Hound and Mixed Breed Dogs Available for Adoption in Buford, Georgia

Poor 8 yr old Alexus was surrendered to an overcrowded shelter by her former "family" along with her much younger doggy brother (who was adopted!), and honestly it didn't look like she received any kind of care, ever. :(

She was thin, dirty, limping, and heartworm positive. She has sores and callouses from spending her life on hard surfaces (cage? cement?).

But despite all of that, this is one of THE sweetest dogs you could ever hope to meet!!

Alexus is with us now in a wonderful foster home. She is getting good nutrition, had a spa day, and went straight to the vet to check out her limp. She has arthritis in her elbows and spine, but she is now on medication and supplements to help with that.

She has begun her heartworm treatment, but she can be adopted during it, as long as her new family is willing to follow the simple instructions at home and take her to 3 upcoming appts in Hall Co.

If you are looking for a complete snuggler who loves all people, loves dogs, is great in the car, housetrained, and just an easy girl you can stop your search right here!

Alexus is on the road to recovery after a hard life, and we are ready to see her healed and in a loving family who will take great care of her- ok, and who will spoil her rotten! 😅 - from now on! She doesn't ask for much, but she deserves everything wonderful that a dog could have!

If you meet her, we promise you will love her instantly.

The hound dog breed is a diverse group known for their incredible hunting abilities and keen sense of smell. These dogs are esteemed for their athleticism, endurance, and loyalty, making them excellent companions for active individuals and families alike. With a rich history of assisting hunters in tracking and trailing game, hounds possess a strong prey drive and a distinctive bay when on the hunt. Hounds come in various sizes and coat types, each with its unique characteristics, but they all share a remarkable intelligence and a friendly disposition.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
