Lovable Lloyd is a sweet, playful hound. He has never met a stranger and he loves to say hi to all dogs and humans. Lloyd enjoys spending time with his foster family, including a 4 year old, from whom he takes treats very gently. He is crate and house trained. In return for taking him on walks and giving him pets and scratches behind the ear, Lloyd shows affection by snuggling his head into his human's body to say thanks. Lloyd loves to snuggle with people. He looks up at you with those beautiful brown eyes and before you know it you are sweet talking him! He loves to go on adventures and unlike other hounds, squirrels, foxes, and deer don't seem to interest him. Lloyd is quiet and prefers to explore using his nose and not his voice. Lloyd would love another dog with whom to play, but he would also be happy being the center of dog attention in his forever family's home.
We also wanted to share some background on Lloyd: Lloyd came from a small rural shelter that was 1/3 over capacity (room for 22 but they had 30 dogs!) The volunteers at the shelter put out a special plea for him (and his brother Harry and Parker, too), because his time was up. They had kept Lloyd safe for a long time but given the number of dogs the small shelter had, they could no longer keep Lloyd (or Harry or Parker) safe. They were heartbroken that after all this time, his life would end at the shelter. Thankfully we were able to save all three dogs!
