About Us

Boone is a Treeing Walker Coonhound puppy who is 14 weeks old and should be at around 20 pounds at this point. He weighs about 8. He’s less than a third of the physical size of his littermates and right now, we don’t know why. He’s a little wobbly and unstable, loses his balance sometimes, holds his head low, really struggles to poop normally, and his eyes point outward (known as divergent strabismus). 

But Boone just wants to be a regular puppy, he loves to play with his friends and he loves to snuggle with his people. His hound nose works just fine and he loves to follow new smells. He might have a hard time keeping up but he doesn’t quit trying. In all, Boone has a lot going on and we are trying to learn why. Which means he’s going to need some significant care to figure this out. 

Boone required an emergency visit to Cornell to fix an anal prolapse where they noticed his intestines are abnormal. Our next step will be seeing an internal specialist there to determine what exactly Boone will need to live a healthy life!

06/11/26 Update -
Earlier this week, Boone experienced a second anal prolapse, the stitch did not hold. He needed emergency surgery this time to correct it and hopefully prevent another one. He is now recovering from a pretty invasive abdominal surgery, and we are hopeful for his recovery! It has only been a couple of days, but we have seen some improvement already and are doing our best to give him lots of love and rest to heal. 

 Boone is looking for all the help he can get and ANY donation big or small will make a difference for him.
