About Hound Dogs

Hound dogs encompass a large group of breeds originally developed for hunting, using either their keen sense of smell (scent hounds) or sharp eyesight (sighthounds). They share common traits including friendly temperaments, loyalty, and a love of outdoor exploration. Hound mixes are some of the most common and rewarding shelter dogs.

Adopting a Hound means bringing home a gentle, often easygoing companion who appreciates a good walk and quality time with their family. Many hounds are vocal and expressive, and their loyalty runs deep. They make wonderful family pets for those who enjoy their distinctive personalities.

Mild winters with occasional ice storms that can make trails and sidewalks hazardous for a few days. Most winter days are comfortable for regular walks along the Campion Trail. Keep paw wax handy for icy mornings and have indoor enrichment options ready for storm days.

Spring

48°F to 80°F

Mar – May

Pleasant temperatures make the Campion Trail system ideal for long walks and outdoor training with your pet. Severe thunderstorm and tornado risk is elevated, so keep a pet emergency plan in place and monitor weather alerts. The Trinity River corridor is lush and green during spring.

Summer

Dangerous heat requires limiting outdoor activity to early morning and late evening. The Campion Trail’s tree canopy provides some shade, but pavement sections still get hot. Always carry water and watch for signs of heat exhaustion in your pet during summer walks.
