AVAILABLE BASSET HOUNDS

Meet Alice!

Alice is a curious, adventurous 7 y/o Basset Hound with a big heart and a classic hound personality.

• ​Energy & Routine: Active and playful. She loves starting her day with a couple-mile morning walk to sniff everything in sight.

• ​Personality: Social yet sensitive. She wants to greet every human and dog she meets, though she can get overwhelmed and appreciates patient, gentle introductions.

• ​Dog Compatibility: Great with other dogs when given proper, structured intros

• ​Hound Quirks: Classic selective hearing with a 50/50 recall. She is an escape artist, so secure fencing and dedicated leash handling are essential.

• ​House Training: Fully accident-free when kept in a designated, puppy-proofed play area while her humans are away.

Sweet, playful, and guaranteed to turn heads on every walk, Alice is ready for her forever home.

Ginger is an 8-year-old, 50-pound female basset hound who is sweet, silly, smart, and full of personality. Once she knows and trusts you, Ginger is an affectionate companion who loves being close to her people. Chin scratches, belly rubs, attention, toys, walks, and exploring are among her favorite things. She is also a smart girl who knows SIT, EASY, GENTLE, and WAIT and learns quickly, especially when treats are involved. Her enthusiasm for snacks means she sometimes needs a reminder to use her manners!

Ginger is housetrained and crate-trained and sleeps peacefully through the night in her crate. She enjoys other dogs, particularly those who want to play with her, but is equally happy to give dogs their space when they are not interested. She also loves cats. Ginger has a wonderfully goofy side and enjoys stuffed toys, although her preferred way to play is to systematically remove every bit of stuffing. She enjoys slow walks, adventures, and exploring, with an occasional basset zoomie thrown in for good measure.

Ginger does need time to warm up to unfamiliar people. She may bark at strangers and can snap if someone she does not know attempts to pet her, so her adopters will need to be comfortable managing introductions and respecting her boundaries. Because of this, she would do best in a home without children under 12. Older children who understand and respect that dogs need personal space will be a better fit. Ginger's previous injury has also left her with some weakness in her back end. This is currently managed with medication and appropriate activity levels. She gets around well and enjoys being active, but her family will need to protect her back, including preventing her from jumping on and off furniture.

Ginger is looking for an experienced, patient family who will give her time to trust new people, respect her boundaries, manage her back care, and appreciate her big personality. In return, she offers the companionship of a loving, entertaining basset who is ready to fill her forever home with affection, laughter, adventures, and plenty of belly rubs.
