound. Plus I am going to expose her more in 2 other towns as well. :)
Tia, I immediately thought of Ziggy as well!!
She's adorable, I hope she finds her forever family soon!
