BARRY II - BEAGLE DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Beagle. Adoption Fee: $300.00. Barry is the epitome of all things Beagle! We found him in an over-crowded, rural shelter where he was literally next on the list for euthanasia. He had been at the shelter for over a month and came in as a stray so we don’t have any back-story. Besides needing to be neutered, his skin and coat were in rough shape from severe neglect. We have him scheduled for neuter surgery on 10/22 and while under anesthesia he’ll have some bumps removed and a thorough dental exam. With high quality nutrition, heartworm/flea/tick preventatives and soothing medicated baths and ointments, his skin is already showing dramatic improvement. Through all of this, Barry remains an exceptionally friendly dog. He gets along with other dogs and loves his humans. He is a shadow dog – he loves being with his humans, more so than the dogs in the home. Although he hasn’t played with toys yet, he has shown some interest. He hasn’t had any accidents in the house and is let outside every 2-3 hours. He LOVES his daily leash walks -- he pulls a bit but at only 30 lbs he’s easily managed. Barry currently stays in a crate while unsupervised and overnight. He isn’t a fan right now of the crate or being left alone but he’s learning quickly that his humans come back soon. He quiets down after 10 minutes or so. He is currently fed twice a day and is fed in his crate to continue to foster a positive relationship with this crate. He is interested in food and food on counters but is easily redirected with a verbal “no”. He hasn’t shown any house mischief when outside his crate and falls deeply asleep on a dog bed, waking up when the humans move so he can follow. He handles stairs easily. He is heartworm negative! He’ll be ready for a sleepover on 10/25/25. If you think Barry may be a good fit for your family, please submit an adoption survey so we can chat!
