Satine and her sibling Toulouse came from a high kill shelter. They are so cute and sweet! Were not sure what there mix is but it makes for some cute puppies!

7/24 Volunteer update: SATINE is an adorable puppy; she has a beautiful golden-red coat-pictures do not do her justice! She is very friendly and gives delicious puppy kisses~~She does well in her crate and is very gentle when handled.  SATINE would make a great addition to any family!

Foster Update 8.1.11: She is a very sweet girl who loves to cuddle and give lots of kisses, I cannot believe that she hasn't been scooped up yet!
 
She is tan and white with some black on her tail.  She weighed in around 20 pounds when we got her and she is eating two cups of food a day.  She also has learned the sit command and does it every time to get her doggie treats!  She gets along great with our other 4 Basset Hounds and they have been having a ball getting to know each other and playing in the back yard.  She has been having a fun time exploring her new surroundings and getting to sniff everything like hounds do!!  She is very mellow and low key and does not bark, unlike my dogs!  :>)  She is sleeping in a crate all through the night and gives great signals when she needs to go potty by going to the door till someone lets her out.   

According to www.dogbreedinfo.com, the Treeing Walker is a descendant of the English Foxhound, which Thomas Walker imported to Virginia in 1742. Sometime in the 1800's, a dog known as "Tennessee Lead," a stolen dog of unknown origin, was crossed into the Walker Hound. He was a powerful dog, excelling in game sense, drive and speed, and having a clear, short-chop mouth. The Treeing Walker was not recognized as its own breed until 1946. This direct lineage brings us this efficient hunter. This coonhound has retained the looks of its ancestors, the English Foxhound. An underlying sense of game coupled with untiring speed and manly drive makes this coonhound unstoppable. The coonhound lineage doesn't really stop at the Walker, for American hunters also employ other varieties as well. One such coonhound is known as the Running Walker. The Treeing Walker Coonhound is an efficient and reliable hunter of raccoons, squirrels, and possums. The Treeing Walker "trees" its prey, and can then sometimes virtually climb the tree to get at it. With a little training, however, it will merely bay its distinctive howl, telling the hunter that the prey has been cornered. The Treeing Coonhound is good with children and gets along with other dogs. Training is accomplished with little trouble, as these dogs are able to learn from example. They are primarily working and hunting dogs but will also make a great companion dog. Working, to the Treeing Walker Coonhound, is not work but a sport and diversion. They thrive on consistent and ample attention. High-strung but loving and eager to please, the Treeing Walker is intelligent, skilled and confident. Some say they are the best breed for coonhound field trials because of their speed, ability to locate quickly and good treeing ability. They are swift with a very good sense of smell and a distinctive howl. Socialize at a young age. They have a life expectancy of 12-13 years.
