Lentil – Female – 7+ years – Bluetick Coonhound

Meet Lentil! This spotted lady came to us several months ago as a stray, and we discovered that she was pregnant! We made sure to keep her nice and comfortable until she could give birth to her EIGHT puppies. Now that her pups have grown, she is ready to get spoiled like she deserves! Lentil is a very sweet girl, though she is a hound and has many houndlike traits. The biggest thing with Lentil is that she has a very keen prey drive, so she needs a home that is free of small animals. She is also very vocal and likes to keep you up to date on all things that move. Lentil is very sweet and goofy when it comes to people, but she is not the biggest fan of other dogs, so she is looking for a home to live as the sole Hound Queen. She needs to have lots of space to run, though because she is a hound, we recommend keeping her leashed when outside as she may pick up on a trail. Miss Lentil is a very bouncy, energetic gal who loves to be silly and make you laugh! Come and meet this speckled beauty!
