KNOWN DISLIKES: None ABOUT THIS ANIMAL: Ireland is a wonderful and adaptable dog who will be a great fit for any family. He is a total lovebug. Found as a stray in southern VA, he would love to find a home of his very own! From his foster: He's doing great! Slept very well last night, didn't even need the crate. No accidents so far. He is super sweet, good on a leash, good recall, and good with other dogs. From his foster: Ireland got his spa day this past weekend and did wonderfully! He may not have been thrilled, but he was such a well behaved boy 🥳 Ireland is the total package 💚 He's potty trained, crate trained, knows basic commands, does great with cats, dogs, and kids, and very food motivated. He does great in the car and loves everyone he meets, too! All around a great boy with a perfect hound personality! As her Foster mom i can vouch that Nancy is SUPER NOSEY (like, seriously, she'll sniff everything!) and loves: treats, sniffing adventures, and being the center of attention! She's also a BATH-TIME PRO - no fuss, no stress, just a clean and happy hound! She needs: a yard to explore (fencing a plus!), regular exercise, and a patient owner to help her adjust. If you're ready for a best friend who'll bring joy, laughter, and slobbery kisses into your life, Nancy's your girl! She’s settling in well, she’s very friendly with dogs and people. She’s super excited when we go on walks. She pulls a bit on the leash in the beginning but she calms down. Nancy doesn’t seem to have experience with stairs, they really frightened her at first but today she’s more confident and follows my dogs. Seems to be potty trained, no accidents yet.
