Hound Dogs Available for Adoption

Kash is an even tempered, friendly boy. He arrived to our shelter as a stray and has been well behaved and eager to meet the staff. He is good on a leash. He has gotten along with the other dogs and cats he has met here at the shelter.

At 3-4 years old, Kash is in his prime. He weighs about 50 pounds. This good boy should fit into just about any home with an individual or family looking for a respectful, loyal friend.

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.
