Muskingum County K-9 Adoption Center Dog of the Week; Meet Huckleberry!

ZANESVILLE, Ohio – Oh my darling Clementine! This week’s Dog of the Week is Huckleberry Hound! Meet Huckleberry, a 5-year-old Blue Tick Coonhound who is up to date on his vaccinations and, like the Hanna-Barbera cartoon, is great with children.

“He loves kids, goes on walks, would be someone that you can see that loves to sit on your lap. Also too, you could actually see him, he was at our Christmas event at the fairgrounds. So, you can see him on our Facebook page, how he did with everybody. Just kind of run through the building and just kind of introduced himself to everyone, including Santa,” said Doug McQuaid, K-9 Adoption Center Volunteer.

McQuaid wants to let people know that if you are interested in adopting a dog like Huckleberry, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day won’t work for their schedule. They are closed until 11 a.m. on Dec. 26.

If you want to learn more about how to bring home Huckleberry or another dog like him, you can call the Muskingum County Sheriff’s K-9 Adoption Center at (740) 453-0273.
