Hound and Mixed Breed Dogs Available for Adoption in Potomac, Maryland

Meet Archie

Archie is a stunning 1-year-old red mahogany hound mix! With his rich coloring and expressive eyes, he's as handsome as he is full of personality.

This active, fun-loving boy is always ready for an adventure-whether it's a long walk, playtime with dog friends, or exploring the great outdoors. He gets along well with other dogs and would enjoy a home with a canine companion, but he'd also be happy soaking up all the attention as your one-and-only.

He could do well in a home with children who are excited to have a playful, energetic buddy. He's continuing to build his confidence with his crate and is learning that it can be a cozy, relaxing space.

He'd thrive in a home where someone is around a good amount of the time to keep him engaged, active, and included in daily life. With his joyful spirit and affectionate nature, he's sure to bring a lot of love and fun to his forever family. Archie is neutered and up-to-date on vaccines.

The adoption fee for this dog is $425 which includes routine vetting and spay/neuter.

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.
