Hello! My name is Chowder, I am an 18 month old basset hound. I love snuggling on the couch with my foster parents but I also love exploring the backyard with my doggie friends! I get along with dogs large and small.

I also like sleeping in my crate through the night and when my foster parents are out. I am potty-trained and crate trained. I do enjoy eating my meals by myself away from my doggie friends because I was a stray for a long time.

I’ve met my 3 year old neighbor and did really well with him, I didn’t mind him petting me and I didn’t jump on him either! 

If you’d like to meet me, fill out an application!
