Swisher - Hound and Rhodesian Ridgeback Dog for Adoption in Fort Worth, Texas

This guy is literally the best! He’s a 7 month old hound mix who is so easy. He loves playing and is a goofball but also is fine being calm. He sleeps right by my bed at night but he’s also good in a crate. Swisher is such a lovable fellow - he adores eveyone - dogs, cats and kids. He has a very mellow demeanor and can acclimate with any personality of dog. Swisher has good manners - potty/crate trained, walks well on a leash, rides in the car like a champ, isn’t a big barker. Half the time, he has one ear flipped over like the goofy boy that he is.

He has double dew claws and a couple of his siblings had ridges so my guess is Great Pyrenees/Rhodesian Ridgeback. We love his markings! We feel like he will be about 75 lbs when grown. He has long legs! Swisher would do great in just about any home. He has the great characteristics of each breed.

We really love this boy. He had an unfortunate first adoption and he deserves the best home! He is totally vetted and ready. PLEASE help us share - his people are out there.
