Beagle and Basset Hound Dogs Available for Adoption in Latrobe, Pennsylvania

Meet Harold, a 1½-year-old male Beagle/Basset Hound mix with a big personality and an even bigger heart! This happy, easygoing guy absolutely loves people and thrives on attention. He’ll happily lean right up against you to soak in all the pets he can get, making him the perfect companion for someone who enjoys an affectionate, close-by buddy. Harold always seems to have a smile on his face, especially when he’s spending time with his people or heading out on a new adventure.

True to his Beagle/Basset roots, Harold’s nose is always to the ground when he’s outside—he loves taking in all the sights and (especially) smells around him! Walks are one of his favorite activities, but he is a strong boy and does tend to pull on the leash. Because of this, potential adopters should plan to take him for a test walk to make sure they’re comfortable handling his strength and helping him continue to work on his leash manners.

Harold is also quite the talker! He loves to “chat” and let you know what’s on his mind, which just adds to his charming and entertaining personality. Whether he’s greeting you, asking for attention, or just joining in on the conversation, his voice is sure to make you smile.

Smart, eager to please, and full of love, Harold is ready to find a home that will embrace all of his fun, hound-dog quirks. With a little guidance, plenty of exercise, and lots of affection, he’s going to make a loyal, joyful, and wonderfully entertaining companion.

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.
