Essie

My story

Essie was found wandering on the farm of one of our Virginia fosters. Who can resist this little hound girl in need of help? She's about a year and a half old and weighs 40 lbs now, but should have an ideal weight of 45-50 lbs. Essie will do best in a hound-experienced home with another hound in residence. She's tentative in new situations, spooks easily at loud noises, and has probably not had a lot of experience meeting new people, but she has been coming out of her shell in her foster home. She's gentle and sweet and will blossom with some TLC and patience. She will arrive in Massachusetts in mid-September.
