BOWDEN - BEAGLE (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Beagle (short coat). NAME: Bowden BREED: Beagle BIRTHDAY: 2020 WEIGHT: 25lbs ADOPTION FEE: $150 ​ ​ **Please note, Beatrice and her best friend Bowden are bonded, and must be adopted together!** ​ ​Sweet, shy Beatrice and her charming bestie Bowden were removed from a bad situation and taken to the shelter. The staff there knew they had a beagle lover up north, and the duo made their way to us. In foster care, these frightened pups have started to blossom, showing a desire to be loved and cuddled because people can be nice sometimes. They are very good with other dogs, though they seem to prefer each other's company, and are very friendly with cats, though Bowden has been known to chase if someone else starts it. They have made great progress with house training, are happy to go for walks or ride in the car, and are very quiet as beagles go. ​ ​ Beatrice is the more nervous of the pair, despite being in charge in their little relationship. She is less trusting of new people and less demanding of attention (Bowden is happy to crawl directly on top of you in order to be closer to your face), but when she warms up and comes for scratches first thing in the morning, it's a wonderful feeling. Bowden is a quiet talker, sharing all of his troubles while burrowing close to his favorite people. He has really gotten better about meeting new people, and now runs up to see who is visiting and whether or not they'd like to pat him. Bowden is heartworm positive and had his first injection in May- the next two will be in June, but he can go home anytime. It's important to make sure his exercise is restricted, but he's a pretty chill fellow so it hasn't been concerning so far. Thankfully Beatrice is heartworm negative! ​ While we know this adorable couple might be appealing mostly to beagle lovers, they are really not "typical" beagles and would make wonderful companions for someone new to the breed! It is a joy to watch them play, lounge in the sun, and make new friends. Please consider giving them a real home to grow old in!
