Vernon

My story

Vernon is around 7-9 years old, and a purebred Bluetick Coonhound. Vernon, George, aka "Blue" Blue has a loving personality and quite calm demeanor. Rescued from a hoarder situation, but honestly, I think he had been stolen. He was housebroken already, has a predictable potty routine and will bark if he needs to go out. His age was guessed by the Veterinarian at 9 years, could be 7 IMO. He is intact at this time, heartworm negative, Erlichia positive, and halfway through a course of Doxycycline as of today, 7/9/25. He has had shots. Eats well, takes meds in a hot dog bite, tolerates me giving liquid wormer. He loves walks on the leash and does well. No destructive behavior- doesn't bother or chew on anything inside. He is calm, but startles at loud noises. Took him to meet a relative's hound on leashes and he had a low growl at first, but after seeing it was ok, he was fine. Slow introductions best. Can be clingy - he just wants love! ❤️🐾
