Minnie is a sweet, curious, playful hound girl. She’s full of energy, very outgoing and likes to meet new people. She enjoys running, playing chase and tumbling with the other young dog at her foster home. She’s housebroken, rides well in the car, and has learned commands like ‘sit’ and ‘paws off’ . Minnie sleeps all night in her crate and is also comfortable going there for rest periods. Minnie will do well as an only dog or with another dog for play and companionship.
Minnie is a pretty bluetick coonhound from West Virginia. She was an owner surrender after she had an accidental litter with another resident dog. All of the puppies found homes and the owners decided to rehome her as well. Minnie is now in a Rhode Island foster home and is ready for visits.
