Bluetick Coonhound Rehome
Penelope is a sweet loving purebred blue tick coonhound. She is 6 years old. She is spayed, up to date on vaccines, microchipped, and crate trained. Recently, there has been a change in Penelope's attitude with our other dogs. We have 4 dogs in total. She has become aggressive with them and we have had to break up multiple fights and last week's fight ended up getting me bitten. She has never been aggressive with people, I just had to get in the middle of it. She needs a home with no other dogs, a giant yard or piece of land to roam and bark as much as she pleases, We have a yard but she deserves better. She deserves more. Our family loves her so much and just want someone to take her in that will show her just as much love as we do. She can sleep in her crate at night or sleep in the bed with you. She does like sleeping under the covers and be close to you, but she can also sleep in her crate. I am willing to travel if it means she gets in the right home. Please message me with any further questions.

Rehoming reason details (if necessary):
Recently, Penelope has become triggered and aggressive towards our other animals. It is typically when she is in the window barking at something and if one of them comes near, she will attack them. I had to break it up last week because it was so bad and did get bitten unfortunately. She has never been aggressive towards people or our kids, and I think an environment with no other dogs, it would never be an issue.
