Hound and Beagle Dogs Available for Adoption in Potomac, Maryland

Meet CJ - The Sweetest Little Hound Around!
If you're looking for a loyal companion with a heart of gold, CJ may be your perfect match! This handsome 1-year-old Beagle/Hound mix weighs in at a perfect 32 pounds-just the right size for adventures, snuggles, and everything in between.
CJ is truly one of the sweetest dogs you'll ever meet. He loves everyone he encounters and gets along wonderfully with people and other dogs alike. His gentle, affectionate personality makes it impossible not to fall in love with him.
CJ's story hasn't always been easy. Before coming into rescue, he spent his life as an outside hunting dog and had never experienced the comfort of living inside a home. Thanks to his amazing foster mom, CJ is discovering just how wonderful family life can be! He's learning all about house manners, cozy beds, and potty training, and he's making great progress every day.
As a young hound mix, CJ would love a canine sibling to romp and play with. Having another dog in the home would help keep him entertained and continue building his confidence. If he ends up being your one and only pup, he'll thrive with an active family that enjoys hiking, long walks, outdoor adventures, or even doggy daycare to help him burn off energy and socialize.
CJ is true to his breed and follows his nose wherever it leads! He absolutely loves exploring the world through scent and would be happiest with a family that appreciates plenty of "sniffari" walks and opportunities to investigate all the exciting smells around him.
Like many dogs adjusting to indoor life, CJ will need a patient family willing to continue his training and help him build confidence. In return, you'll get a devoted best friend who is eager to please and grateful for every bit of love he receives.
CJ is ready to leave his past behind and start the next chapter of his life with a family of his very own.
Apply today to meet this wonderful boy-you won't regret it!
