Basset Hound and Jack Russell Terrier Dogs Available for Adoption in Lincoln, Nebraska

He ain't nothing but a hound dog… or maybe a beagle, bulldog, corgi, dachshund… honestly, Elvis is a mystery mix with one very clear identity:
Certified Love Machine.

Elvis is the perfect medium-sized companion — sturdy, snuggly, and packed with personality. Just like his namesake, he loves giving kisses and turns into one big wiggle when he’s excited (which is often).

Elvis is incredibly affectionate and truly just wants to be with his people. He’s young but already potty trained and kennel trained, making him an easy addition to a home ready for a fun, loving companion. He’s working on leash walking and improving with practice. He enjoys toys and can entertain himself, but he also loves playing with his foster brothers — even though they’re twice his size. And when playtime is over? Elvis is a full-on couch potato who would happily snuggle up beside you for the rest of the evening.

He does have a curious nature and would benefit from a secure, strong fence, as exploring the world is very much on his agenda.

Elvis is not a fan of cats. He has done well with kids he's been introduced to at our meet & greet events.

Elvis isn’t subtle. He’s love, laughter, and wiggles all rolled into one.

🏡 The Ideal Furever Home
Elvis would thrive in a home that wants an affectionate, people-oriented dog who enjoys both playtime and downtime. A securely fenced yard is recommended to safely satisfy his curiosity and love of exploring.

He’d do well with other friendly dogs and would love a home where he can be part of daily life — whether that’s play sessions, couch snuggles, or simply following his humans around.

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 Jack Russell Terrier is a lively and intelligent small breed known for its boundless energy and strong hunting instincts. With a distinctive white coat and often sporting tan or black markings, these dogs are full of personality and require regular exercise and mental stimulation to thrive. Jack Russell Terriers are fiercely loyal and make excellent companions for active owners willing to provide the mental and physical challenges this energetic breed needs to stay happy and healthy.
