About Crumbs

Lets make it official, apply to adopt! Crumbs may have a grumpy exterior, but deep down, he's a character with plenty of personality. He likes things on his own terms and prefers a world where he calls the shots. Crumbs does well on a leash, enjoys car rides, skillfully uses the doggie door, and is generally housebroken—though, in classic Crumbs fashion, he may leave a little mess inside now and then if he’s feeling cheeky. With other dogs, Crumbs is an agreeable companion, but he should not live with cats. His feelings about his favorite couch or bed run deep, and trying to make him move could be met with a warning snap. If he sneaks off with a forbidden item, he might respond the same way. However, his loyalty knows no bounds: Crumbs will follow you everywhere and always be ready to play. This basset hound is searching for a patient, loving adopter who values loyalty but also appreciates a dog who thrives on personal space and respect. Are you the one who can offer this unique boy the understanding and companionship he deserves? Give them the home they have been waiting for. Apply today.
