Hound Dogs Available for Adoption in Martinsville, Virginia

Meet Spud: the best worst puppy ever.

Worst because… there are genuinely no thoughts behind those eyes. Spud wakes up every morning ready to sprint directly into life headfirst with nothing but optimism and vibes guiding him. Every day is rainbows, sunshine, and complete chaos.

Best because despite all of that, he’s actually a pretty clean and well-behaved little guy. His foster says he’s doing great with house training and keeps his kennel clean too, which honestly feels shocking considering the level of nonsense constantly happening in his brain.

Spud is 7 months old, extremely people friendly, and very dog friendly. He loves to play, bounce around with other dogs, and make every person he meets his new best friend. He approaches life with the confidence of a dog who has never once had a single bad day.
