Banjo Treeing Walker Coonhound Newport, NC

Meet this handsome fella named Banjo! He originally came into the shelter as a stray on August 16, 2022 and was never reclaimed then adopted. Now he is back as of August 16, 2023 (1 year later) when his family turned him into another shelter and thankful for microchip we were able to get him back with us and he’s now awaiting his adoption day. He is such a handsome hound and is as equally sweet too. He enjoys going out for walks and sniffing around in the play yards. Gets along well with most all dogs. Have socialized with females since he hasn’t been neutered yet. He is keeping his paws crossed that his FOREVER home finds him very soon. Just a sweet boy who is around 7 years old and is now current on shots. Maybe you have the most perfect loving FOREVER home for sweet Banjo?! Visit with him today and give him a chance at a wonderful life he deserves!
If you have another dog and are interested in meeting another potential new furry member please bring him or her to the shelter and meet on neutral ground before adopting. No need to shuffle the animals around any more than necessary. Please know that 1 mosquito bite can create heart worms and they can be fatal if not treated. It is VERY important to keep your pets healthy and protected by keeping them on a once a month heart worm and flea/tick prevention. These animals are counting on you as their owner to provide them with lots a love and the proper health care so PLEASE make sure you are aware and prepared before adopting. Owning a pet is an extra expense and responsibility but is so worth every minute and penny you invest in them. They will add lots of joy and unconditional love if given a fair chance.
The shelter is open Mon.-Fri. 10-1, 2-5, Sat. 10-4. Adopt a homeless pet and save a life. If you can not adopt right now come out and volunteer and make a difference in the lives of these animals while they await their FOREVER home.
In order to adopt any of our "bully breeds" there is special paper work that will need to be collected and approved prior to the adoption. We love all of our dogs and want to make sure to place our "bully babies" in homes best suited for them.
