We estimate Cokie to be between 1 and 2 years old ABOUT THIS ANIMAL: Meet Cokie – Your New Adventure Buddy with a Foxhound Heart! Cokie is a stunning young American Foxhound with a sleek frame, long legs, and a curious nose always ready for the next great adventure. Weighing in at 46 pounds, he’s the perfect mid-size companion for someone who loves the outdoors as much as he does. Cokie’s Personality: This handsome hound is the best of both worlds—athletic and energetic outside, but calm and relaxed at home once his exercise needs are met. Cokie isn’t a velcro dog or a couch cuddler; instead, he prefers to unwind solo in his crate, enjoying his own quiet corner. But don’t let his independence fool you—he’s friendly, social, and always happy to meet new people and dogs. He just marches to the beat of his own hound-y drum. Smart, Trainable & Crate-Happy: Cokie is housebroken, crate trained, and highly food-motivated—he’s already mastered “sit,” “stay,” “lie down,” “shake,” and “go to your bed”! He’s currently polishing up his loose leash skills and, like a true Foxhound, sometimes pulls when his nose catches something intriguing. With continued guidance, he’ll be a leash-walking pro in no time. Social and Gentle: Cokie loves other dogs, is gentle with children, and is friendly with new people. While he hasn’t met any cats yet, his low prey drive suggests he may be able to coexist peacefully with them. Cokie's Quirks: As a typical Foxhound, Cokie can be a little stubborn and has that iconic baying voice—he’s not a silent roommate! He barks when he’s frustrated or under-exercised and may show some anxiety when you first leave the house. He also startles at loud noises (like vacuums and leaf blowers) but is making steady progress with desensitization. Cokie’s Ideal Home: He’ll thrive in a home with: · A large, fenced-in yard · Another friendly dog to pal around with · An active household that enjoys long walks, hikes, or time outdoors · Someone familiar with hound breeds, or willing to learn about their unique needs and quirks A Bit About His Past: Cokie came to Homeward Trails Animal Rescue from a rural shelter in South Carolina. He’s now looking for a forever family that will see him for who he is: a beautiful, intelligent, and good-natured pup with tons of potential. Why You’ll Love Him: Cokie may not be a couch snuggler, but he’ll be your happiest hiking partner, your most loyal walking buddy, and a steady, curious companion with a gentle heart and independent streak. He’s the kind of dog who may not ask for much—but gives you everything he’s got.
