Cletus Treeing Walker Coonhound Newport, NC

Meet this handsome fella named Cletus! He came in as a stray July 8, 2022 and was never reclaimed so he’s awaiting his adoption day. He is 8 years old, current on shots, now neutered (9/18/22), and settling into shelter life. He has met several other pups and seems to like them. He came in scared and unsure of shelter life but thanks to staff and volunteers he’s adjusting better daily. He has enjoying running and sniffing around in the runners out back. We suspect he was a hunting dog at some point in his life and had not had much leash walking though he is learning. He’s sweet and loves soaking up all the body rubs and loving one has to share with him. Stop by the shelter for a visit with this sweet fella and give him a loving FOREVER home to enjoy his “golden years” being a loved and pampered pooch.
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.
