Give Overlooked Homeless Coonhounds & Foxhounds a Fresh Chance at Love

Coonhounds and Foxhounds make extraordinarily good pets. Coonhound Companions works to raise public awareness of that. We aim to get as many coonhounds and foxhounds as possible a chance at life in a loving home without actually being a rescue group. We advocate for coonhounds and foxhounds generally, but we don’t place individual dogs in homes ourselves. 

Send your checks to Coonhound & Foxhound Companions, c/o Anna Nirva, 1511 Travis St., La Crosse, WI 54601 USA. We reply to all donors with tax information.

Coonhounds and foxhounds make wonderful family companions!

Although they are bred to hunt, coonhounds and foxhounds also make best friends that sing with personality. We demonstrate to potential dog owners what wonderful companions these soulful long-eared dogs can be. We promote their adoption into good homes by offering free posters showing them participating in family life, medical grants for needy hounds in shelters, detailed information for potential adopters, and resources we share with temporary custodians, potential adopters and people who already have their own coonhound or foxhound. These materials include a Web page, a Facebook community, and other fun ways to raise the general profile and public image of coonhounds and foxhounds. Hounds aren’t just country bumpkins these days. Like beagles, they go everywhere, and sound beautiful at it, too!

Dedicated volunteers support Coonhound Companions, with the assistance of financial support from human friends of coonhounds and foxhounds. That’s you. Thank you. Our single biggest expense is our “Long Ears Alive!” program, in aid of dogs that have readily treatable medical problems impeding their chance of surviving their stay in a shelter. Your money will help a coonhound or foxhound patient get a decent chance at adoption, or smooth the way for a human family to fall in love with that special, musical, long-eared dog. Please donate now!

Can you provide in-kind donations, such as free color printing, free laminating, free vet care, and free legal services? Please go to our Contact Us page and send us a note.

Can you volunteer? We need passionate, willing, knowledgeable folks to help us help them. We have so many dreams! There is so much to do! Again, use the Contact Us page to get in touch. 

Thank you for believing in our work and in us!
