Even though this goofy boy sometimes acts like a dumb jock , he picks up on learning quickly. Clyde is super sweet, with moderate energy. He would make a family that loves hiking, camping or any out doors activity a really great pet.

Story
Author & Cowboy 7 month old basset hounds Must be adopted together. ( they love each other) ❤️ . These are two of the sweetest boys. They love to play and follow their person around. Both get along with other dogs and cats. Bassets are notorious for chasing smells and wondering off, so if you’re looking to adopt this pair of cuteness you MUST have a fenced in yard or underground fencing to keep them safe and secure. These dogs are loud, so if you’re looking for quiet these aren’t for you. These pups love the outdoors and have always had free range of their yard. They are kenneled at night. They aren’t house broken. These two enjoy sitting and even crawling into your lap when our playing, they like to have the ball tossed to them as well. When outside doing laps they will follow me until I’m finished or until something else catches their attention! 😂

Chili, is a super sweet and cuddly 8 year old male dachshund. This loving old man loves other dogs, doesn’t mind full grown cats ( keep away from kittens, chickens small animals) and would make the ultimate snuggle partner. He is up to date on vaccinations, has had a dental, neutered, will soon be microchipped, will have his last round of meds for his heartworm treatments April 14th & 15 and will also come with a 1 year supply of heartguard plus!

Story
He hates kennels , but i don’t blame him after how he was found. He is absolutely not potty trained. That’s okay though. Doggie diaper it is … He IS a complete cuddle bug. He is friendly with other dogs. He will chase a cat, but to play and not be mean. Hank has had a dental, up to date on all vaccines, IS light heartworm positive, but we are treating, and has trouble seeing. I think he will make a very special person a great little companion and a fantastic lap warmer.

Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Found her five or six years ago, wandering , lost on backroad near my home. I brought her with me and she has been here since then. Big Gurl had puppies 3.5 years ago. Father is part Pitt and Lab. I have two female siblings also living with me. My aim is to find Big Gurl an inside home with more human contact than I can give her. I can't bring her inside due to two small dogs. The outside accommodations are very nice but she needs more attention overall. She is a little rough with the two sibling females and probably needs to be a single pet for an adult. Well behaved at vet visits. No growling at other dogs. Loves the people in the waitng room and the staff.loves the FedEx driver who brings her treats. There wasn't an objective for my true reason listed in the drop down. I put relocating just to continue.Actually, she needs an inside home and more attention. Another reason is, I am her only provider and a senior person. She needs a good home with assurance of continued care. Thank you
