About Everest

Everest is about a year and a half old and looks like a mix of Basset and perhaps Beagle, sitting at a solid medium size of around 32 lbs. He arrived with three other dogs as strays, abandoned and left to fend for themselves. At first, Everest tends to be shy and uncertain, but give him a little time and he brightens up—he gets playful, starts to seek out attention, and enjoys affection from those he trusts. He mixes well with other dogs and seems like the type that would thrive in a household with kids. Everest doesn’t ask for much: a kind family with the patience to let him settle in and feel safe.
