Adopt Me Today!

Adopt Worley Today
Hound • 1 year 4 months • Female
Spayed/Neutered • Vaccinated • Microchipped
Good with Dogs

Meet Worley, the sunshine‑sweet hound who’s ready to turn your life into an adventure. This beautiful girl made her way to us from an overcrowded shelter in North Carolina, and she hasn’t stopped smiling since she arrived.

Worley is just under 50 pounds of pure happy energy — playful, social, and always excited to meet new friends (human or canine). If there’s fun to be had, she’s in. If there’s another dog around, she’s ready to play. And if you know hounds, you already know her superpower: that adorable nose leading her on little sniff‑quests everywhere she goes.

She’s young, bright, and full of love, looking for a family who will enjoy her curiosity, her wiggles, and her joyful spirit.

If you’re searching for a sweet, goofy, lovable companion who will make every day feel a little more fun, Worley is waiting to meet you.
