Description
Dog Breed: Basset Hound. Adoption Fee: $500. Beautiful Maisie is an 11-month-old basset hound who was surrendered with her unrelated male companion basset hound. Both dogs have loving dispositiions getting along well with other dogs and with people. Maisie is said to have the more outgoing personality. These two dogs have lived togehter for 6 months and enjoy playing with one another, including frequently doing zoomies. They can be adopted separately, but would probably appreciate a home with a doggie playmate. Maisie is crate trained, but lately she has been vocal when confined to her crate. Like her pal, Walter, Maisie has a tendency to eat foreign objects, particularly articles of clothing, such as socks. Her ideal home will be one in which articles of clothing, towels, dishcloths, etc, will not be within her reach. For that reason, we think that an adult home might be more suitable for Maisie than a home with children, where toys and other "edibles" might be more likely to be accessible.

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.
