Ham is an affectionate adult male mixed breed, weighing in at a medium size. He is up-to-date on his vaccinations and currently based in Brookville, OH. Ham is friendly and gets along well with both dogs and cats. He’s looking for a loving home with a fenced yard to help him thrive, while he completes his heartworm treatment.

About Ham

Meet Ham, a sweet 4-year-old beagle-basset mix looking for a special forever home. Currently, he’s navigating heartworm treatment, which will be covered by Ohio Basset Hound Rescue. He came from a hoarding situation in St. Louis and is adjusting well, having lived with other dogs and even cats without trouble. Ham is a bit shy and would thrive best in a home with another dog for companionship. He’s up-to-date on vaccinations but will need to wait for his heartworm treatment to be neutered. A secure, fenced-in yard is essential for him. If you're ready to welcome this lovable guy into your life, please fill out the online adoption application. We're especially looking for fosters, foster-to-adopt homes, or those willing to provide a nurturing environment. Please note, we are seeking homes in Ohio and bordering states only.
