Lucy - Basset Hound Dog for Adoption in Auburndale, Florida

Welcome Lucy! Lucy is a charming 112-year-old tricolor girl who had developed a habit of wandering off her owner’s unfenced property—and finding herself in the pokey. Her owner realized that wasn’t a good situation for anyone and contacted SBR for help.

Our team leapt into action, and in less than 24 hours, Lucy was on her way to a foster home—after, of course, a quick stop for a pup cup!

We already know that Lucy has a sweet, gentle personality and is great with both other dogs and kids. She’s still working on her potty-training skills, but she’s a smart girl, so we’re confident she’ll get the hang of it quickly!

We’re looking forward to learning more about Lucy as she settles into her foster home and gets comfortable.

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.
