My name is Swilley!

Meet Swilley, a 7-month-old hound mix who came up from Alabama looking for his new family! This sweet, easy-going pup has done great with dogs and kids in his previous shelter, and he has that gentle, lovable nature that makes him a joy to be around. True to his hound roots, Swilley's got a curious nose and loves to explore, but he's also just as happy snuggling up when the day is done.

Swilley is still young, so he'll do best with a family that's excited to help him learn the ropes. Whether it's training sessions or casual walks around the neighborhood, he's eager to follow your lead and soak up all the new experiences. And with his friendly, adaptable personality, he's a good fit for almost any active household.

Since we don't know how he'll do with cats, Swilley's ideal family will be focused on giving him a stable, loving environment while he settles in. If you're looking for a loyal companion with plenty of charm, Swilley could be the perfect match.
