Hound Dogs Available for Adoption

Hi, I’m Patches

I’m a one-year-old bundle of energy, sweetness, and puppy charm. I’m playful, bouncy, and always ready for fun — but I also melt right into you when it’s cuddle time. I love being close to my people and am just as happy napping on the couch as I am heading out for an adventure.

I’m great with adults and older kids, and I recently met a 7-year-old who I was excited to play with (I can be a little nibbly in true puppy fashion, but it’s all playful and easily redirected). I’ve been gaining confidence on walks and am learning that strangers aren’t so scary after all.

I do wonderfully with other dogs, especially small ones — I’m playful and bouncy, but I take corrections well when I get too enthusiastic. I’ve shown some prey drive toward birds and squirrels, and I haven’t met a cat yet. A dog sibling would be a fun bonus as I continue building confidence, but it’s not required.

I’m house-trained, crate-trained (I sleep great overnight!), and I’m learning quickly. I already know sit, I’m working on shake a paw, and my recall is improving every day. I’m food motivated, smart, and love using my brain through training sessions. I walk nicely on leash with minimal pulling and am continuing to gain confidence exploring the world.

I do have that classic puppy energy — I jump when excited and can be mouthy in play — but I’m very redirectable and eager to learn. I also sometimes think slippers are toys, so keeping things picked up helps set me up for success!

With a high energy level that mellows nicely after exercise, I’d thrive in an active home that can provide daily walks, playtime, and continued training. I could live in a house or apartment as long as my physical and mental needs are met.

If you’re looking for a smart, affectionate, playful young dog who’s equal parts zoomies and snuggles, I might just be your Patches!

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.
