Float

Float is a 7-8 year old, 53 lb Treeing Walker Coonhound mix with a gentle spirit and an easygoing nature. After over four months in a North Carolina shelter, his world brightened when he finally got out before the shelter shut its doors. He has lived through a lot: long days on cold concrete, pressure sores on his elbows, and the realization at his first vet visit that he's not the young pup they thought, but an older gentleman with partial vision loss and arthritis in his back legs. Yet, despite everything, Float remains upbeat and friendly. He doesn't let his partial blindness or creaky joints hold him back. He adapts quickly to new homes; he might bump into a corner or two, but soon maps out his surroundings. Float gets along with everyone: strangers, kids, cats, and other dogs. He genuinely enjoys dog company, loves a good sniff around the neighborhood, and still finds room to play.
