Zoe is a Treeing Walker Coonhound mix available through A.A.R.F. (All About Rescue & Fixin) and is fostered in Cookeville, TN.
Zoe showed up as a stray at a rural shelter in need of emergency medical care. She has been a hunting dog, and we suspect she was neglected and abused due to the poor condition she was in when she arrived at the shelter. Her front teeth between the canines have been filed down, which is a common practice with hunting dogs. Zoe is eager to leave her hunting days far behind her, preferring to lay quietly on a soft quilt while savoring a good book. She is initially shy with strangers, but will come around if they are quiet and calm, and especially if they happen to have a little bacon to share. She is currently fostered with other dogs, and has grown to enjoy their company, but she would prefer to be an only dog. She has not been tested with cats, and has a very gentle disposition with children.
Zoe is house trained and crate trained, she is spayed, up to date on her vaccinations, and is on preventives for heartworm and other intestinal parasites as well as fleas. If you would like more information on Zoe please check out her profile here. Interstate adoptions are available.

Cindy, We have no way of knowing whether she’s a mix or purebred, she showed up at a rural shelter as a stray, so there is a lot about her we can only guess at. Please do check her out, and consider adopting if you can!

I love treeing walkers! My family has one (she’ll be 12 in June) and Addie, our dog, has gotten into all kinds of trouble, but tearing paper is her favorite. She will do it if she thinks we haven’t paid enough attention to her that day. They are such stubborn dogs, but are so loyal. Addie has run away a couple of times, but always comes back with a present (once it was someone’s frozen raw chicken). They are great cuddlers and a great dog to grow up having (seeing as how i am only 19). I highly recommend adopting one. My dog is also a Tennessee rescue.
