Plott Hound puppies and dogs in Palmdale, California

Looking for a sweet, handsome hunk with soulful eyes, a gentle heart, and a serious appreciation for a comfy bed? Meet Ace! This approximately 6-year-old, 65-pound Plott Hound is the whole package: a gorgeous brindle-coated gentleman with a laid-back personality and a heart full of love. He’s kennel trained and happily trots right into his kennel when asked. Car rides? No problem! Ace is a calm and easy-going travel buddy who’s ready to ride shotgun on your next adventure. Ace gets along well with other dogs, too! And while he is a Plott Hound, he seems to have misplaced his hound choir membership. Doesn’t appear very vocal in our care. Maybe he’s saving his big performance for a special occasion. Ace is a strong puller on leash, so he’ll need a person prepared to help him work on his walking manners. He did very well with a properly fitted nose halter or prong collar, and his future human should be comfortable using appropriate walking equipment safely. Like most adoptable dogs Ace may also need a little extra patience and security while he bonds with his new person and settles into his new home. He can be a flight risk during this adjustment period, so a securely fenced yard of at least 5 feet is recommended. He must remain leashed on walks, and he should never be left unattended in the yard until he’s fully acclimated and reliable about staying home. Think of it as keeping this handsome explorer safe while he learns that he’s finally found his forever place. Ace isn't asking for a mansion or a million-dollar dog bed (although he probably wouldn't complain). He just needs a loving human, a little patience, a safe place to call home, and someone willing to help him settle in and shine. Could you be the lucky person who gives Ace his happily-ever-after? Ace is available to adopt in Utah. Please visit our website to complete an adoption application for Ace: https://jasonheigl.foundation/adopt/dog/ace/

🐾 MEET DIANA — A BEAUTIFUL SOUL WITH A HEART AS BIG AS HER HUGS! ❤️ 3-Year-Old Plott Hound | Female | 84.5 lbs 📍 Friends of Upland Animal Shelter — Upland, CA 🐾 Animal ID: IEPA-A-19598 📅 Intake Date: August 12, 2026 Some dogs steal your heart the moment you meet them. Others have a story that makes you love them even more. Diana is both. ❤️ With her stunning brindle coat, adorable smiling face, and that irresistible little wiggle in her walk, Diana is an extraordinarily beautiful girl. But as gorgeous as she is on the outside, her greatest beauty is something photographs simply cannot capture: her wonderfully gentle, affectionate, and loving personality. And Diana has quite a story to tell. 🌸 A Difficult Beginning, a Beautiful Transformation When Diana first arrived at the shelter, life was anything but easy. She was suffering from serious and painful medical conditions that required surgery and treatment. Imagine arriving in an unfamiliar place, surrounded by strangers, while experiencing tremendous physical discomfort and distress. Understandably, Diana struggled. Her fear and pain sometimes came out as defensive behavior, and there were concerns about her ability to adjust to shelter life. But one volunteer, Mark, saw beyond those difficult moments. With patience, kindness, and a willingness to give Diana the time she needed, Mark helped her through those challenging early days. And something beautiful happened. As Diana recovered physically and began to feel safe, her wonderful personality blossomed. The frightened, hurting dog gave way to the gentle, happy, affectionate Diana we know and adore today. Her recovery has been remarkable, and she has become a volunteer favorite! Sometimes, all a dog needs is medical care, a little patience, and someone who believes in her. ❤️ 🐕 Meet the Diana We Know Today! Diana is a delightful combination of calmness, affection, intelligence, and happiness. She walks beautifully on leash, knows basic commands, and is eager to learn, especially when delicious treats are involved! She's a social butterfly who enjoys meeting people and spending time with her human friends. And then there are her hugs! Yes, Diana occasionally likes to stand up and give someone a loving hug. She's not an excessively jumpy dog, but every now and then, this nearly 90-pound sweetheart simply has too much love to keep all four paws on the ground! Her affectionate personality is matched by a lovely, peaceful disposition. Diana enjoys her walks and exploring the world, but she also knows how to slow down and appreciate the simple pleasures of life. And despite her impressive size, Diana considers herself a lap dog! ❤️ We suspect she hasn't quite realized how big she is! 🌳 A Wonderful Walking Companion One of Diana's favorite activities is enjoying a relaxing walk with her human friends. She walks nicely on leash and seems perfectly happy taking in the sights, smells, and sounds around her. She's curious without being overly excitable, and her calm, confident manner makes spending time with her a genuine pleasure. And have we mentioned her walk? Diana has the most adorable way of moving, with a gentle side-to-side wiggle that makes it look as though she's dancing through life! It's impossible not to smile when you see her coming. 🏡 Diana's Dream Home Diana would love a home where she can enjoy regular walks, companionship, affection, and plenty of opportunities to relax with the people she loves. She has a calm personality but would also enjoy an active family that includes her in everyday adventures. Children: Diana recently enjoyed a lovely encounter with a family with children during one of her walks. She behaved beautifully! Because of her size and occasional enthusiastic hugs, we recommend a home with children ages 13 and older. Other dogs: Diana has not yet been formally tested with other dogs. However, she has shown no observed reactivity when encountering dogs during walks or seeing them pass by the play yard. Further introductions and evaluation would be needed to determine compatibility. Cats: Diana needs a home without cats. Although she may appear uninterested in cats at a distance, closer encounters have revealed a strong interest in chasing them. Experience: With her gentle temperament, intelligence, and eagerness to learn, Diana could be a wonderful companion even for a first-time dog owner comfortable handling a large dog. ❤️ Can You Imagine Life With Diana? Imagine a chilly winter evening. You're curled up on the couch, a warm blanket across your lap, watching your favorite movie. Beside you is Diana, peacefully sleeping, perhaps with her beautiful head resting on your feet. Or imagine a lazy summer afternoon, the two of you enjoying a quiet nap after a lovely morning walk. No grand adventures needed. No extraordinary moments. Just the simple, wonderful happiness of sharing your life with a dog who loves you. That's the kind of happiness Diana has to offer. She has already overcome so much. She's learned to trust again, to enjoy life again, and to share her enormous heart with the people around her. Now there's just one thing missing. A family of her own. A place where she can finally settle in, feel loved, and never have to wonder where she belongs. Come meet Diana. Let her give you one of those famous hugs. Watch her adorable little wiggle as she walks beside you. And don't be surprised if this beautiful brindle lady walks straight into your heart. Diana isn't looking for a perfect home. She's looking for someone to love. ❤️🐾 📍 Friends of Upland Animal Shelter Upland, California 🐾 Animal ID: IEPA-A-19598

OMAR: Plott Hound Mix / Neutered Male / 1 Year Old / 35 lbs Omar is a cheerful, affectionate young boy with a gentle soul and a heart that is remarkably forgiving. After everything he has endured, he still wants nothing more than to be near people, feel safe, and receive the kindness he should have known from the very beginning. Omar sleeps peacefully in his crate, gets along well with other dogs, is not destructive, and enjoys going for walks in the park. He happily shares his bed and space and loves the simple comfort of being close to someone he trusts. There is something incredibly special about a dog who has been hurt by people yet still chooses to love them. Omar and his companion were rescued from a homeless man who subjected them to horrific abuse. They were beaten with sticks, kicked, and screamed at. Tragically, Omar's companion was also seriously stabbed in the back and needed immediate veterinary care. Their rescuer stepped in, took them away from the danger, and rushed her to the veterinarian for treatment. When Omar was rescued, he had every reason to be afraid of people. But instead of becoming bitter, he slowly began to show his true nature: a sweet, loving, trusting boy who simply needed someone to show him that he was finally safe. Omar did not choose the life he was given. He did not deserve the cruelty he experienced. But he still has so much love to give. Now, he is waiting for the person who will give him the life he has always deserved — a safe home, a soft bed, peaceful walks, loving arms, and the security of knowing that he will never be hurt again. Sometimes, the dogs who have suffered the most become the ones who love the deepest. Omar is one of those special dogs. ❤️ If you think you can give OMAR the loving, safe, and forever home he deserves, please contact Reyna: Email: miracledogrescue@gmail.com Phone: 323-383-8883
