Story
Beethoven is ready for his second chance at life! This 9-year-old classic Basset was rescued from unsafe living conditions and is now looking for a loving home. Shy and submissive with new people, he quickly bonds with other dogs and is adjusting well to his foster home. Fully house-trained and familiar with a dog door, he’s a well-mannered companion.Loud noises startle him, so he’d do best in a quiet home, away from busy city living, with a fenced yard where he can roam and relax. Despite his age, he enjoys walks and stays active. Mellow, laid-back, and sweet, Beethoven is a gentle soul ready to find his forever family.Contact BROOD today to meet him! His adoption fee is $200.00.**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 BROOD dogs is an estimate, as very few come with exact age records.  02/06/2025

Meet Charlotte! This sweet, easygoing 8-year-old black Basset/Lab mix is the perfect low-maintenance companion. She is house-trained, crate-trained, and as quiet as can be. Whether going for a walk, enjoying a car ride, or curling up at your feet, she’s happy as long as she’s with you. Charlotte gets along well with other dogs but would also thrive as the only pup. She is friendly, gentle, and well-behaved, making fast friends with everyone she meets—including children. If you’re looking for a loving and easygoing companion, Charlotte is the one for you! Contact BROOD today to meet her. Her adoption fee is $150.00. **Only BROOD-approved adopters can meet a dog (no exceptions).

Story
Hi there, I'm Danica! I'm young, playful, and full of energy. My days are filled with fun and games, and I can't wait to share them with you. I'm a bit of a comedian too, always ready to make you laugh with my silly antics. I'm not a fan of cats, but I adore older kids who can keep up with my playfulness. I promise to bring joy, laughter, and a whole lot of love into your life. So, why should you adopt me? Because every day with me will be an adventure filled with fun, love, and lots of laughs.

Story
My name Indy for short. I have an adventurous streak and love exploring the world! I’m a 5-year-old Basset mix found as a stray. When I first came to BROOD, I had a heartworm infection, but after treatment, I’m now healthy, happy, and ready for an active life!Now that I’m feeling great, I absolutely love going on walks! I do get a bit excited and tend to pull, but I’m working on my leash manners every day. I’m working on my house training so I’ll need a patient family to help me fully master this skill.True to my hound roots, I’m quite vocal and enjoy sharing my thoughts—whether it’s about my day, spotting a deer, or letting you know it’s mealtime. A home with a fenced yard would be ideal for me, as I love roaming, sniffing, and soaking up the outdoors. I would not do well in an apartment or condo. I’m a people-lover and make friends with everyone I meet, including kids who stop for a quick pet on my walks. I get along with other dogs but would be ok by myself. I enjoy playing with toys, especially a Kong stuffed with snacks, and I’m always up for learning new tricks if there are treats involved. I already know commands like “sit,” “down,” and “kennel.”If you’re looking for a loyal, adventurous, and sweet companion, I’m your guy! Contact BROOD today to start our adventures together. My adoption fee is $250.00.**Only BROOD-approved adopters can meet a dog (no exceptions). Our adoption application is on the BROOD website at https://brood-va.org/adoptionapp/.

Story
I’m Zoey, a sweet and snuggly 10-month-old Basset mix who is looking for my forever family. I came to BROOD after my previous family adopted me from an animal shelter and soon realized I had too much energy for them. I am full of curiosity and love learning new things. I am friendly and energetic and quite agile for a small hound--I weigh only 38 pounds. I would do well in a home with someone that likes to walk and who will play with me. I am crate trained and keep my kennel dry overnight, too.It doesn’t take me long to bond with my people—I love being close to my family, and I thrive on attention. That’s why I need to be the only dog in the home--I want all the cuddles and affection for myself! I also don’t get along with cats and will happily chase them around, so a cat-free home is best for me. I love playing with toys and can often entertain myself with play. While I may still be discovering my personality, one thing is for sure: I’m great with kids and love spending time with them. Due to my energy level and tendency to jump up, I would be best in a home with older children. Whether we are playing or cuddling, I am always ready for fun.BROOD is short of foster homes right now and I am still in boarding at BROOD’s veterinarian. I would love a foster home or how about a foster-to-adopt home? Contact BROOD at foster@brood-va.org if you want to foster me!If you’re ready to add some extra love and companionship to your life, I would love to meet you! Contact BROOD today to start our journey together. My adoption fee is $100.00.**Only BROOD-approved adopters can meet a dog (no exceptions).
