Adopt a Hound in Florida

Hound mixes vary widely — from baying scent hounds to sleek sighthounds — but most share an easygoing, sociable temperament. They appear in Southern shelters in particularly large numbers. A rescued hound mix is typically calm at home and joyful outside.

Florida's rescue dog population is substantial, with many organizations serving the state's urban and suburban communities. South Florida, Tampa Bay, and Orlando are major hubs for pet rescue and adoption.
