Rey is a thoughtful, almost five-year-old Treeing Walker Coonhound mix with a striking black and fawn coat and expressive eyes. She's a clever and loyal girl who loves bacon-scented fetch balls, cozy naps, and training games that come with tasty rewards. Rey is house-trained, crate-trained, and knows an impressive list of commands including sit, stay, heel, touch, and hold. She thrives on a calm, predictable routine and enjoys neighborhood walks and treat-dispensing puzzle toys.
Ideal Home
Rey is best suited for a quiet, structured, and pet-free environment with a caregiver experienced in working with anxious or reactive dogs. She is not suitable for homes with children or other pets due to a past bite history.
Ongoing Health
Rey is currently taking daily fluoxetine to support her anxiety.
Training & Support
Rey's anxiety can manifest around unfamiliar people and dogs who approach her with interest. She needs help managing greetings and personal space boundaries. Her current caregivers successfully use leash management, positive reinforcement, and distance-based games to help her feel secure. She has a bite history, reacting defensively when startled or overwhelmed, such as when disturbed while sleeping or when someone tried to take her food. Her signals of discomfort are observable. Despite these challenges, she is deeply connected to her people and incredibly responsive to training, especially when motivated by food and trust. A full month of behavioral guidance from a consultant will be provided to help her settle into her new home.
