Grace - Basset Hound Dog for Adoption in Auburndale, Florida

Meet Grace! This sweet senior girl came to us as a stray from a county shelter. Grace is estimated to be around 10 years old and has most likely lived a rough life. From here on out, though, its nothing but love, attention, soft beds, and the medical care she deserves.

Her vet visit confirmed an eye infection and severe dental disease—as expected—but also revealed that the lump at the top of her neck was directly tied to that dental disease. SBR got her in quickly for the medical care she needed and she is now fully recovered and enjoying the good life with her foster 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.
