Chowder - Basset Hound Dog for Adoption in Auburndale, Florida

Welcome Chowder! Chowder is a handsome 9-month-old whose family found the challenges of a basset puppy were simply too much on top of their other responsibilities. Although they loved him, they knew Chowder would be happier with a family experienced with all the quirks— and chaos! —that come with being a basset puppy.
Chowder is a perfect gentleman with other dogs he meets on his walks and also with cats. While he likes his leash walks, he would really love a backyard of his own, however.
He has the concept of housetraining, although is working on the finer points. We’ll be working to get Chowder up-to-date medically, and also see if we can address his allergies.
We’re looking forward to watching this handsome boy grow, learn, and find his forever family.

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.
