Ford - Hound Dog for Adoption in Amherst, Virginia

MEET FORD — YOUR NEXT 51-POUND LAP DOG!

Ford has arrived, and he’s ready to drive straight into your heart!
Ford is a 2-year-old, 51.6 lb male Walker Hound with the most handsome tri-color coat and a personality that is approximately 90% goofy goober and 10% actual hound.

This boy is convinced that he is a tiny lap puppy... despite weighing over 50 pounds. If there’s a lap available, Ford WILL be attempting to occupy it. Personal space? Never heard of her.

Ford’s résumé includes:
Walks beautifully on leash
Cat friendly!
Dog friendly!
LOVES smooches
Professional lap warmer
Takes treats ever so gently
Certified goofball
Extremely affectionate

He came in with another Redtick mix, we know they were dumped. We wish people would just do the right thing & surrender during open hours so at least we can know their real names & some background to help us place them into their new homes...

Ford can be a little nervous around high-pitched noises, especially squeaky toys, so he’d appreciate a home that understands that some sounds make his Hound brain go, “EXCUSE ME, WHAT WAS THAT?!”

Otherwise, this handsome boy is ready to find his people, soak up some love, and continue his lifelong mission of becoming the world’s largest lap dog.

If you’re looking for a sweet, silly, affectionate hound who will happily be your shadow AND your personal cuddle buddy, Ford is your guy!
FORD IS READY TO RIDE HOME!

Come meet this big ol’ smooch-loving goofball!
His adoption fee is $150!
