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.
