Mindy is genuinely friendly to everyone she meets—humans and dogs alike—and approaches the world nose-first, following irresistible scent trails with the focus only a hound could have. Her leash skills are impressive, though she’s strong and needs a firm hand; squirrels aren't much of a concern, but rabbits and foxes definitely get her attention. She’s smart and eager to learn, and would thrive with a family devoted to continuing her training—especially someone who uses clear commands and patience. While mostly quiet indoors or on her walks, she has that classic hound bay that may surface when she gets too excited. Out and about, Mindy shifts between confidently leading the walk and circling back for affection. She responds well to gentle praise and physical affection, making her an engaging, loyal companion. Mindy needs a home with a secure, at least four-foot physical fence, daily exercise, and regular affection. She is spayed, vaccinated, house trained, and has passed thorough medical and temperament screening. She’s ready for someone to give her the consistency and love she deserves.
