Description
Dog Breed: Beagle. Adoption Fee: $300.00. Hushpuppy is a people magnet! He is so cute everyone who meets him just has to love on him ...and he's fine with that! He loves meeting new people. His foster mom says he likes to be near her and will lie beside her on the couch and bury his nose between her and the cushions. When he first arrived in his foster home, Hushpuppy was a little timid. At first, he was hesitant to explore much outside. We are aware that he came to the shelter from an owner who kept him and his brothers in pretty horrible conditions in an outdoor penned area. Also, he may not have had much experience with toys, but he is just starting to enjoy them. Hushpuppy has been friendly with the other dogs he’s met and also does fine with the cat, but he does want to go after rabbits! He’s not hugely food motivated, unless its the cat food. Housetraining is going very well with only a couple of accidents in the house. Hushpuppy does not really like the crate, but when his foster mom goes to work and leaves him at home alone with her other dog, they both have free roam, and Hushpuppy has not gotten into any mischief. At night he LOVES sleeping in the bed with foster mom and the other dog. He is not leash walked much in his foster home but he seems to do fine a few times he has gone to the vet. We think he would do best in a home that has a calm environment and where he can get lots of affection. He is a joy to have around! Hushpuppy is heartworm positive, his treatment has been scheduled, and as long as post treatment requirements can be met, he should be ready for a sleepover the weekend of August 21st.

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.
