Hi everyone,
I would love to introduce ya'll to Trucker, my rescue baby. When I first saw my big man online he was posted as a Redbone/Lab Mix but when I adopted him the rescue had decided that the NC kill shelter had not only labeled his breed but his age wrong (they had said 4 or 5 when he is 2). I have confirmed with the AKC Redbone club and they too believe Trucker is a pure Redbone and about 2yrs old.
What do you guys think pure redbone?
This is this picture I saw when I picked him out:
Also, I would love any advice you guys can give on helping Trucker come out of his shell. He is so scared of everything (men and strangers especially). This sweet baby chose me to trust with his safety and I don't want to do anything to damage that trust. He has quite a few scars on his inside of his back legs that look like he was whipped (who does that). But I don't really know anything of his past since he was found wandering the woods of NC.
P.S. he has a cat brother Galileo (Leo) that he loves to "tree" up the cat tree
Here are the pictures: Trucker the Redbone Coonhound
