Rescued after being abandoned/getting lost with her brother(adopted) in a rural farming community in western NC. Owners couldn't be found via various local 'missing' animals sites on the internet, newspaper and Animal Control, who advised them to contact Howlin4Spirit.
Thelma Lou(BeagleX dob: 01/01/2020) is very sweet, happy, healthy and so willing to please her kind and gentle-handed person. Thelma Lou is seeking an active person/family who enjoys hikes, jogs, brisk runs on the beach or mountain trails. Will make an excellent companion for any size family(however, she is currently not suited for toddlers until she completes some basic obedience training), single person or couple who enjoys the outdoors and wants a best buddy to share in their experiences and snuggling when it's time to slow down. She's a real lover!
