They’re loyal and affectionate companions who often form deep bonds with their people. While they can be playful and energetic, they also enjoy relaxed downtime. A secure yard is a must—these pups love to follow their noses. Hound lovers know: their unique charm and soulful eyes are irresistible. Henry’s Story & Personality: Henry came into rescue after being severely neglected, and he’s made incredible progress. He was shy at first, but now that he’s learned people can be kind, he’s blossoming into a goofy, affectionate pup who loves to play. He’s still building confidence, especially around food, but has come a long way from those early, uncertain days. His foster says: "Henry is a very playful hound. He is a love mush but needs to be exercised. A little tense around food after being starved but has done so much better than when he first arrived." Henry would thrive in a home with a dog buddy, a secure yard, and people who understand hound behavior. He’s not high-maintenance—just needs routine, affection, and space to sniff and play. Henry’s Perfect Home: A fenced yard (hound noses can lead them astray!) A friendly resident dog to play and bond with A calm, patient home that lets him warm up at his own pace Someone familiar with or eager to learn about hound traits A family who wants a loyal, gentle, and sometimes goofy companion Ready to Make Henry Yours? Henry is neutered, up-to-date on vaccines, and ready to become someone’s loyal best friend. If you’re looking for a loving companion with a soulful heart and playful spark, Henry is your guy.

Breed overview

Overview:
A mongrel, mutt, or mixed-breed dog, is a dog that is not the result of breeding within an existing breed or to modify or create a breed and belongs to no breed. In the United States, the term "mixed-breed" is a favored synonym over "mongrel" among many who wish to avoid negative connotations associated with the latter term. The implication that such dogs must be a mix of defined breeds may stem from an inverted understanding of the origins of dog breeds. Pure breeds have been, for the most part, artificially created from random-bred populations by human selective breeding with the purpose of enhancing desired physical, behavioral, or temperamental characteristics. Dogs that are not purebred are not necessarily a mix of such defined breeds. Therefore, among experts and fans of such dogs, "Mongrel" is still the preferred term.
