Basset Hound Dogs Available for Adoption in Tulsa, Oklahoma

Meet this oversized puppy in a grown-dog body who somehow missed the memo that adulthood is supposed to be calm.



This sweet, goofy boy is full of playfulness, personality, and “best friend” energy. He absolutely loves other dogs and would thrive with a playful canine buddy who can match his enthusiasm for zoomies, wrestling matches, and general joyful chaos. He's also good with tolerant cats. He doesn't have a prey drive, but he will try to recruit them into his social club whether they asked to join or not.



He's still learning that not everyone appreciates his giant puppy enthusiasm. Because he can get mouthy during play and may accidentally knock little ones over, we think he'd do best in a home without small children unless closely supervised.



The good news? This boy is smart and eager to learn. He lets his people know when he needs to go outside, hasn't had accidents, and is doing really well on leash walks. He's making progress every single day with handling, collars, and getting used to wearing a halter. His crate training is improving too. The nighttime howling concerts have officially been retired, though he may still offer a little whining commentary before bed.



What he really needs is someone willing to continue helping him grow into the amazing dog he's already becoming. A confident, patient leader who will keep working on manners, structure, and consistency will help this lovable goofball truly shine.



If you're looking for a fun-loving companion with a huge heart, playful spirit, and lots of potential, this boy may be your perfect match.

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.
