Peggy is a coonhound mix who came to us on 2/26/2026, after fulfilling her legal stray hold at the city pound. She was very likely part of a large litter of puppies born in late November 2023 to a Great Dane mix mother and bluetick coonhound father. They were all the product of a bad situation in our area and we think most of the pups, if not all, made it to our shelter for adoption. That is now all behind Peggy and she is very resilient dog who recovered amazingly well after having one of her eyes surgically removed. A large growth on the eye that could not be safely taken out on its own necessitated its removal. Peggy has been vet checked, spayed, and microchipped, and her fee is $150.
Peggy is really a delightful gal who is looking for a home that is somewhat accustomed to hounds. They tend to be controlled by their noses and can be a bit stubborn and vocal. Peggy is loving and affectionate and will require regular exercise. We think she could be okay with a well mannered male dog. Cats are probably a no. Kids over 5 should be fine with her. She is not a dog for apartment living.
