PETRA - Dachshund and Basset Hound Dog for Adoption in Humboldt, Tennessee

When I look at this little lady I see the most adorable little “semi-low rider” girl...just beautiful and I love her markings. Petra will be a lot of fun to the lucky family that adopts her! She is sweet, happy, spunky and good natured, but she is a little more shy than her sister. Still being a youngster, she loves nothing more but running around playing with the other pups and her toys. She enjoys being around people and gets along great with the other dogs. My wish for Petra is to be adopted by a fun and active family that will include her in their everyday comings and goings. Petra and her sister Penny (also posted) were pulled from a local animal shelter. Petra is 5 12 months old (dob 4/4/26) and weighs 24 pounds at the time of this posting (9/18/26). She has been spayed, microchipped, fecal tested, current on all vaccinations, worming and is on heartworm and flea prevention. Her adoption fee is $400.

Petra is being fostered in Tennessee. Once adopted she will be transported to her pickup location by a professional dog transport company. Our rescue ships to the New England area most weeks and her fee includes transportation. Due to state laws, we cannot accept applications from residents of Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island or Maine since we can’t adopt directly to those states.

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 dachshund is a small dog breed known for its long body, short legs, and distinctive appearance. Originally bred for hunting badgers, these playful and loyal dogs make loving companions for families. Dachshunds come in three coat varieties smooth, wirehaired, and longhaired each with its own unique charm. Despite their size, dachshunds are bold and courageous, with a curious nature that can sometimes lead to mischief. Their endearing personality and adaptability make them popular pets worldwide.
