Meet Eleanor – Your New Best Friend!

Eleanor is a 6-year-old, 53-pound Black and Tan Coonhound mama with a heart full of love and a playful, gentle spirit. She’s a pro at snuggling, loves playing with her doggy friends, and can’t resist a good toy.

Crate-trained and making progress on house training, Eleanor is smart, eager to please, and learning commands like “sit.” She’s great on walks, politely slowing down when the leash tightens, and greets everyone—dogs and humans alike—with a wagging tail.

Eleanor thrives with smaller dogs but isn’t a fan of cats. She enjoys active mornings followed by mellow afternoons, making her the perfect balance of energy and relaxation – like most mature hounds.
