Energetic Hound-Mix Puppy Up For Adoption

This sweet, 4-month old hound-mix has energy to spare and just needs a new home with people who want to interact with him.

Muckluck McGee is a 37-pound, male, Hound-mix puppy who is up for adoption at the Rancho Coastal Humane Society. His family surrendered him to a shelter in Imperial Valley because Muckluck McGee was “more dog than they wanted.” Learn more about Muckluck here.

He’s a puppy! He needs human family members with him most of the time…to begin with. He’s a bit jumpy and needs to be trained to keep all 4 paws on the floor.

If you have adopted a pet during COVID and are heading back to work, Rancho Coastal Humane Society has some helpful tips.

  • Help your pet adjust to your changing schedule. Begin by leaving your pet alone in a “Retreat Area” for a few minutes. Turn on some music or the TV. Every time you do this, increase your pet’s time alone.
  • Particularly with a new pet who you’ve never left alone before, watch for Separation Distress including destructive behaviors. Give them something to do, like a toy or a treat puzzle.
  • Older pets who have adjusted to your stay-at-home schedule might be more “needy.” Be patient. Give them lots of reassurance that everything is going to be okay.
  • If your dog has gotten used to 8 or 10 walks per day because you had nothing else to do, start cutting back. You can go for a walk without your pet. You still get your exercise, but it helps the pet adjust to the fact that things are changing.
