Royce is a sweet timid boy who was found abandoned or lost in the forest fending for himself for quite some time. He was very skinny and scared but with love and patience has started to warm up quickly. He is quiet and calm and gentle. He is getting lots of love and good food to bulk up and improve the condition of his coat. He is amazingly heartworm negative!! He is longing for a family of his very own that will appreciate his gentle loving nature and make him a cherished member of their family. Royce is being fostered in Orlando.

What is a Coonhound you may ask?



Coonhounds are intelligent, sensitive, and very loyal. Many people think they are just used for hunting instead of seeing them for the fine pet home pets they make. Even if a coonhound has been used for hunting they are VERY adaptable and can adapt to home life as well as living inside.



COONHOUNDS ARE WONDERFUL CLOWNS !! They love everyone, especially children, are great dogs, minimal grooming and hours of entertainment. With few exceptions, hounds make great family pets for those willing to care for them properly. Hounds typically adore children and view them as some of the best entertainment a dog could ever be blessed with. The Hound loves to have fun...kids love to have fun...the two usually do very well. The Hound is as well a very friendly breed. While they may never do well as a guard dog, they will warn you of someone's approach ...barking usually just long enough to be petted. The hound is adaptable and intelligent and will likely be the source of hours of good hearty play time. Hounds have a sense of humor like few other breeds of dog. They enjoy play and fun as much as they enjoy the hunt and will likely be more like having another child than having a dog. Interactive and involved in family life the hound requires a dedicated owner, but has no problem returning the dedication shown it on an every day basis. The hound is an affectionate breed that will openly and honestly enjoy you as much as you do it. An honest, straight forward dog this breed inspires dedication and near fanatical loyalty from those lucky enough to appreciate them.

Coonhounds are active dogs who will require active families. Their intelligence makes them bore easily and they may find creative ways to entertain themselves if left alone for extended periods or forced to live in households that do not provide enough stimulation (ie. digging, chewing). People who are willing to exercise their dog regularly and are creative in ways to allow the Coonhound to play and occasionally use its hunting instinct will have no problems with this breed. They are easy dogs to live with and easy dogs to maintain, so long as these few requirements are tended to.They have a cooperative nature and are somewhat easier to train than other hound breeds. Typically good with other DOGS (they may see your cat as prey if not raised with it) and children, Coonhounds are a mostly overlooked pet breed just now gaining recognition.
