Description
Dog Breed: Basset Hound. Adoption Fee: $500. Adorable, soulful Walter is a 9-month-old neutered male basset hound who came into GGBR with his female companion, Maisie, due to the owner's housing issue. He is a healthy dog who has a good temperament, getting along well with people and other dogs. Walter is somewhat reserved, but affectionate. He has discovered dog toys and enjoys playing with them. However, because of his tendency to consume inedible objects, including some plastics, socks and underwear, he requires toys that are not easily destroyed, or swallowed. Because of his history of eating socks, we think that an adult home may be more suitable for Walter than a home with children where toys and articles of clothing might be more accessible. Walter and Maisie enjoy playing together. They can be adopted separately, but would probably appreciate a home with another doggie playmate.

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.
