Harvey — The Playful, Puppy‑Hearted Basset and Terrier Mix

Harvey is a 25‑pound bundle of joy with the long‑eared charm of a basset hound and the goofy, irresistible energy of a puppy. This boy is all about fun — he loves to play, explore, and soak up every bit of attention he can get.

He’s the perfect match for a family with kids who want a cheerful, active companion to run around with. Harvey is super loving and thrives on affection, always ready for snuggles after a good play session.

He gets along well with all the dogs here at the shelter, though he’d be happiest in a home with female dogs, where he feels most comfortable and confident.

Harvey is ready to bring laughter, love, and endless tail wags to the family lucky enough to call him their own.

Harvey is located in Hondo, Texas

He is Heartworm and CHAGAS negative.

*The breed(s) listed are guessed and based on the dog's physical appearance*

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 terrier is a spirited and intelligent dog breed known for its feisty personality and boundless energy. Terriers come in various sizes and coat types, but they all share a common heritage as fearless and determined hunters. These dogs are typically highly trainable, making them versatile companions for active individuals and families alike. With their loyalty and playful demeanor, terriers are beloved for their endless enthusiasm and affectionate nature.
