Description
Dog Breed: Bloodhound (short coat). "My Home to Yours" Here is Bo, whose caregivers found him as a stray at the Smith Mountain Lake Dam in a neighboring county. When he stayed around for a few days in the area, they broke down and took him to their home to keep him safe. Bo has seen their family vet and is nice and healthy now, and has made himself right at home. He fits in well with their other dogs, but they feel he outsizes them and really want to find him a home where he can use those long legs and BIG VOICE more freely! Five years old, 85 pounds, gentle! Send us an application and we will forward it to the family! We have had numerous requests from citizens in our county to help them rehome their pets, but they are willing to keep them in the home until it happens, rather than bring them to the overflowing shelter at Campbell County Animal Control near Yellow Branch. We are listing those cats and dogs on our website as "My Home to Yours." We ask that interested adopters fill out the FOAC application, and we will pass it along to the family wanting to rehome. We cannot guarantee health, temperament, or behavior for these pets, as we have not met them. However, we are happy to act as a resource for issues that may arise. **For pets not spayed or neutered, we are happy to help set that up!

Overview:
The Bloodhound is an ancient and noble breed, primarily known for its exceptional sense of smell, believed to be the keenest of any dog. Originating in medieval France and developed by monks, they were initially used for tracking deer and other game. Physically, they are large, powerful dogs with characteristic loose skin, deep wrinkles, and long, drooping ears that help funnel scents. Their temperament is generally gentle, patient, and good-natured, making them surprisingly suitable for families with children, though their size and tracking instincts require supervision. While their calm demeanor might suggest apartment living is possible, their need for significant outdoor exercise and a secure yard to prevent them from following a scent trail makes them better suited to homes with space. Health-wise, they can be prone to hip and elbow dysplasia, as well as bloat, making careful breeding and proper diet crucial. Their distinctive appearance and unparalleled tracking ability make them a truly unique and beloved companion.
