UPDATE: Tilly has been adopted!
What is it about hound dogs that makes them so special? Loyal? Yes. Affectionate? You'd better believe it. Intelligent? In SO many ways!
Tilly is all of these things, and more. A 3-yr old Plott Hound mix, this sweet, athletic girl weighs in at a svelte 42 lbs. In the short time that she's been at Almost Home, she's made friends with EVERYONE, and is both relaxed and playful with all of the pups and humans that she encounters.
Tilly has a gorgeous short, sleek, glossy brindle coat that requires very little brushing or special care. This striking feature is only surpassed by her sweet, gentle nature and trusting, soulful eyes. She really is a beauty.
Focused and "all business" one minute, goofy and playful the next, Tilly demonstrates daily the versatility and flexibility of her primary breed. As the state dog of North Carolina, the Plott hound possess a world-class nose and stamina for tracking (which translates easily into the consummate hiking or running companion!)
Tilly is a quick learner who would excel in dog sports like agility and scent work, in addition to being a loyal and loving family pet. She is already excelling at her "good girl" skills and leash walking. She is house trained, spayed, vaccinated, and ready for someone to make her part of their family.
Sweet Tilly is astutely aware of her surroundings at all times. It's a blast watching her race around with the other pups, only to screech to a stop, ears up and tail up when she hears a noise or picks up an unfamiliar scent long before the other dogs are aware. Once she determines that all is well, she quickly shifts back to play mode or cuddle time with ease.
