Meet Highland! This 4-year-old Basset Hound mix is a sweet, slightly goofy, and affectionate soul with a gentle heart. Highland is looking for a calm and patient home where he can truly thrive. Though he can be a bit nervous at times, especially in new situations, he warms up beautifully with kindness and encouragement—and once he trusts you, he’s incredibly loving and loyal. Highland walks well on a leash, rides great in the car, and knows basic commands like “sit” and “wait.” He’s eager to please and picks up new things quickly, including mastering stairs! He’s been friendly and gentle when meeting people of all ages, including small children, and has done well with men—he even adored one of our male volunteers' husbands. While he was unsure about a large picture of a cat, we’re not yet certain how he feels about real cats. This sensitive boy would do best in a quieter home, ideally without young children, though older kids and adults are perfectly fine. He thrives on gentle affection, loves to snuggle, and will happily soak up all the pets and treats you can offer. Highland is not just a loyal companion—he’s a fun-loving pup who’s sure to bring warmth and smiles to the right home. Highland currently weighs about 53lbs., is approximately 4 years/months old (est. birth date 11/22/2020), and his adoption fee is $315. Highland has been neutered/spayed, is up to date on all vaccinations & preventatives, and is microchipped.
