Story
AIN'T NOTHIN' BUT A HOUND DOG....Twelve year old low riding Bassett Hound ELEANOR is as fun to look at as she is to meet. Her round belly, short legs and floppy ears all contribute to the cuteness, almost cuteness overload. Her senior years show in the grey around her muzzle and the gentle but purposeful stride of her chunky paws. Friendly and treat motivated, 70 pound Eleanor pleasantly walks on a leash. Excitement might get the best of her, however, on walks when joggers or small animals pass through her line of sight. She's playful - loves all kinds of toys - and can easily go for car rides with her family.Did we forget to mention, this pretty girl is house trained!Eleanor seeks a home without small children. She was surrendered after snapping at the young child in her previous home.Eleanor has not been around other dogs too much but we have tested her in our shelter playgroup. She seems dog tolerant/selective with our vetted gentle dogs. Senior gals are not usually fans of rough and rowdy play. *Please remember we are also supervising constantly in playgroup. Come on out and just ask to meet her! Primary Color: Tan Weight: 78

Please contact Jetta (Jetta.elliott@att.net) for more information about this pet.Year and a half old Basset hound mixMessage jetta.elliott@at&t.net Honey is a wonderful little girl.

Very obedient, loving and loyal. She has the best personality and disposition. She’s currently located in Harrison, Arkansas, but would be brought to via the rescue network transport.May 12, 2026, 9:32 pm

Story
Diane, who also goes by Lulu in her foster home, is a 2-year-old classic Basset with a soft coat, a gentle heart, and a deep love for her people. This sweet girl is quiet and calm indoors, often described as a “love bug” who will happily place her paws in your lap to ask for pets and attention. She’s housetrained, uses a doggie door, and settles nicely into the home, even sleeping peacefully on her own bed at night. Diane truly thrives on companionship and forms strong bonds with her humans.Diane enjoys her daily walks and has made great progress with training, especially when it comes to staying focused on her person. She’s smart, food-motivated, and responds well to guidance and positive reinforcement. While she loves people, she does best as the only dog in the home, as other dogs can make her feel stressed. With continued training and a patient handler, she’s learning how to calmly pass other dogs when given space and direction.Diane would do best in a quieter home where she won’t encounter constant dog traffic and where her adopter is committed to continuing her training. She can be a bit of a food opportunist, so keeping counters clear and working on boundaries will be important. Because she may guard high-value treats, she’s best suited for a home with older, dog-savvy children, age 10 or older. With the right environment and guidance, Diane will reward her family with loyalty, affection, and plenty of sweet, snuggly moments. Contact BROOD today to meet Diane! Her adoption fee is $300.00.**Only BROOD-approved adopters can meet a dog (no exceptions). Our adoption application is on the BROOD website at https://brood-va.org/adoptionapp/.

Story
Meet Oliver 🐾 Oliver is an almost 7 y’o Basset Hound/Mini Australian Shepherd mix who is incredibly loyal and loving with his people. He’s a gentle, affectionate companion and has been amazing with our three young children—patient, calm, and sweet. He thrives when someone is home often, as he can have separation anxiety and may bark or get into things if left alone too long. Oliver is also very protective of his home and family. He can be wary of strangers and needs slow, careful introductions and clear boundaries (he has bit people who put their hands too close upon introduction) but once he feels safe, he becomes a big, loving teddy bear. Oliver would do best in a home with minimal visitors, someone home most of the day, and an owner willing to work with him or experienced with protective dogs. This is a hard decision, and we’re hoping to find him a home where he can truly thrive.

Story
Benji is a 2-year-old Basset mix pup, bursting with energy and personality. This sweet, playful boy loves being around people and has never met a stranger he didn’t want to befriend. He’s curious about everything and enjoys watching the world go by from the window when he’s not busy playing. With his affectionate nature, Benji will happily hop into your lap for a quick cuddle before zooming off for his next adventure.Benji has a high activity level and thrives when he has plenty of opportunities to run, play, and explore. He enjoys romping around the fenced yard, going for neighborhood walks, and roughhousing with his canine friends. Benji is a quick learner who responds well to praise and redirection, and he’s already learning good manners like leaving slippers and socks alone when told “no.” His playful zoomies and goofy “army crawl” belly scratch are guaranteed to make his family laugh.Benji is housetrained and crate trained, and he even understands when it’s “bedtime.” He enjoys chew toys and bones and is a great eater who takes his daily medication without fuss. Benji has some skin allergies that require special food and a daily pill, but he handles his routine like a champ. Because of his energy and love of running, he would do best in a home with a fenced yard where he can safely burn off his enthusiasm and continue being the happy, lovable dog he is.This busy boy is looking for a family to keep up with his shenanigans. Could that be you? Contact BROOD today to meet Benji! His adoption fee is $250.00.**Only BROOD-approved adopters can meet a dog (no exceptions).
