Hound and Mixed Breed Dogs Available for Adoption in Smithfield, North Carolina

Meet our extra special tripod! Lizzy came to us originally as an older puppy with a leg injury that could not be corrected. We had to go amputation. The very next day, she was up and running like nothing happened. Lizzy was adopted into what we thought was an awesome home but she was abandoned after a few years. Since rejoining us, Lizzy is proving to be the awesome dog she was previously. She loves to play with toys, run, chase a ball, etc. This girl is house-trained, crate trained, good with most other dogs. Current weight is 62 lbs.

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.
