Description
Dog Breed: Bloodhound. Rufus is almost 2 years old and was previously an outside dog raised with his brother Waylon He is a gorgeous full blooded Bloodhound that had 10 acres to run free, but the owners are moving to a place that was not going to even have a yard to play and run in so they were surrendered to our rescue! Upon initial exam, Rufus and Waylon both had pretty bad upper respiratory infections and it became very clear they needed Entripion surgery to correct it as it can be very painful if left untreated! He went in for surgery on 11/28/2025 and after recovery and a round of Doxycycline, this handsome fella is recovered and would love to be your outside companion!

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.
