Hound mixes are known for their curiosity, gentle nature, and strong sense of smell. They’re loyal and affectionate companions who often form deep bonds with their people. While they can be playful and energetic, they also enjoy relaxed downtime. A secure yard is a must—these pups love to follow their noses. Hound lovers know: their unique charm and soulful eyes are irresistible.
Henry came into rescue after being severely neglected, and he’s made incredible progress. He was shy at first, but now that he’s learned people can be kind, he’s blossoming into a goofy, affectionate pup who loves to play. He’s still building confidence, especially around food, but has come a long way from those early, uncertain days.
His foster says:
"Henry is a very playful hound. He is a love mush but needs to be exercised. A little tense around food after being starved but has done so much better than when he first arrived."
Henry would thrive in a home with a dog buddy, a secure yard, and people who understand hound behavior. He’s not high-maintenance—just needs routine, affection, and space to sniff and play.
