Description

Dog Breed: Basset Hound / Mixed (short coat). Adoption Fee: $685. To apply to adopt this dog now, complete our adoption application HERE To see our upcoming events where you can meet some of our dogs, please see HERE Age: 4 years (as of 1/15/26) Weight: 61 lbs (as of 3/25/26) This dog has been spayed/neutered, is up to date on shots, on heartworm preventative and is microchipped. Meet Marigold, a sweet and gentle soul looking for a forever home. Her friendly and playful nature makes her a joy to be around. While she enjoys the company of other dogs, Marigold has a special preference for human companionship, making her the perfect homebody. She loves spending quality time with people, whether it's playing in the yard or relaxing by your side. She is cool around cats and friendly with kids. Marigold is house trained and is crate trained where she prefers plastic crates over wire metal ones. She can be nervous on excursions, so she would likely prefer to be more of a stay-at-home than off-property dog. If you're looking for a loyal and loving friend, Marigold is the ideal candidate. Her gentle disposition and affectionate personality make her the perfect addition to any family. Medical Note: This dog is being treated/has been treated for heartworm disease. Untreated heartworm disease can cause lasting damage to the heart, lungs and arteries, and can affect the dog’s health and quality of life even after the parasites are gone, possibly presenting as medical complications and/or new conditions in the future. Whenever possible, SOSARL advocates for following the American Heartworm Society guidelines for heartworm disease treatment as the safest and most effective methods; the active portion of this treatment protocol can take up to four months to complete. Once treatment is completed and the dog tests negative for microfilaria, the dog will be cleared to resume normal activity and will be ready to travel north and be placed into an adoptive home. This dog showed no symptoms of heartworm disease before or during treatment, and is expected to complete treatment with no complications. Please ask your Adoption Counselor for the specific treatment protocol used for and current status of this dog. Please check with your vet if you have any questions or concerns about this medical history. An adoption donation is required for each adoption; please see HERE for more information about this.

We get to know each of our dogs as an individual and do our best to describe and place them based on personality not breed label.
