Pitch is an adorable 8-month-old bloodhound mix with a heart full of love and a nose for adventure. This sweet pup is looking for a forever home where he can grow, learn, and share all the cuddles he's got to offer.

About Pitch:

    
Temperament: Friendly, curious, and eager to please. Pitch loves exploring new scents and enjoys playtime as much as snuggling up for a nap. Very cuddly.
 
Training: As a young pup, Pitch is still learning the ropes but is quick to pick up on commands and is eager to please. With a bit of patience and consistency, he'll be a well-behaved companion in no time.

Great with Other Pets: Pitch gets along well with other dogs and would love a furry sibling to play with.

Active and Playful: He has plenty of puppy energy and would thrive in an active home where he can get regular exercise and mental stimulation. But he also loves his naps!! 

Fun fact: Pitch loves playing in water at the lake in the dog park! He is even learning to swim!

Special Note:

Bloodhounds are prone to gastric dilatation-volvulus (GDV), a serious condition. To prevent this, we perform Gastropexy on all our bloodhounds.

Without this preventative surgery, owners could face costly emergency procedures or euthanasia. Please read up on GDV to understand the importance of this measure.
