Hobie is Learning New Tricks

Hobie is Learning New Tricks

“Hobie (formerly Brinks) is just a darling. He sits, stays, shakes, and has a perfect ‘down,’ when not distracted, of course! He's learning to ‘fetch the paper’ and to ‘wait’ before charging through a doorway. He's playful, curious, very smart, and just a regular love. He loves big dogs, and now that he has his rabies vaccine, he is going to K9 Divine's farm two days a week, which is heaven for him. We also love exploring the woods behind our house and the Archbold Glover Trail. Hobie is now a part time lawyer and loves going to my husband’s law office.

Help Find Missing Dog

Help Find Missing Dog

Madeline is about 45 lbs, red/tan coonhound mix about  22 inches high and about 5 years old (a little gray on her muzzle).  She is sleek and fast (kind of like a racehorse), has long legs and has short tan/red hair with a little white on her chest.  Unfortunately, she is afraid of humans so if seen, its important not to chase her. 

Ran away from the dog walker on 12/3/12 in Rockville, MD (near Montgomery College).  She was last (possibly) sighted in Kensington near the Marc Traing station.

Maddie is skittish so please don't chase - instead call 301-728-2771 immediately with location and direction she was heading in. Lost in the area of the Intersection of Astor Blvd and Nelson Drive Rockville, MD 20850, but some potential sightings in Kensington, MD.
