About Pickle

Meet Pickle, a shy but loving companion who was found as an unclaimed stray at a local shelter. Believed to be a basset hound mix around three years old, she’s spayed and up to date on vaccinations, although she is currently recovering from a respiratory infection before being made available for adoption. In her foster home, Pickle is beginning to blossom into her happy, affectionate self. Initially overwhelmed at the shelter, she quickly warmed up to the other dogs within 30 minutes and has been playing happily with them ever since. She shows indifference to the family cat, and while her interactions with children are still unknown, she tends to feel more at ease around women. Plus, she’s a great travel buddy! If you’re ready for a gentle companion, Pickle might just be the perfect match for you. Keep an eye out for updates as she continues to settle in and reveal her personality. What are you waiting for?
