About Kurt
Kurt is a senior hound in Ashland, VA, weighing in at about 47 lbs with a classic tricolor coat. At around 8 to 9 years old, Kurt has plenty of life experience and his easygoing nature stands out immediately. He’s most at home curled up with dogs or people (he doesn’t discriminate—snuggles are for everyone). Napping on a soft bed is a close second. Kurt's vision and hearing are both failing him, so he bumps into things and sometimes doesn’t hear you coming, but his nose is as sharp as ever. That means he’ll follow a scent trail and sometimes pull on leash—very much a hound thing. Kurt does best with calm companions, both human and canine. Hyper or rough dogs are not his style. He’s just looking for a peaceful home where he can relax. He’s mostly house trained but does need to go out more frequently than a younger dog, especially since holding it all day or night isn’t realistic for him at this age. Homes where someone is around most of the time, or those with easy outdoor access, would fit him best. He’s neutered, up to date on Rabies, Distemper, and Bordetella vaccines, heartworm negative, and kept current on preventives. Kurt gets along well with other dogs and children and will bring nothing but warmth, calm, and affection to the right home. Start your journey together! Apply now.

Kurt, as a hound, benefits from outdoor time to sniff and meander, but because of his age and sensory issues, a secure backyard or frequent walks on-leash will meet his needs.

Hounds generally do well with children, and Kurt specifically gets along with kids, as long as interactions remain calm and gentle.
