I'm Happy To Be Sponsored By: Kelly Westerdahl / Kindra & Nic Zaretski / Jack & Mira Berkley & Carrie Hall for the Anthony family in memory of "Hershey". Mel says Thank You :O)

Click here for a slideshow of photos of me! Have you seen my family out there? Are you taking me home? I know you like my looks but I want somebody to see my inner beauty and understand my needs as well. You see how most people are gone from their homes most of the day and do lots of stuff around? Well, I am the kind of dog that cannot just stay at home alone all day long, hour after hour, day after day. See, I am an adult Treeing Walker Coonhound. This long breed name means I was bred to hunt small animals like squirrels and raccoons but I gave myself the liberty to extend my hunting instinct to cats as well so my home and neighborhood or back yard should be kitty free. From my breed's name you can also guess that I like to walk a lot but don't be fooled, I do settle after a nice time out and I am one of the sweetest cuddlers you'll ever meet. I have good maners around the house and haven't been allowed on the beds and sofas during my short stays at a foster home. I am usually quiet unless I have something important to tell you. I am a little afraid of storms so I will try to stay close to you when it pours with thunders. Talking about me with others, let me tell you that I am very friendly with all people I meet around, even with little kids. When I am out I try to say hi to anybody we cross ways with. I like most other dogs when out on walks but I don't do well with them at home. Did you see how kids fight about something to get the attention or the best toy or treat? Well, I have a tendency to dislike any dog that will compete with me at home for your attention or something special. Just guide me and I will try to do my best to please you. Maybe I must learn that you people are not there only for me and that I must wait my turn even to give hugs. Do you have a fenced in yard? Are you also a fan of long healthy walks? Are you the family I've been waiting for so long? Please come pick me up, I am ready to go. You'll see how good I am riding in the car, doing stuff around with you and walking on the leash with my pinch collar. Would you like to sponsor me? For just $10 a month, you can help with my expenses while I stay here at NCCR and you will receive regular updates on what's happening with me. You can mail in your payment to NCCR, 7540 N. Gale Street, Westfield, NY 14787 or click here to pay with paypal:


If you think you might be interested in adopting, your first step should be to complete an adoption application (see below). This avoids the disappointment of someone else has "beating you to it" because they were pre-approved. Processing an application does not take us very long but we do insist that all potential adopters are approved before placing a dog.

Applying is very simple:
Adoption Application in PDF Format

Adoption Application in Word Format

If you do not get a response within 24 hours of sending your application, please call us at 716-326-PAWS. And be sure to check out all the dogs and puppies eagerly awaiting homes.
