About Babe

Babe is a 10-year-old hound who hasn’t had it easy. She spent years neglected, with barely any food or shelter. Fortunately, someone stepped in and got her into rescue. Despite what she’s been through, Babe remains affectionate—she gives kisses and wants to be right by your side. She’s perfectly content curled up in bed or being your loyal companion on the couch. After going hungry, Babe would rather have her own meals and doesn’t like to share food with other dogs. She prefers a calm, peaceful house where she’s the center of attention—no children, no cats, and no small dogs. She’d thrive as your only dog, soaking up all the love you can give her.
