Goggins - Basset Hound and Labrador Retriever Dog for Adoption in Berea, Kentucky

I’m a short Lab/Basset-looking mix, and while I may look a little different, don’t let that fool you—I’m just as energetic, lovable, and fun as they come! I’m housetrained, walk well on a leash, and I do great going out in a play group with about 10 other dogs. I’ve also met plenty of other dogs individually and have enjoyed their company. I love loud, squeaky toys, although I also really enjoy the part where I completely destroy them! I’m a treat lover, so food is definitely a great way to win me over. I have a mind of my own and can be a little hard-headed when you’re trying to get my attention, but that’s just part of my personality. I’m a happy, energetic guy who loves getting out, having fun, and showing off my goofy side. I’ll also admit that I have a voice and I’m not afraid to use it, but that’s just another part of my charm!

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.

With their loyal and loving nature, Labradors have rightfully earned their reputation as one of the most beloved dog breeds in the world.
