Basset Hound Dogs Available for Adoption

Big head, short legs, long body . . . What have we got here? Give up? OK, Basset Hound in there for sure but where did that head come from? This is Dozer, a senior citizen at around 10 years old. He sure loved his spa date at Laura's Laundramutt. Warm water, soapy massage, blow dry, ear cleaning, and a quadruple pedicure.

Dozer is vaccinated, crate and leash trained and scheduled for some personal surgery toward the end of the month. He seems to like other dogs (if you measure it by the speed of his tail wag), not sure about cats. For information about how to adopt Dozer, please send a note to salemdogs@aol.com and tell us about yourself, family, home, yard, fence type and height, other pets, work situation and a vet reference.

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.
