IVANHOE KY - BEAGLE / MIXED (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Beagle / Mixed (short coat). Meet Ivanhoe — A Gentle Soul with a Loyal Heart Ivanhoe, affectionately known as “Ivan” to those lucky enough to be in his circle, is a short-legged senior Beagle with a heart full of love and a story that deserves a happy ending. At around 14 years young, Ivan is living in a foster home and patiently waiting for the calm, caring forever family he’s always dreamed of. This sweet gentleman is house trained, crate trained, and neutered — a true pro at the basics. He’ll happily nap in his crate when he needs quiet time, and he’s known to snuggle up in bed for cozy nights. His favorite things include belly rubs, slow chin scratches, and peaceful walks (just be sure his collar or harness is secure — he’s a sneaky little escape artist!). Ivan’s journey hasn’t been without challenges. After spending time with an elderly adopter who loved him dearly, he returned to rescue when her health declined. Unfortunately, limited socialization during that time led to some fear-based behaviors. Ivan is slow to trust and can be reactive to quick or rough movements — barking, growling, or even snapping if he feels unsafe. But once he knows you, he’s a mellow, affectionate companion who thrives on routine and gentle care. Because of his cautious nature, Ivan would do best in a quiet, adult-only home with someone who understands dogs with boundaries. He’s not suited for homes with small children, but he gets along beautifully with other dogs and would love a canine friend to show him the ropes. Ivanhoe is looking for someone with patience, empathy, and a big heart — someone who can offer him the stability and love he needs to feel safe and cherished. In return, he’ll give you unwavering loyalty and the kind of companionship only a wise old Beagle can offer. If you think you’re the one for Ivanhoe, apply at .northstarpets and ask for Ivanhoe KY. His adoption fee is just $250 — a small price for a lifetime of love.
