Basset Hound Dogs For Adoption in Charleston, SC, USA

Posted Breed: Basset Hound (short coat). Morty is an enigma, wrapped in a riddle, wrapped in bacon. He’s a good boy at heart, his intentions are noble. But… I’m guessing he didn&rsq

uo;t get properly socialized the first 3+ years of his life, and is a bit on the insecure side now that he finds himself looking for a place to call home again. I kind of think Morty wants to have a dog to pal around with if/when you’re not at home. We’re all still learning. But bless his heart, he doesn’t make friends that easily. I think the scientific term is “warms slowly”. He WILL make friends, but unfortunately it may take a day or two. So if you’ve got the time, he can likely be a small pack member, and he will likely be fine as an only dog, that’s what he was for 3 years. But for this go around, we want him to be a more actively involved member of the family. He was a bit tentative and unsure when he came to my house for the first couple of days - his world had been turned upside down. But after a couple days, he and a little 14 pound nutty terrier mix now get along just fine. She’s a bit of a dog whisperer, and very agile (see attached video). Morty is a striking, beautiful dog. He is currently house trained, but he also has the use of a doggy door. He can run, he can walk, he’s young (three going on four), he can be as active as you like, and he can lounge around as much as you like. He has the unparalleled ability to NOT get out of your way even more so than the average basset. It’s all about them, after all… right? He has little desire to obey commands… what else could you possibly ask for in a basset?. There will be an adjustment when he finds his forever home, but he’s so worth it. Hopefully he will continue to build confidence as he hangs out with foster dad and his little four legged friend, and goes various places and interacts a little more. Call and ask about Morty today. 02/22/17 To apply online or to see other available basset hounds, go to www.cbhr.com.

  1. Do your research - find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
  2. Decide what you can handle - before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you're about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don't have time for potty training and obedience classes you'll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
  3. Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies - It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don't be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet
  4. Start looking… - Once you know what you're looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
  5. Meet in person. - Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can't get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
