About Zeava

Zeava is a friendly, affectionate, and loving dog with plenty of adorableness to go around! As a hound dog mix, she loves to take long walks to take in all the smells of her environment. Her nose leads the way! In the quiet moments, she will snuggle close, laying her head in your lap and rolling over for belly rubs. She would do best in a home with no other pets, but has plenty of love to share with her new family. Her squatty legs and sweet personality will make you fall in love! Zeava is 47 lbs, 3 years and 6 months old, spayed, finishing up her vaccinations, and is microchipped. Her adoption fee is $300. As a career change dog at Medical Mutts Service Dogs, he comes with 2 free training sessions.

About Basset Hound Dogs

Basset Hounds are charming, low-slung hounds with droopy ears, soulful eyes, and a wonderfully relaxed approach to life. Their calm, patient demeanor and gentle nature make them easygoing family companions. Despite their couch-potato reputation, they have a keen nose and enjoy leisurely sniff-walks.

Adopting a Basset Hound means gaining a mellow, affectionate friend who's content with moderate activity and plenty of snuggle time. They're excellent with children and other pets, and their calm temperament makes them ideal for families seeking a laid-back companion.
