Story
While visiting a high kill county shelter so full dogs were in overflow crates, we spotted Howie and knew we had to come back if we found a foster. Thankfully when someone saw his precious face and short little legs, they offered to foster and Howie officially joined TFDH! Howie is estimated to be 9-10 months old. He definitely is part basset hound with his long stocky build and but given his narrow head we think he's part dachshund which would explain his smaller size (currently 29 pounds). He also has a ravenous appetite so he may have some beagle in him too (DNA test pending). Add all of those together and no doubt Howie is a handful - he's a busy bee and takes advantage of freedom. He is not a couch potato! Howie is dominantly playful with large & small dogs, sleeps soundly in his crate, is housebroken and walks well on a leash. He is always on alert and can be rather vocal to alert his people! For this reason a home with shared walls (apartment or townhome) isn’t ideal. We've discovered Howie LOVES watching tv and he even uses those big paws to paddle around a baby pool to stay cool in the summer heat. He doesn't particularly love to share his food or toys and he does eagerly takes treats so an adult only home would be best. Adopters will need to be understanding that Howie has some “finishing” to do and would benefit from professional training classes. He is up to date on core vaccinations, kept on flea/tick/heartworm prevention, and has been neutered and microchipped. Howie’s adoption fee is $300 which includes his neuter.
