My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

I’m Lenny, a laid-back, lovable Basset Hound around 6 years old, looking for my forever home. I was found as a stray, so my past is a bit of a mystery, but it’s clear I enjoyed some good meals along the way! I do have a few extra pounds, so my new family will need to help me stay on track with my fitness and health.

I’m house-trained, crate-trained, and a quiet guy who enjoys watching the world go by. I love people of all ages and get along well with other dogs, though I’m at the point in life where I’m happy with short play sessions before settling down for a nap. My foster family says I enjoy hanging out with their dogs but would also be perfectly content as an only dog.

Since I’m not a high-energy pup, I don’t need a fenced yard and would be just as happy in a cozy apartment or condo. I like taking leisurely strolls around the yard and going on the occasional short walk, but marathons aren’t my thing! Car rides are one of my favorite pastimes, and I’m happiest just being wherever my family is.

I’m a sweet, mellow guy who would be a wonderful addition to any family. If you’re looking for a loving companion who’s easygoing and adores naps, I’m your match! Contact BROOD today to start our journey together. My adoption fee is $300.00.

**Only BROOD-approved adopters can meet a dog (no exceptions). Our adoption application is on the BROOD website at https://brood-va.org/adoptionapp/. We adopt to residents of Virginia, Maryland, West Virginia, DC, Delaware, and southern Pennsylvania. Do not apply to adopt from BROOD if you live in another state. We require a virtual home visit and a veterinary reference.

The age of many BROOD dogs is unknown, as very few come with official records. The estimate on the dog’s age is usually the initial estimate given by the receiving shelter, which may be different from that given at the time of the initial checkup. Different veterinarians may also give different ages, and those different opinions are sometimes reflected on the record. ***BROOD’s adoption fees are determined based on the age of the dog. 11/1/2024
