About Bloodhounds

The Bloodhound is a large-sized dog with medium energy needs. Those two things — the space it needs and the exercise it expects — matter more day to day than the breed label itself, especially with rescue dogs, where many are crosses.

Shelter breed labels in Australia are usually a visual guess rather than a DNA result, so a dog listed as a Bloodhound may well be a cross. That is worth knowing before you rule a listing in or out: temperament and the individual dog's history tell you far more than the name on the card.

Which rescues have Bloodhounds?

Right now Bloodhounds in Australia are listed by Dogs' Refuge Home. Applications, home checks and adoption decisions are handled by the rescue directly — LocalPetFinder brings the listings together so you do not have to check each rescue separately, and does not take a fee.

Bloodhound adoption in Australia: common questions

How many Bloodhounds are available for adoption in Australia?

As of September 2026, Bloodhounds are uncommon in Australia rescue — only 1 is listed right now across 1 rescue on LocalPetFinder. They are usually adopted quickly, so it is worth applying early or setting an alert. Currently listed by Dogs' Refuge Home.

Where can I adopt a Bloodhound near me in Australia?

LocalPetFinder lists Bloodhounds available for adoption from rescues right across Australia, in New South Wales, Western Australia, Queensland, and Victoria. Right now the rescue listing Bloodhounds is Dogs' Refuge Home. Every listing links straight to the rescue that has the dog, and the application is handled by them, not by us.

Are these Bloodhounds for sale?

Not for sale, for adoption, which is usually the better deal. Every Bloodhound here comes from an Australian rescue rather than a breeder or a classified seller, and the adoption fee already covers desexing, vaccination and microchipping. That fee is typically a few hundred dollars, against often several thousand from a breeder with none of the vet work done. If you searched "bloodhound for sale", adopting gets you a vetted dog for a fraction of the price.
