Chloe is a 2 1/2 year old spayed female basset  who is said to have good temperament and gets along with dogs her size or larger, unless there is food involved. She needs to eat separately from other dogs, including treats. She does not exhibit food guarding with people, only dogs. Her family surrendered her because they have a ranch and Chloe killed the free range chickens. Therefore, she is not recommended for a home with chickens, cats, or other small animals. The family had older children and Chloe is reported to have gotten along well with children of that age, but she is not comfortable around young children. Chloe is fearful of men.

With people she trusts, Chloe is affectionate and loves hanging out with them on the sofa, or bed. She is quiet, but will bark at passersby, or if someone comes to the door. She is housetrained and crate trained.

Chloe has a malformation in her left hind leg which doesn't seem to be painful to her, but might have something to do with Chloe's dislike for walks! Unlike most dogs, Chloe does not particularly enjoy walking, although she is starting to appreciate them more, while in her foster home. Chloe is a confirmed homebody, so she would not be a good choice for someone who wants a hiking partner.

Chloe's ideal home would be one where she is the only dog, she is mostly around women, or older children, and where she is not required to go for walks. Can you offer Chloe the home she is looking for?
