About Deacon

Deacon is a solid black lab mix who brings together the best of both worlds: the loyal Labrador Retriever and the laid-back Basset Hound. With his short legs and sturdy 41-pound frame, he’s fully grown and ready for a home that appreciates character. Deacon is deeply sweet and has a calm, well-behaved way about him. After being found running along the highway, volunteers brought him in, and despite efforts, his original owners never surfaced. Deacon did test positive for heartworm, so he’ll need a few rounds of treatment before he’s fully healthy again. He isn’t house trained yet, but his good-natured temperament and gentle style make him a rewarding project for someone willing to put in the time. This outgoing guy loves his people and has already been neutered and vaccinated. Give Deacon the chance he deserves and you’ll have a loyal sidekick by your side. They are waiting with paws crossed!
