Thoughtful, Loyal, and a Master of Tricks—Could You Be Rey’s Calm Constant?

Rey is a 4-year-old Treeing Walker Coonhound mix with a brilliant mind and a heart that thrives in structure. Currently living in Medford, MA, this striking girl with the soulful eyes is house-trained, crate-trained, and loves nothing more than puzzle toys, predictable routines, and—above all—training games with treats. While Rey is working through some anxiety, she’s made huge strides and is looking for a confident, dog-savvy adopter who can offer her a calm, consistent home.

Why She’s the Ultimate “Thoughtful Training Buddy”
🎓 Knows tons of commands: Sit, stay, heel, touch, and even “hold” (yes—she can balance a treat on her nose!)
🍖 Loves food puzzles, bacon-scented fetch balls, and snack-based training sessions
🧠 Engaged and eager to learn—low energy but mentally sharp
🛏️ Fully house-trained and crate-trained
🖤 Loyal, loving, and deeply connected once she trusts you

What She’s Looking For
✔️ A calm, structured, adult-only home
✔️ No other pets—Rey wants to be your one and only
✔️ An experienced adopter comfortable with managing anxiety/reactivity
✔️ Someone who respects her boundaries and understands her bite history (which involved no medical treatment and always had a clear trigger)
✔️ A person committed to continuing positive reinforcement and management techniques
✔️ Bonus: Her adoption includes one month of professional behavioral support to help her settle in

Rey may need a little extra support, but she offers something truly special in return—a deep bond, loyalty, and a spirit eager to grow. If you’ve got a quiet home and a steady heart, Rey could be the perfect match. With the right person, this smart, sensitive girl will thrive.
