Description:
Olivia came to us from a high kill shelter when her time was up. Olivia was picked up by animal control after some neighbors observed her living in the woods next to their neighborhood. They were kind enough to trap her and when they did, they discovered two surviving puppies. All three were picked up and are now safe with us!

Olivia was skin and bones when we first got her. Now that she has raised her puppies and her bones are no longer showing, Olivia is ready for her forever home. Olivia is a real sweatheart. She loves her people and will take as much attention as you can give her. She is in foster with other dogs and gets along great with them. She is housetrained, knows a few basic commands, and is not too bad on the leash! Olivia would make a great family dog.

According to www.dogbreedinfo.com, the Redbone Coonhound is happy, even-tempered and very good with children. It can be surprisingly affectionate and has a pleasant-sounding bark. They love being with their people. If raised indoors from puppyhood, it will adapt well to family life. Coonhounds are all instinctive hunters, and it is not difficult to train the breed to follow scent and tree a quarry. The Redbone has a strong desire to please his master. They are hotter-nosed, able to locate, and faster to tree coons than many other Coonhounds. Like other Coonhounds, the Redbone is alert, quick, and able to work in all types of weather over difficult terrain. Their agility benefits them when hunting in fenced country or steep, rocky ground. With the thrusting grit of a terrier and the pumping stamina of a husky, the Redbone is every hunter's hot-trailed dream come true. A natural treeing instinct has been bred into the Redbone, making them specialists in coon hunting. But they are also proficient in trailing and treeing bear, cougar and bobcat. When used on game, Redbones often hunt in packs. Redbones are known to make excellent water dogs. In the home he is affectionate and kind. The Redbone should be well socialized at an early age and taught simple obedience like waking on a leash. Be careful with cats and other non-canine pets. If raised with a kitten from puppyhood they may be okay but some Redbone Coonhounds try to hunt cats down like raccoons. Some Redbone Coonhounds drool a lot while others do not at all. It all depends on the shape of the lips. The true Coonhound-shaped mouth will drool a lot. The Redbone Coonhound will do okay in an apartment if they are sufficiently exercised. They are relatively inactive indoors and will do best with at least a large yard. They have a life expectancy of 11-12 years.
