Basset Hound and Dutch Shepherd Dogs Available for Adoption

Meet the absolutely adorable Piper! This little girl is a sweetheart with a unique shape of a longer body and shorter legs, or known as a "low rider!" Piper is about 4 to 5 years old and a mixed breed of sorts. Possibly beagle or basset or dachshund with a smaller shepherd type??? We have no idea but she is the cutest and the SMARTEST! This girl already knew commands and was housetrained on arrival! Her unique shape and size make her a natural conversation starter wherever she goes! Being medium sized, she is big enough to play and explore, but small enough to cuddle right up next to you.
Piper has a calm and gentle nature and gets along wonderfully with dogs, cats and kids!! She is not a barker which makes for a more peaceful companion.
Piper is spayed, current on vaccinations, microchipped, heartworm tested and on monthly preventatives. If you think this sweet girl would fit into your family fill out an application on our website at www.handsofhoperescue.com. NOTE: PETFINDER MATCH IS NOT AN APPLICATION

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.

The Dutch Shepherd is a versatile and intelligent dog breed that excels in various roles, such as herding, guarding, and agility competitions. Known for their loyalty and high energy, Dutch Shepherds are highly trainable and make excellent companions for active families. With their distinctive brindle coat and alert expression, these medium sized dogs are valued for their work ethic and loving nature. They require mental and physical stimulation to thrive, making them a great choice for experienced dog owners looking for an engaging and devoted pet.
