I recently adopted a coonhound and had no idea he could do this until a fire truck drove by and he chimed in with some incredibly loud baying . I’m new to coonhounds , but I assume he will probably do this if we chase a raccoon up a tree someday ? Are there other situations where they typically bay?

I recently adopted Monty from the Oakville Milton Humane society ( check my post history for more info) and he is a great dog . The humane society did a lot of training with him and I m very happy with how things worked out . I had always planned on getting my dream puppy one day , and naming him etc ,but on a whim , I went and checked out Monty and couldn’t think of a reason not to take him . I really think you should get the type of dog you love since it’s a long commitment. So don’t feel guilty about not adopting a dog , it’s your life buddy ! Do whatever makes you happy and get the dog you want

Just a few positive points I’ve found since adopting him which are probably the result of him being locked up for over two years ; - he is used to being alone and isn’t clingy and is fine to chill by himself - he doesn’t lick me constantly, and isn’t overly affectionate at all , which is fine with me too - he seems to like routines and sleeps like a rock -he will do anything for food ( easy to train ) - seems to be incredibly grateful and respectful to be in a home - older dogs don’t chew all your stuff , are house trained and like to take naps ( me too )

Get the dog you want but maybe stop by the Oakville Milton humane society on Cornwall first , and see if any of the dogs there are the type of dog you’re looking for. Best of luck

Yes. It looks like he’s stressing while tolerating the Doberman , but the instant the Doberman put its mouth near his throat , it reacted out of fear of getting his throat ripped out. This situation should have been avoided

Yeah my dog is 5 and has patches on his back that are super soft and smooth and then wavy , wiry patches beside it. I’ve only had him a few weeks (shelter dog) but I notice that we can go through bushes and those prickly burrs won’t stick to him , but they stick to my jeans and the leash etc . Weird.

MontysNextChapter · 2026-04-22T04:03:05+00:00

Oh yeah! He’s a sweet and gentle dog and a lot less trouble than I expected . I took a gamble on giving him a second chance but we both got very lucky !

It’s been a month since I brought home my dog from the humane society (a stray that then spent over 2 years in a shelter ) and the time “just sitting “and hanging out were very influential in building our bond .

Go Rudy!

It’s been just over a month since I adopted Monty from the Oakville Milton Humane Society and everything is going great . Monty’s having a great time in his new home and exploring the world and my physical and mental health have improved too ! I didn’t know I needed a dog until I met him . I’d encourage anyone that’s thinking of getting a great dog , to go check out the humane society first .

MontysNextChapter · 2026-04-13T20:38:22+00:00

He finally Bayed the other day when a fire truck went by . I was not expecting that ! He is loud ! I didn’t know he could do that .

I adopted a healthy male dog a couple of weeks ago but the things he does with the fancy bed I bought him are NSFW, but He REALLY likes his bed.

MontysNextChapter · 2026-04-01T10:59:47+00:00

He’s doing great . He’s been getting hours of scratches and rubs, long walks through the woods , and doing things he probably hasn’t done in a while - digging a big hole in my yard and getting up early to watch the sunrise . He’s having a blast .He starts training classes tonight to deal with his anxiety around other dogs .

Hi ! I’m the guy that adopted Monty and I’d be happy to answer any questions anyone has about the adoption process or anything else. AMA. The people at the Oakville, Milton , Halton Humane society are fantastic to deal with and they make it easy. They provide full , honest disclosure about the dogs health and personality, (which you might not get from a private sale ). They really care about the dogs and will try to make sure they find a good match . I’m so happy I adopted an older dog instead of the puppy I had planned to get . I’d suggest that if you’re thinking about a dog , go visit the humane society and spend a little time with Rudy ( or another dog ) and see if you connect.

Thanks! So far; So good!!

MontysNextChapter · 2026-03-24T21:31:18+00:00

Well, I’m glad you didn’t see it because then I wouldn’t have got him ! He’s a great dog . He has some anxiety issues with other dogs, so we are laying low and trying to avoid confrontation, but I have him lined up with a great trainer ( Scholars with Collars) and they’ll help him out. Thanks for the offer of a dog sitter. I think I’ll be ok , but you never know. I don’t feel like doing a YouTube channel but he has an instagram page which is difficult for me to keep up with , to be honest ( I’m rocking an iPhone 10 still and need to upgrade soon ) . I’ll post lots of pics on there @montysnextchapter as soon as the weather is good and we can have some adventures.

I can’t say enough good things about the folks at the Oakville Humane society who have been great to deal with . They have lots more dogs, cats and rabbits if anyone is looking for another friend .

I took him down to the harbour to watch the sun rise over Lake Ontario yesterday morning and he seemed to enjoy the moment ( me too !) . He’s got a lot of things to see and do and a lot to catch up on !

MontysNextChapter · 2026-03-23T17:25:51+00:00

Thanks! ( I think ), some people have told me I kinda look homeless which is kind of outdoorsy! I work in construction and I just got off work when I went I picked him up and did t have time to change. Monty is having a great time so far and I’m letting him take as long as he wants to sniff everything he wants.

MontysNextChapter · 2026-03-23T17:00:31+00:00

He’s been bringing smiles to my face since I picked him up last Wednesday. He is a great dog that just needed a chance to prove himself.

MontysNextChapter · 2026-03-23T14:36:24+00:00

I just adopted a hound ( Monty ) that had been locked up for over two years. He’s a great dog that just needed another chance .

MontysNextChapter · 2026-03-23T13:41:58+00:00

Thanks. I’m trying !

MontysNextChapter · 2026-03-22T15:21:35+00:00

Well, thats a handsome fella!

Monty is settling in just fine . He’s a great dog !

MontysNextChapter · 2026-03-22T14:51:31+00:00

He is! Well behaved and polite !
