About Watson

Meet Watson, a gentle soul who, along with his companions Ellie and Finnagen, is ready for a new chapter in life. They arrived together after losing their owner, and now they are looking for a loving home where they can stay as a bonded trio. At almost 8 years old, Watson is part of this sweet family unit, having shared his life with Ellie and raised their son Finnagen. As basset hounds, they're naturally friendly and curious. They may howl to greet you, but they do it with love. Watson has been around young children without any issues and shows curiosity rather than aggression towards cats. Although they might need a little time to adjust to new dogs, there’s no sign of aggression—just a bit of uncertainty that can easily be overcome with patience. These three hounds have already experienced loss, and they truly deserve a home where they can stay together. If you have the space in your heart for not just one, but three loving hounds, you'd be a perfect fit for this wonderful pack. Click apply to start the adoption process.
