About Foxhound Dogs

Foxhounds are athletic, friendly scent hounds bred for pack hunting. They are social, easygoing, and gentle, with incredible stamina and a keen sense of smell. Their lean, muscular build and musical voice reflect generations of selective breeding for the hunt.

Adopting a Foxhound brings a sweet-natured, social companion into your family. They thrive with other dogs and are gentle with children. Their pack mentality means they prefer company and do best in homes where they are not left alone for long periods.

Local Climate & Pet Care

Winter

42°F to 65°F

Dec – Feb

Houston winters are mild and pleasant, making them the best season for outdoor pet activities. Occasional cold fronts can bring temperatures near freezing, so have a light jacket ready for thin-coated breeds. This is the ideal time for long walks in Memorial Park and Buffalo Bayou trails.

Spring

55°F to 80°F

Mar – May

Spring brings warming temperatures and increasing humidity. Wildflowers bloom along trails and in parks throughout the city. Severe thunderstorms and flooding are common, so check weather forecasts before heading to low-lying areas like the bayou trails.

Summer

75°F to 95°F

Jun – Aug

Houston summers are dangerously hot and humid with heat indexes exceeding 105°F. Limit outdoor exercise to early morning or after sunset, and never leave pets in parked cars. Mosquitoes are at peak levels, making year-round heartworm prevention essential.
