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

15°F to 42°F

Dec – Feb

Colorado Springs winters bring cold spells and snow, but sunny days often warm quickly at this altitude. The strong UV exposure at 6,035 feet means light-skinned pets may need sun protection even in winter. Garden of the Gods trails are accessible year-round with proper gear.

Spring

28°F to 62°F

Mar – May

Spring weather is unpredictable, with possible snowstorms one day and warm sunshine the next. Carry extra water on hikes as pets dehydrate faster at altitude. Palmer Park and North Cheyenne Canyon Park offer beautiful spring hiking as wildflowers emerge.

Summer

55°F to 88°F

Jun – Aug

Pleasant, dry summers are perfect for mountain trails and outdoor adventures. Watch for afternoon lightning storms and keep pets off exposed ridges during thunderstorms. Carry extra water as the altitude and dry air cause faster dehydration.
