Hound Dogs Available for Adoption

Obo is looking for a forever home where snuggling is the norm and every day is filled with the gentle reassurance that he is dearly loved. Obo is truly a Velcro dog, in the best way! He will ALWAYS step up into your lap, give one of his hugs, nuzzle your neck, or bury his head in your chest. He loves visitors and is grateful to be around people! At 45-50 lbs and about 1.5 years old, Obo is a perfect medium size and has many years ahead of him to be your buddy. He shows some interest in chewing bones and playing fetch, but his greatest obsession will undoubtedly be YOU. He has greatly enjoyed playing with his foster sister and is fascinated by her; she, in turn, helps him be brave on walks and sets a good example for life in a home! Obo is still working on some obedience skills, BUT he is so eager to please that with some patience, these will be easily improved. (Obo would like to add that he is very good at “sit”and walks politely on a leash.) The ideal home for Obo would be one in which someone is home much of the day to give him ample attention, affection, and patience as he learns. A house with older children may be best as Obo can come on a bit strong with his physical affection.Obo would do great as part of the pack or as your only pup! Also, Obo is adorable. But you knew that already! Don’t wait to submit your application for this sweetie pie.

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.
