Huck, The Full Blood Bloodhound Just Arrived At The Shelter

If you have a thing for petting long, soft dogs' ears then we have the perfect pet for you to adopt or stop by the Humane Society's Pets Fur People in Tyler, Texas, and visit Huck to simply pet his ears!

Once you stop by and pet those long and soft 100% full-blooded Bloodhound ears, you'll be wanting to adopt Huck.

Huck is a three-year-old guy who fits every description of a Bloodhound, he's big and he's got a pretty loud and deep bark to him.

Gayle Helms, Pets Fur People's executive director describes Huck as a 'gentle giant'. This big guy enjoys the companionship of other dogs, he's leashed-trained and partially house-trained.

Huck has been raised as an inside pet, so he'll need to continue to be an inside guy. He knows some basic commands and plays well with older children. Above all, Huck is just a huge ole couch potato.
