🥺 SARGENT NEEDS A FOREVER HOME 🥺
Meet Sargent, a 4-year-old, 125-pound Bloodhound with floppy ears, a big ol’ squishy face, and an even BIGGER heart! 🥹🧡
Sargent has known the love and comfort of a home since he was just 8 weeks old. He’s spent his entire life being part of a family, surrounded by people who love him, including three young children.
Unfortunately, due to his owner’s medical circumstances, his family had to make the heartbreaking decision to surrender him to the shelter.
And now he’s confused, and heartbroken. 💔
Imagine spending your entire life in a home, surrounded by familiar faces, routines, and love, only to suddenly find yourself in a loud, unfamiliar shelter.
Sargent doesn’t understand why he’s here. He doesn’t understand where his family went or why everything he’s ever known has changed.
All he knows is that his world has been turned upside down. 🥺
And we desperately want to find this sweet boy a FOREVER HOME where he can feel safe, loved, and secure again.
🐾 Here’s what we know about Sargent:
❤️ 4 years old and approximately 125 pounds of Bloodhound love!
❤️ WONDERFUL with children! Previously lived with kids ages 2, 6, and 7.
❤️ Does AMAZING with other dogs!
❤️ Walks great on a leash and enjoys getting out for walks!
❤️ House-trained and accustomed to living indoors as part of a family.
❤️ Crate trained and does great when left alone.
❤️ Would love a securely fenced yard where he can safely explore and follow that famous Bloodhound nose!
And speaking of that nose… 👃😂
Like any good Bloodhound, Sargent’s nose sometimes has a mind of its own! He’s been known to do a little counter surfing when that powerful sniffer catches a whiff of something delicious. So you might want to keep your snacks out of reach, because Sargent takes his sniffing duties VERY seriously! 🥓🐶
Sargent could also benefit from shedding a few pounds, so he’s looking for a family who can help him work toward a healthier weight with appropriate exercise, walks, and lots of love. He can occasionally experience stiffness or limping, so his new family will need to be mindful of his comfort and physical needs.
What breaks our hearts is knowing that Sargent has spent his entire life being someone’s beloved companion, and now he’s sitting in a shelter, scared and confused, through absolutely no fault of his own.
He doesn’t need a perfect home. He just needs someone willing to give him a soft bed. Walks to enjoy. A yard to sniff. Love. And a place where he can finally exhale and feel safe again.
Sargent still needs a little vetting, including getting up to date on his vaccinations, before he’s officially ready for adoption. But PLEASE don’t wait to apply! We’re accepting adoption applications NOW and would love to have his forever family lined up as soon as he’s ready!
🏡 SARGENT IS LOOKING FOR AN ADOPTER!
🙏 If you can’t adopt, PLEASE SHARE! Somewhere out there is a family who would absolutely adore this gentle giant. We just need to help them find him.
