This 2 year old houndie is a bundle of energy and playfulness. He spent the first part of his life chained in the back yard and now he is making up for lost time.  He is smart, inquisitive (tilts his head when he is curious), loves to play with other dogs, enjoys playing with toys,  is housetrained, craves human affection, and is healthy. This houndie, who likely will top out at 65 pounds, is ready to go to his forever family. 

This is what Grady needs in his new family: 

Another young dog who plays at his level of energy and enthusiasm
An adopter who is home more often than not
A basset experienced owner who has the basset knowledge and patience this boy requires.
