Shepherd and Basset Hound Dogs Available for Adoption

My name is Tater and I am the cutest little Tot! I am a low riding baby. The foster boy in my family calls me "stubby," I don't think that's very polite but he's not wrong. I am a confident little muffin at just 10 weeks and 14 lbs. I am super entertaining and social and really loving my life. I spend my day playing and wrestling with my puppy friends and cuddling up to my humans. I enjoy chewing on my toys and finding some mischief if I can. :) I am crate trained and if my foster mom would pay more attention (her words!), I would be basically fully housebroken at my young age. I am a smart cookie and if I have an accident it's right by the back door... I mean, come on! I could easily live in a home with kids and dogs (or not!); I haven't met a cat but I am sure I would just want to play. My dad was a medium shepherd mix and my mama is like me - a low-rider! I should not be very big full grown - we are guesstimating 30 to 35. I am located in NJ and ready to meet you. Here is an application if you would like to apply for me! https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/ZIVA/Dog

The Basset Hound is a unique and recognizable breed known for its long body, droopy ears, and soulful eyes. Originating from France, they were originally bred for hunting small game like rabbits due to their keen sense of smell and sturdy build. Despite their laid back and affectionate nature, Basset Hounds are also persistent and independent thinkers, which can make training a bit challenging. With their low energy levels and love for lounging, they make wonderful companion dogs for families seeking a loyal and easygoing pet.

The shepherd dog breed encompasses a versatile group known for their intelligence, loyalty, and strong work ethic. With a heritage deeply rooted in herding and protecting livestock, shepherds excel at various tasks ranging from obedience and agility competitions to search and rescue missions. Their protective nature makes them excellent family pets, offering unwavering devotion and a natural instinct to watch over and care for their loved ones. In addition to their remarkable abilities, shepherds are often characterized by their distinctive appearance, including a sturdy build, alert expression, and a signature double coat that provides insulation and protection in various climates.
