Description
Dog Breed: Beagle. Adoption Fee: $250.00. Smeagol excells in beagle-ness. He really is a bit full of himself but it’s actually endearing and his hard-headedness will often make you laugh and love him all the more. Smeagol never meets a stranger and likes all people. He’s been good with kids around 7, though we don't know about about toddlers. He interacts well with all the dogs in his Louisiana foster home and had absolutely no problem with anyone from day one. He will tumble and rough house with one of his doggy buddies on occasion but is completely indifferent to the cat who chooses to sleep next to his crate at night. He does however show a high prey drive when it comes to rabbits, squirrels, and raccoons! House training is good, but he currently spends a lot of time outside. We would like to see him have a fenced yard, but the fencing will need to be secure as he will find escape routes if there are any. While definitely food motivated, he is not food aggressive at all. Smeagol loves to be petted and talked to, but is not a big snuggler. He appears to prefer his foster dad over foster mom, although he’ll run to her for petting too. Smeagol is crated with the door closed for meals and overnight. He will vocalize if he wants or needs to get out, but once he is put him to bed at 11pm with the other dogs, he’s usually quiet and settles right down. Smeagol was heartworm positive and went through his treatment in April. He can come to Florida as soon as we have a foster or potential adopter for him.

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.
