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

22°F to 42°F

Dec – Feb

Cold with ice storms and occasional heavy snow that can make sidewalks treacherous. Protect paws from salt and ice with booties or paw wax, and keep walks brief on the coldest days. Ice storms are more common than in cities further north, creating slippery conditions that require caution.

Spring

40°F to 72°F

Mar – May

Severe thunderstorms and occasional tornado watches are a real concern from March through May. Have a pet-safe shelter plan and ensure your pet is microchipped with current contact information. Between storms, the warming days are wonderful for exploring Forest Park’s trails and open spaces.

Summer

68°F to 92°F

Jun – Aug

Hot and humid conditions with heat indices often exceeding 100°F make summer challenging for outdoor pet activities. Limit exercise to early morning or late evening, and always carry water. The Gateway Arch grounds and Forest Park offer shaded areas, but avoid prolonged sun exposure.
