Haley - Basset Hound Dog for Adoption in Golden, Colorado

Meet Haley

Haley is an 8 year old, 48 lb. Basset Hound with the sweetest personality and A LOT to say.

Haley originally came from a high-kill shelter in California, where she was on the euthanasia list. She was adopted, but unfortunately her adopter had to surrender her to The Asher House because Haley and the cat were not a good match.

Haley is incredibly affectionate, loving, playful, and very, very vocal. She LOVES to howl. If you walk into another room and she doesn't see you for five minutes, you'd better believe she's going to celebrate your return like you've been gone for five years. She'll greet you with excitement, love, and, of course, a beautiful Basset Hound howl.

She loves going for long walks, hiking, playing, and just being with her people. She really is such a special dog.

Haley does well with other dogs, but she can resource guard, so if she goes to a home with other dogs, her family will need to be comfortable managing that. She would also be perfectly happy being the only dog in the home and getting all the love and attention for herself.

Because we want Haley to always feel safe and comfortable, we believe she would do best in a home without young children. Kids 11 and older would be a better fit. She also needs a cat-free home.

Haley has been through a lot, but none of it has taken away her sweetness or her love for life and people. She's funny, affectionate, active, full of personality, and ready to find the family who will love her exactly as she is.

Her adoption fee is $295 and she's spayed, vaccinated and microchipped.

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.
