If you’re a fan of hound dogs, Forrest might just be your perfect match! This sweet, gentle guy absolutely LOVES his sniff walks-he’s basically a professional scent detective, soaking up all the smells around him. While he can get a little excited and pull on the leash, a little redirection and he’s back on track. When he’s not sniffing his way through life, Forrest is all about cuddles. His soulful eyes and affectionate nature will totally steal your heart.Forrest is food-motivated, so training is a breeze! With a bit of guidance, he’ll have the basics mastered in no time.

In playgroups, Forrest showed he enjoys playtime but likes to do things on his own terms. He’s most comfortable with confident, non-dominant female dogs-but he had a blast with a silly, energetic young male recently too! He’d do best with a tolerant, playful partner who can handle his quirky hound vibes.

If you’re looking for a cuddly, fun-loving dog with a nose for adventure and a heart full of love, Forrest is ready to find his forever home. Come meet him today and let the sniffing and cuddling begin!

Although he is heartworm positive, it is treatable and not contagious. Friends of Wake County Animal Center has provided a $600 sponsorship to help cover the cost of treatment.

If you’re interested in learning more about Forrest, please reach out to our Volunteer Matchmakers at [email protected] with the subject line “Forrest 256750.”

He is up to date on vaccinations, flea/tick, and heartworm prevention, is microchipped, and already neutered. If you have dogs or cats, we recommend slow introductions over time. If you have children in your home, we recommend supervision between animals and children at all times.
