Little Baby - Hound and Mountain Cur Dog for Adoption in Amherst, Virginia

This sweetheart is Little Baby.
He was owner surrendered when his family found homes for all their puppies except 2.

We aren't sure why Little Baby didn't find a home because he's amazing, with a smile that lights up a room!

His real name is Little Baby & he's just 7 months old.
He has really great manners & it was instant love for us meeting him!

His dark brindle markings are striking against the bright whites scattered here and there.
LB would make a great companion for a first time dog adopters.
He doesn't need a companion dog to be confident but he probably would surely enjoy another dog or kids to play with.

He won't get much larger than his current weight of 58 pounds.
Mastering leash walking and he just loves making new friends!

Gentle, perfect demeanor & an all around joy.

We fully vetted & neutered Little Baby last week.
He will soon join dogs at Camp Merricks next week to find new friends there as well.
He seems fine with cats too. Not a mean in his body!

IF you meet him he'll wiggle into your heart & work on you like he did us with his endless charm!

Adoption fee $200. since he's under 1 year old.

Work it Little Baby, work it!
