Sleepy is an approximately 8-year-old Basset/Beagle mix weighing around 41 pounds, and his name definitely fits him! This mellow guy is more interested in taking life at an easy pace than being the center of attention.

Sleepy is a sweet, laid-back boy who is still getting comfortable with shelter life. He’s working on his leash manners and making progress as he learns the ropes. He’s also currently undergoing heartworm treatment, but that hasn’t stopped him from being his mellow, lovable self.

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.

The Beagle is a beloved breed known for its friendly nature, curious personality, and distinctive howl. These small to medium sized dogs are incredibly sociable and get along well with both humans and other pets. Beagles are curious and energetic, always eager to follow a scent with their incredible sense of smell, making them excellent hunting and tracking dogs. Their short coat is easy to maintain, and they are adaptable to various living environments, making them popular companions for families and individuals alike.
