Leroy - Basset Hound Dog for Adoption in Auburndale, Florida

Welcome Leroy! Leroy is a very handsome 3-year-old who has spent his early years living on a small farm. Unfortunately, his family is facing some health challenges that make it difficult to keep up with a young, rambunctious basset, so they made the difficult decision to ask SBR to help find Leroy a new home.

Leroy is looking for a family with a fenced yard, room to run, and ideally some canine friends to keep him company. He enjoys the great outdoors and has plenty of energy to burn. He also likes to chase cats, so a cat-free home will be important. And he hasn’t had experience around children, so probably not a home with young kids.

But once the outdoor adventures are over, Leroy is ready to come inside and become a full-fledged snuggle bug.

Active outdoorsman + professional cuddler + all the comforts of home = Leroy!

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.
