Adopt a Hound in Texas

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.

Texas has a large number of rescue dogs available for adoption, particularly in major cities like Houston, Dallas, Austin, and San Antonio. The state's rural areas also have active rescue networks that transport dogs to urban areas for better adoption chances.
