About Max

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.

Local Climate & Pet Care

Winter

40°F to 62°F

Dec – Feb

Austin’s mild winters are ideal for Labrador Retrievers. Zilker Park and the Lady Bird Lake hike-and-bike trail provide great exercise. Labs handle the occasional freeze without needing extra layers.

Spring

52°F to 82°F

Mar – May

Labs shed heavily as Austin warms. Wildflower season (March-April) makes trail walks at McKinney Falls beautiful. Keep Labs on leash near Lady Bird Lake due to seasonal blue-green algae warnings.

Summer

72°F to 98°F

Jun – Aug

Austin’s intense heat is dangerous for active Labrador Retrievers. Barton Creek swimming holes are great for cooling off, but walk only before 7 AM. Watch for toxic algae blooms in Lady Bird Lake that are deadly for dogs.

Fall

58°F to 85°F

Sep – Nov

September stays hot in Austin, but by late October Labrador Retrievers can return to full-length hikes at the Barton Creek Greenbelt. Fall evenings at Zilker are ideal for fetching and off-leash play.
