Ron Hound Mix Lenoir, NC

Ron & his "sister", Ginny, showed up at their rescuer's work shop. He kept sneaking inside to sit next to the machinery to be close to his new hero.

With a guesstimated birthday in Feb. 2023, Ron weighed 37 lb at his neuter in June 2023.

Ron is house-trained when kept on a regular schedule. He's comfortable in a 42" crate and will sleep peacefully all night, once the household goes to bed. If he hears someone still up, he will vocalize in hopes that they'll let him out to love on them. He must go out as soon as the household wakes, so should be a priority for a potty break.

Ron is leash-savvy and loves other dogs. He has become very interested in the cats at his foster home. When not playing with his doggy friends, he'll sit and stare at them.

Ron is a sturdy boy and has a sweet "houndy" vocalization. He isn't noisy in the house, but if left unsupervised in the yard will sing to the neighbors.

**********

Whether dogs / puppies come in as strays or owner surrenders, we usually have to make our best guess as to birthdate and breed.

If adopted into a home with other animals, particularly cats, your new pet should be crated or secured when you're not available to supervise to insure a harmonious relationship.

A vet reference is required to confirm responsible pet ownership. Requirement is a minimum three year vet history documenting current / previous pets are spayed / neutered, kept up to date on core vaccinations, and on heartworm prevention. We suggest first time pet owners without a vet history look for an adult dog for companionship and to gain experience. Other rescues or your local government-run animal control agency may have different adoption requirements.

Adoption fee covers two vaccinations. Additional fees for 3rd puppy vaccination, refundable spay/neuter deposit, etc. may apply.

We are an all-volunteer, foster-based rescue. We receive no funding from agencies.

Not all foster dogs are available for viewing during public events, held most Saturdays at Tractor Supply (360 Blowing Rock Blvd) in Lenoir, NC from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. We recommend interested parties contact us to pre-qualify for adoption so their new furry family can go home once paperwork is complete. Fees are required in cash. For more information on our organization, our website is www.FoothillsCanineRescue.org.
