Rey

Meet Rey! <br/><br/>A thoughtful almost five-year-old Treeing Walker Coonhound mix currently living in Medford, MA, whose heart beats strongest for bacon-scented fetch balls, cozy naps, and training games that come with tasty rewards.<br/><br/>With her striking black and fawn coat and expressive eyes that light up for treats, Rey is both clever and loyal! Shes house-trained, crate-trained, and knows an impressive list of commands like sit, stay, heel, touch, and even hold, where shell patiently balance a treat on her nose. Walks around the neighborhood and treat-dispensing puzzle toys are some of her favorite ways to spend the day, and shes happiest when life follows a calm, predictable routine.<br/><br/>Rey is currently taking daily fluoxetine to support her anxiety, and with consistent training and structure, shes made incredible progress! Her anxiety tends to show up around unfamiliar people and dogs who approach her with interest, and while she can settle quickly when left alone, she needs help managing greetings and space boundaries. Her current caregivers use leash management, positive reinforcement, and distance-based games to help her feel secure during new encounters.<br/><br/>Its important to note that Rey has a bite history. In past situations where she felt startled or overwhelmedsuch as when someone disturbed her while she was sleeping or tried to take foodshe has reacted defensively and bitten. These incidents were not unprovoked and did not require medical attention, and her signals when uncomfortable are easy to spot with experience. For this reason, Rey is not suitable for homes with children or other pets. Shes best suited for a quiet, structured environment with a caregiver who has experience working with anxious or reactive dogs.<br/><br/>Despite her challenges, Rey is deeply connected to her people and incredibly responsive to training. Shes not high-energy, but shes engaged and eager to learn when motivated by food and trust.<br/><br/>Were including a full month of behavioral guidance from our consultant to help Rey settle in.
