Description
Dog Breed: Basset Hound. Adoption Fee: $450. Six-year-old Mosho is a friendly, happy boy. He arrived with his pal, Cleo, but they can be adopted separately. They came from a home with children. Because Mosho tends to jump on people, which could frighten, or knock over a very young child, Mosho is recommended for older children, or adults. Mosho is an adept and determined counter-surfer, which his foster home is working on! Mosho gets along well with other dogs, but he seems to prefer dogs of his size, or larger. He does not seem to like small dogs. Mosho tends to guard high-value food and treats, such as bones, from other dogs, but, supposedly, he is not particularly possessive of his regular food, and his owner reported no guarding behavior with humans. Mosho is potty-trained and is up to date on vaccinations and heartworm prevention. He has a dental appointment in early April. Mosho would be great with older kids or an older couple. He would be fine in a home with a doggie playmate of his size, or larger, or as an only dog.

Overview:
The Basset Hound is a charming and distinctive breed, originating in France as a scent hound primarily used for hunting hare and rabbit. Easily recognized by their long, droopy ears, sad-looking eyes, and short, sturdy legs, they possess an incredibly powerful sense of smell. Despite their somewhat mournful expression, Bassets are known for their gentle, laid-back, and affectionate temperament, making them wonderful companions for families. They are generally good with children and other pets, though their stubborn streak and loud baying bark require consistent training. While they can adapt to apartment living with sufficient daily exercise, their tendency to follow their nose means a secure yard is essential. Potential owners should be aware of common health concerns such as ear infections due to their long ears, back issues, and bloat. Overall, the Basset Hound is a loyal and loving, if sometimes comically determined, addition to many homes.
