About Leroy

Meet Leroy! This handsome Basset Hound is about 3 years old and has spent much of his early life on a small farm. Due to his family's current health challenges, they've reached out to SBR to help find him a new home. Leroy thrives in a family that has a fenced yard with space to run and play. He enjoys outdoor adventures and has a lot of energy to expend, making him an ideal companion for an active family. However, he's not great with cats, so a cat-free home would suit him best. Additionally, he hasn’t had exposure to children, suggesting that a household without young kids might be a better match. Once he’s done exploring, Leroy is the ultimate snuggle bug, ready to cozy up inside. If you have room in your heart and home for this lovable goof, he could be the perfect addition to your family.
