Basset Hound Dogs Available for Adoption in New York, New York

Age: 1 year
Size: 40 lbs
Good with: kids, cats, dogs

Glossy arrived at our rescue partner in Tennessee severely emaciated — so underweight that it took a vet visit to discover she was heavily pregnant and days from labor. She gave birth to seven puppies, and though only one survived, Glossy came through it all with a gentle strength that is nothing short of remarkable.

She is one of the sweetest dogs you'll ever meet. Mellow and quietly affectionate, she loves children, dogs, and cats, and carries herself with a calm, easy presence that makes her a joy to have around. She's well-behaved at home and a pleasure to walk.

Glossy is fostered in Brooklyn, NY, and is available for local or out-of-state adoption as long as the adopter can travel to meet her. To get the adoption process started, please send us an application at https://bit.ly/rosr-adopt-foster.

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.
