Description
Dog Breed: Beagle. Adoption Fee: $350.00. Iris loves life! She is soooo curious and inquisitive. She adores being outside sniffing and running around, and inside she is just as much of an explorer, jumping on her little hind legs to see whatever is on the counter! Iris is not hugely food motivated oddly enough, she's just an investigator. And she loves toys -- squishy toys, ones that make noise, ones with crinkles in them. She likes to chew but has not destroyed or ripped any up. She is special in the way she loves to be near her humans. She is very lovey! Iris is also very friendly with new people and is thrilled when guests come over. Now if she is taken to a new environment, it takes her a little time because, well she's just got to investigate before she's totally comfortable! She can be super energetic at times but also LOVES to snooze for extended periods of time. At night she sleeps in a dog bed in the bedroom, but with the bedroom door closed so she doesn't roam. Her foster family works full time so Iris is currently crated during the day, sometimes for up to 8-9 hours. She's not particularly happy with the situation so we have promised her that we will look for a family who is home much more of the time. She has done well with the other two dogs in her foster home but can occasionally get a bit bossy when she is in an elevated place like the couch. This behavior simply causes her to have to relinquish the "prime real estate" and then once again she is her happy self. She mostly wants to play, but she is young and may need clear boundaries from her humans. Iris is admittedly not great on leash so we recommend a fenced yard... or patient people who will train. She is heartworm positive and will be treated the second week of September. She should be ready to go on sleepover by mid-September as long as post heartworm treatment protocols can be observed.

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.
