Basset Hound and Mixed Breed Dogs Available for Adoption

Hi, my name is Spruce and I am from Arkansas!

From his foster: My name is Spruce and I am full of puppy joy!

I love all my toys!

I'm practicing coming when I'm called and sitting. I sleep through most of the night in my kennel. I'm really good at kennel practice too!

I pee or poop every time I go outside, but I still have accidents inside.

I love belly rubs and half asleep snuggles with my foster family too.

I'm still a young pup so there's so much more I can show you if you'll be my friend!

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 mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
