Our beloved "long-eared" dogs
Coonhounds and foxhounds are sweet on kids, easy with other dogs, and they are sensitive and social - real people pleasers. Read more about pet coonhounds on this web site. We want to share our love of coonhounds with the whole continent, with hopes of inspiring dog lovers everywhere to consider adopting a "coonie." 

Remember, coonhounds are American dog breeds, worthy of our respect and devotion. If you are thinking about bringing a large sporting breed dog into your life, think about a coonhound or foxhound (or mix).

"Thank you for your website - it was the one site that I found when looking up his breed after we adopted him that made me feel like he'd be happy with us; so many other sites stressed how active hounds were and I was so afraid he'd be too much for us, but he's perfect!" ~Christina from NY

Our 2021 Calendar
​is ready to order!

Picture
Our beloved, high quality 2021 Calendar is ready to order! This is one of our most important fundraisers for our Long Ears Alive vet fund for homeless sick/injured hounds and mixes.

The calendars are 11 inches wide by 8.5 inches high when closed, and open to 17 inches high. We’ve used heavyweight high quality satin finish paper held together by a refined wire-O binding. Each day’s square is big enough to fill in with personal reminders so your hound can track trips to the vet and play dates with friends.

Picture
Calendars are $20 each, including postage, shipping and handling. Any profits go to support our cause – supporting homeless hounds with medical needs and educating the public about what great pets coonhounds make.
​

Go to
Paypal.me/coonhoundcompanions
and send $20 for each calendar (send an email to info at coonhoundcompanions.com to inquire about bulk orders).

You can also click on the Paypal link on our Coonhound and Foxhound Companions’ webpage or Facebook page.

Thank you so much for supporting our work! We hope you love your calendar!

Nick's Wicks is holding a Valentine's Day fundraiser for our vet fund!

Nick and his family in New Jersey started a soy candle-making small business in early 2020! Nick is just 10 years old but knows all about making candles! Nick's family adopted a foxhound puppy named Elvis about the same time they started the candle-making, so it is fun to think of all the new excitement in the family. 
Soy candles are very clean burning and made of soy, grown by American farmers. Soy candles are also much longer lasting than regular candles; you will be amazed. They are better for your home's air quality and as a renewable energy source, better for the earth as well. Parafin candles are made from petroleum products and they produce a lot of soot that can dirty your ceilings and your lungs. 

Give soy candles to your family and friends for Valentine's Day, but shop now, to give Nick time to make them and for USPS shipping. 

To order candles, go to Nick's Wicks on Etsy!
