About Priscilla

Priscilla is a compact, lemon and white hound who landed at the Tehama Animal Shelter in Red Bluff several weeks back and now resides in Oakland, CA. At just 48 lbs, she's on the petite side for a hound and has the look and spirit of a beagle’s close relative. She’s three and a half, has been fully vetted, spayed, and is up to date on all vaccinations. Priscilla is confident with new people and enjoys romping with other dogs. Her sunny temperament makes her a natural fit for families with dog-savvy children, and she thrives around people who understand hounds or have been beagle owners before. She’s house trained and happiest where she can get outdoor exercise—think parks, trails, or a lively yard. Priscilla enjoys having a routine and needs a guardian who can provide guidance, boundaries, and the occasional adventure. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
