My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Apply to Adopt Me!

Meet Pete. He is an almost 7-year-old, 42-lb. tricolor beagle. He has big, expressive brown eyes and long, floppy ears. His medium-sized, muscular body and wagging tail make him an adorable and sturdy companion. Pete is friendly, curious and affectionate. He has a lively and playful spirit but the hound in him can also be quite stubborn and determined, especially when following an interesting scent. He is intelligent and enjoys problem-solving activities. Pete loves to explore and go on walks, using his keen sense of smell to track scents. He enjoys playing with toilet paper rolls and toilet paper lol. He’s fond of belly rubs and cuddling with his favorite humans. Pete also loves to lie down and sit in high places where he can see everyone or look out the window. Pete is not fond of loud noises or sudden changes in his environment. Initially, he can be leery of strangers but warms up quickly with some gentle coaxing. Pete is good with children and gets along well with other dogs. He is wary of men at first but will give tons of love once he feels safe. It is unknown how he interacts with cats. Pete is a bit of a couch potato, loves snuggles and is a total sweetheart. He is looking for a family that will give him the love and attention he deserves. Pete is a very low-energy pup.

Up until Pete came into our rescue, he had not had a great life and his health was extremely neglected. He arrived to Lil Rascals with hair only on his feet. Many people would describe his skin "elephant skin." He was in pain and miserable. After 8 months of intensive care by our vet and his wonderful, loving foster family, Pete has regrown practically all of his hair back and is a new dog who feels good and looks great. But he doesn't have normal hair follicles and never will, so he will always need continued maintenance. Right now that's routine bathing 2-3x a week with a medicated shampoo. He will also need a regular Cytopoint injection for itching.

Whoever adopts Pete is a very blessed family. We are requiring a fenced-in yard for him to go out and explore and take his time to go potty. He does have some separation anxiety, so someone who is home most of the time and has other pets to keep him company is what is preferred for Pete. Someone with hound experience would be a bonus. If you live in the Central Florida/Orlando area and believe you have the perfect home for Pete, please complete an app and tell us more about your family.
