Learn more about the Basset Hound.
Nellie is an approximately 6 year old female tricolor basset hound who spent much of her life with an owner who had many dogs. She settled easily into her foster home and gets along well with the other basset in the home. She loves the attention of her foster parents and is a 'snuggler.' Nellie has a sweet disposition and may do well in a home with older children. She is playful for her age and very cooperative with being bathed and having her ears cleaned. She is housetrained and sleeps at night on the couch, or in a dog bed. She would happily sleep on the bed with her humans, but, for reasons of safety, her foster family prefers that Nellie not jump up and down off the bed. Nellie does like to show her excitement and affection by jumping on people, and she is long and strong, which might make her not particularly suited to a home with small children, or the elderly. Older children, or adults who are steady on their feet would be better matches for her. She is an accomplished counter surfer, too. So far, Nellie does not seem to bark very much. Nellie's home should have a secure yard, or fenced patio. She is playful and enjoys the companionship of another dog, but could also be happy as a spoiled only dog with an owner who is home a lot. Health-wise, Nellie has recently been spayed and had her teeth cleaned with a few extractions. She has "cherry eye" in her right eye, but it doesn't seem to bother her, so removing the cherry eye was not a high priority procedure. It's something that may be considered at a later date. Nellie is a sweet dog, who would fit into almost any home. More about NellieGood with Dogs Other Pictures of Nellie (click to see larger version):
