Description
Dog Breed: Beagle. Adoption Fee: $250. If you are hoping to “rescue” a dog for all the right reasons, please look at our boy, Kirby. No, Kirby was not kept in a cage—he was in an even worse situation. He was out in the world by himself with his puppy collar embedding into his neck as he grew. In addition, he was underfed and treated very poorly. When the shelter reached out to Tampa Bay Beagle Rescue, the clock was ticking loudly for Kirby. Thanks to the amazing work of our transport partners and generous donations to TBBR, Kirby came to us with 40 stitches circling his entire neck. He was also underweight and terrified of people. It is truly amazing what a little time and love can do! It took just a few days for Kirby to begin trusting the pack. Every day, he grows more trusting of me, too. He has even started following me into my office just to hang out near me. He happily comes out of his crate on his own in the morning, and he even taught himself how to use the doggy door! Best of all, he is now completely house-trained. If you want to make a real difference in the life of a Beagle who truly needs it, Kirby is your boy. He will do best in a relatively quiet home (no toddlers, please) with a family who has plenty of patience and love to give.

Overview:
The Beagle is a beloved scent hound with a rich history, originally bred in England for hunting hare and rabbit. Their most recognizable physical traits include a sturdy, compact build, adorable floppy ears, and soulful brown or hazel eyes. Beagles typically weigh between 18-30 pounds and stand 13-16 inches tall, featuring a smooth, dense coat that comes in a variety of tri-color or bi-color patterns. In terms of temperament, they are known for being exceptionally friendly, curious, and outgoing, making them wonderful companions for families with children and other pets. However, their strong prey drive and inclination to follow interesting scents mean they require a securely fenced yard and consistent leash training. While adaptable, their need for exercise and tendency to vocalize (howl!) makes them less ideal for small apartment living unless daily walks and mental stimulation are guaranteed. Regarding health, Beagles can be prone to certain conditions like hip dysplasia, epilepsy, and intervertebral disc disease, making responsible breeding and regular veterinary check-ups important.
