My first night together with the boys

Hi!  I’m NHH Handy!  I am living my retirement with a fun couple who have two teenage boys!  They are all the greatest.  They take me on walks and love me a lot.  I always stay with them whether hiking or riding horses. They say I am so sweet and I have not had one “oops” in the house. I sure love those boys and they love me right back!

I love my crate!

Some foxhounds look for retirement homes because they need a place to rest when they are older.  I just flat out didn’t really like to hunt, so I stayed with the riders in the field during hunts. That didn’t sit well with the other hounds, so the huntsman started looking for a new place for me to live when I was about 4 years old. With learning about my crate, my house training went fairly smoothly.  I love my crate and sleep in it at night in my people’s bedroom.

I like to go to soccer games and meet new friends and lie in the grass with them!

I’m not the first foxhound that my people have had.  When I first came, they had another retired foxhound, Jasmine, that lived with them too.  She showed me the ropes and lived out her days in happiness and with a grateful heart.  Before I came, when they had only her, she was so good that they wanted another one, and that’s me! They tell me all the time that I have a very kind, sweet personality.

I get to go to baseball and soccer games where I am joyously mobbed by small children who love to take me on walks. What fun!  I am so obedient and gentle on a leash that several people have asked who trained me! Trained me?  Nope, I am just a polite girl, thank you very much.  I am beloved by all who meet me!  I hope you’ll consider adopting a foxhound!

Here I am with my boys on a hike! Good fun!
