Basset Hound and Dachshund Dogs Available for Adoption in Mead, Colorado

Sweet mama Darla is only about a year old. She came to us heavily pregnant and whelped 4 adorable puppies! Now, it’s her turn to find her forever home. Darla is a very sweet, mild-mannered, girl that’s great with dogs, cats, and kiddos. She came to us as an owner surrender due to her family having too many animals. Her prior family reports lots of grandchildren that Darla loved – we’ve seen the same type of adoration from her since she’s been in our care, as well. Darla doesn’t have much experience on a leash, so ideally she can find a forever home with a yard and humans that are home often to help her with her house training. She seems fine to be fine with crating and is affection and treat motivated so she will certainly be a quick study! Darla weighs right at 25 lbs. She will be ready to go to her forever home the first week of June!

Darla is in foster in Mead, Colorado.

The Basset Hound is a unique and recognizable breed known for its long body, droopy ears, and soulful eyes. Originating from France, they were originally bred for hunting small game like rabbits due to their keen sense of smell and sturdy build. Despite their laid back and affectionate nature, Basset Hounds are also persistent and independent thinkers, which can make training a bit challenging. With their low energy levels and love for lounging, they make wonderful companion dogs for families seeking a loyal and easygoing pet.
