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

Description

Dog Breed: Basset Hound / Beagle / Mixed (short coat). Adoption Fee: 300. YUKON is a very good boy looking for a home with people who don't suck... Storytime -- Yukon was an owner surrender at a rural shelter. He was sure this was a mistake and he needed to get back home so he escaped the shelter and ran. He ran about 5 miles and managed to find his way home. His loyalty was rewarded with a trip back to the shelter where he was dumped once again this time with 2 other dogs, Cisco and Wrangler. That sucks. Yukon is a sweet, wonderful boy who did not deserve this. Yukon is a long and low basset hound/beagle mix guy, around 5 years old and 40 pounds. He shares his name with an SUV, and he's kind of like an SUV -- he isn't fancy, he's just big and comfy. Yukon has a wonderful disposition, he's good with everyone, people, other dogs, kitties, he fits in everywhere. He's loyal as the day is long, loves treats and loves to noodle around in the yard. He appears to be housebroken and okay in a crate and walks well on a leash. Yukon needs a home with a physically-fenced yard. If you'd like to meet Yukon, please fill out a dog adoption application at dreamhouserescue. We are happy to arrange a private meet with an approved adopter. You can meet Yukon at our weekly adoption event, Saturday noon-2 at PetSmart Eastgate. All our fully-vetted adoptable dogs go to prospective homes for a one-week trial period to make sure the dog and home are the right fit before an adoption is finalized. We only adopt dogs into homes where all current pets are spayed/neutered and current on vaccines and heartworm and flea and tick prevention. We do check veterinary references to make sure adopters are compliant with standard veterinary care. Our adoptable dogs are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, heartworm tested, dewormed and current on flea and tick and heartworm prevention.
