Hera - Basset Hound Dog for Adoption in Auburndale, Florida

Meet Hera! Hera is a beautiful 2-year-old tricolor whose family found themselves working more hours and realized she needed a family who could give her the time, attention, and companionship she deserves.

Hera is an active, outdoorsy girl who comes from a deer-hunting lineage. She loves being outside, exploring, and enjoying the company of other dogs. There is one thing she definitely doesn't enjoy, though: cats!

With her sweet personality, playful spirit, and love of both adventure and affection, Hera has all the makings of a wonderful addition to the right family. This lovely girl will work her way into your heart before you even know it!
