Hound Dogs Available for Adoption

Meet Edith! Edith is approximately 1 year old and is an unknown mix, but has features that are similar to a possible hound-type mix. We can't know for sure without a DNA test, but she is 54 lbs of pure love!

Edith was found as a stray near a busy highway and was never claimed by her family. We cannot imagine how scary this must've been for her, so we've been smothering her with love ever since! Edith has a bashful/submissive type of personality and loves to cuddle up to her humans to feel safe. We call her a "Stage 5 Clinger" and she's going to make a wonderful companion to someone who loves cuddly dogs.

Because we don't know her past, we're learning as we go with Edith and her family will need to do the same. She may be easily spooked, but takes comfort in her humans and warms up so quickly! She keeps her kennel clean, so we think she's likely potty trained. She responds well to children and should do well around other dogs & cats as long as everyone is properly introduced and supervised. Because of her demeanor, overly-assertive dogs might be intimidating to her.

Edith rides well in the car and walks nicely on leash. Continuing with even more training should also help to build her confidence! She is a moderate-energy girl, so a nice daily walk should do the trick for her exercise needs. We also noticed she likes to sniff, so a 'sniffari' through the wooded trails would also likely be enjoyable for her!

Edith is such a sweet, loving girl who relies so much on her humans for comfort - if you're the type of person who has a quieter household and the desire to have a companion by your side, Edith is your girl! We are doing all meet n' greets BY APPOINTMENT ONLY after an adoption application has been approved:

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.
