ADOPTION PENDING

If you're looking for a smaller dog with a fantastic disposition, then you should meet Rory, a 14-month old Basset Hound mix. He only stands about 14 inches tall, but he's got a big personality.

Rory is incredibly sweet and lovable - his tail rarely stops wagging! He is currently living in a foster home with other dogs, kids and cats, and he gets along well with everyone. He is very playful and enjoys roughhousing with other dogs, and he even offers to play with the cats, too (they decline). After his play sessions, he plops down and chews on a toy, usually with his legs stretched straight out behind him!

Rory is currently learning how to walk properly on a leash, and he is also working on his house manners. Sometimes he greets people a little too exuberantly (by jumping on them), and during playtime he likes to use the couch as a springboard when he races around the house. But he is quickly settling in and learning the rules. Rory is crate-trained and sleeps quietly in his crate overnight and during daytime naps.

Before Rory was rescued by HSMC, he was kept in a pen all of the time with his brother and did not receive much human attention, although you would never know it based on how comfortable and friendly he is around people. He deserves a great home with someone who will take the time to interact and play with him. Rory was born in June of 2009.
