BARNEY 2025 - BASSET HOUND / BEAGLE / MIXED (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Basset Hound / Beagle / Mixed (short coat). Meet Barney! Barney is a 6-year-old neutered male basset hound/beagle mix available for adoption in Chesapeake, VA (adoption area is within 1.5 hours of 23322). Barney is a short and stocky guy and is currently overweight at 58lbs, but his ideal weight would be around 45lbs. Barney is a super sweet teddy bear of a dog. He loves belly rubs, lying in the sun, every person he meets, and of course food! Barney has previously lived in a home with cats and does well with other dogs and kids. Barney was surrendered to BTTR after his owner’s health declined. Barney is neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative, on flea/tick/heartworm prevention, and just had a full blood/urine/fecal panel run. He is being evaluated for hypothyroidism (low thyroid hormones) which can cause the weight gain, ear infections, dry skin, hair loss, and lethargy he is experiencing. Treatment is a very inexpensive medication (Thyroxine-L) that is less than $7 a month on Chewy. Barney loves to be outside and would love a home where he could go for walks and have a fenced in yard to sunbathe as he loses weight. He is currently a low energy dog but he will probably be a medium energy dog as he slims down. Barney’s previous owner says he does fine when left home alone, and he is housebroken. BTTR offers a trail period to all of our adoptions to make sure we are the right fit!
