About Tad

BROOD adopts to applicants living in VA, WV, MD, PA, DE and DC. I am a gentle old soul named Tad. I am a 10 year old classic Basset and have the extra long ears to prove it. I was found as a stray so not much is know about my past but I am looking forward to finding the right, loving, and patient forever family to allow me to enjoy the golden years of life. I am housetrained but need frequent potty breaks to avoid embarrassing accidents. I am crate trained too. My foster home has a doggie door and I try my best to use it. But these old legs of mine are a little stiff sometimes and can make it tough to gracefully go in and out through the door. My foster mom will coax me through the door with the offer of a tasty treat of hot dogs. Steps are a little challenging for me too so a home with minimal steps would be best for me. I'm content to sleep the day away, but sometimes my foster mom wants to go on a 'walk'. No idea why when there are comfy beds for snoozing, but I do my best to keep her company as I amble along behind her. I love to make new friends and always wagging my tail when there is someone new to meet. If you like naps as much as I do, please contact BROOD today!!! I'll even let you share my dog bed so we can snuggle for a long winter nap! My adoption fee is $200. **Only BROOD approved adopters can meet a dog. The adoption application is on the BROOD website. We require a home visit and a veterinary reference. The age of many BROOD dogs is unknown, as very few come with official records. The estimate on the dog's age is usually the initial estimate given by the receiving shelter, which may be different from that given at the time of the initial checkup. Different veterinarians may also give different ages, and those different opinions are sometimes reflected on the record. ***BROOD's adoption fees are determined based on age of the dog 1/12/2019
