Basset Hound and Pointer Dogs Available for Adoption in Marysville, Ohio

Avery came to us as a stray. Later an unanimous citizen told us her name, but nothing else. Avery is a cutie, young and energetic. Avery will need a family willing to work on manners and housebreaking. Avery walks well on a leash. She seems to do well around the other dogs here in the shelter. Avery did briefly meet a couple of our house cats. She did well but then wanted to play. She may do best in a kitty free home or with a family willing to work on her co-existing with a cat(s).
If interested in adopting and visiting Avery, please fill out an online application and once approved we will be in contact to schedule a time to visit.

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 Pointer is a versatile and athletic dog breed known for its exceptional hunting skills and high energy levels. With a strong, sleek build and keen sense of smell, Pointers excel in bird hunting, especially in open fields. They are intelligent, eager to please, and make fantastic companions for active individuals or families who enjoy spending time outdoors. Their short coat requires minimal grooming, and their friendly nature and loyal temperament make them beloved members of the family.
