About this Dog
My name is Velma, and I'm a black and tan coonhound. I'm a perfect sized lady, around 65 pounds, but I'm sure I carry most of my weight in my nice floppy ears! I like to sunbathe outdoors, and I would love a home with a fenced in yard that I can patrol and catch all sorts of good sniffs. I am learning to love toys, especially soft toys that I can kill and find the squeakers! I LOVE walks, so much so that I get excited and bark while I walk...it's pretty cute. I might be able to share a home with other laid back dogs my size but I am very much a resource guarder so I need an owner who is comfortable and familiar with this behavior. I have done dog playgroups outside and done great. So if you have a medium to large size dog already (nothing under 30 pounds), let me meet them and see how we get along. I have been known to be protective of my food and water bowl in a home setting, so I'd prefer an owner who can give me my own safe space like a nice big kennel to eat in. I do take some daily medicines, and I'll need these long term, and you should know that I do have a few allergies that I require monthly injections for - including peanut butter! I don't mind kids, but I don't want to live with them at this time so adults only in my new home please, especially if they like to go for walks! Velma's adoption fee is $250 and includes her spay, microchip and current vaccinations PLUS a free obedience course at Cedar Run in Hiawatha. Last Hope requires that all animals be kept as indoor pets only, be altered and current on vaccinations. Our adoption process includes reference and background checks, a home visit and a vet check.

Adopt Velma and Receive Velma's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Velma's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Velma's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Velma, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Velma's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Velma was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Velma’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Velma’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Velma’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
