Say hello to Allie and Gwen, two lovely Basset Hound ladies looking for a patient and understanding home where they can settle in and enjoy the good life together. These girls have their own little personalities. Gwen is the more confident and sociable of the two, while Allie can be a little more reserved and is still learning that the world isn't such a scary place. With time, patience and kindness, Allie has shown lovely improvements in her confidence and willingness to socialise. Both girls can be timid around new people, particularly men, and may be a little flighty if approached too quickly or if there are sudden movements. They will happily take treats, but building trust and allowing them to approach in their own time is the best way to win them over. They are quite independent ladies who enjoy spending time outdoors and would love a home where they have access to a secure outdoor area. They can come inside, but they feel most comfortable having the freedom to choose where they'd like to relax. They have also shown they're happy to head out for walks, although their noses can sometimes lead the way! As typical Basset Hounds, they love having plenty of interesting smells to investigate. They aren't particularly interested in toys and may occasionally find other things to chew, so a little supervision and suitable enrichment will help keep them happy. Allie and Gwen are affectionate girls once they feel comfortable and will need a family who understands that trust takes time. A calm, patient home with someone experienced with dogs and willing to let them settle at their own pace would be ideal. If you have room in your heart and home for two gorgeous Basset Hound ladies, Allie and Gwen could be the pair for you! Love, Allie & Gwen x Dear Customer, please note a property check may be required before adoption to ensure the safety and welfare of our animals. Rental agreements allowing pets will be required for adoptions into rental properties.
If Gwen & Allie isn't quite the right fit, these dogs are close matches.
