Adopt a Hound in Utah

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.

Utah's rescue dog community is active across Salt Lake City, Provo, and Ogden. The state is home to Best Friends Animal Sanctuary, one of the country's largest no-kill organizations. A rescued Utah dog often comes from one of the state's well-resourced rescue networks.
