Tajin - Hound and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Ellicott City, Maryland

AGE: 12 weeks (as of 8/15/26)
WEIGHT: 10 lbs

Tajin is a playful pup and always ready for the next adventure. He's great with kids and has been happily putting up with his 7-year-old foster sibling.

Tajin was also ready to make friends with his foster familys dog almost immediately. He loves having a canine buddy to play with, but when its time to settle down, he has a very sweet and cuddly side. He'd be delighted to join you at nap time!

Tajin is working hard on his house training. He has a tiny bladder, so hes still figuring things out, but he does an excellent job of letting his foster know when hes had an accident in his crate—hell howl, bark, and whine to make sure someone gets the message! He sleeps well in his crate and continues to make progress.

If youre looking for a fun-loving, playful puppy who knows how to switch from LETS PLAY! to snuggle time, Tajin might be your guy!

The T litter came to us from our rescue partner in West Virginia.

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.
