Velma - Bloodhound Dog for Adoption in Downers Grove, Illinois

Hi, I'm Velma! I'm a 7.5-year-old Bloodhound with a beautiful tan coat, ears that go on for days, and an affectionate, social personality. If I could snuggle all day, then that is probably what I would do! My second favorite thing to do is to go on a nice long walk where I can explore all the interesting smells in the neighborhood. I've done basic obedience and am very treat-motivated! I love people of all ages, but I'm a larger girl so I might knock over tiny tots if I'm not managed properly! I am dog-selective, and I take a while before I am convinced another dog is worth having as a friend. That's ok though, you won't need another dog because my loving personality will fill the whole house! I will make a magnificent, loyal companion for the lucky person who brings me home. If you think I'd make the perfect addition to your family, apply to meet me today!

SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS: Only pet, would do best with a fenced yard

The bloodhound is a large scent hound known for its exceptional tracking abilities. With a distinctive wrinkled face and droopy ears, these dogs have a keen sense of smell, second only to the beagle. Bloodhounds are gentle, affectionate, and good with children, making them excellent family pets. Their determination and relentless tracking skills have made them invaluable in search and rescue missions. Regular exercise and mental stimulation are essential to keep these intelligent dogs happy and healthy.
