My story

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

Hi, I'm Dexter! I'm an adorable Beagle mix, and I'm estimated to be about 6 years old. I'm a cute little fellow, weighing about 16 pounds.

I was found as a stray. Life on the streets was tough for a little guy like me, and I was glad to get some TLC from my foster parents when I got home. I was weak and was having some skin problems when I first arrived, but I take baths like a champ, so now my coat is filling in and I'm doing so much better! I've been eating well and have regained my strength- I'm strong enough to jump right up on the couch with you.

My favorite thing in life is... you! I love my humans and I always want to be close to them. I love going for walks with my humans, and I'm super easy to walk- you could walk me with one finger! I get along well with other animals, especially those closer to my size. I get excited about seeing other dogs my size and may let you know I'd like to meet them. I get along well with my foster sister, who is a big pit bull, and sometimes I check in on my cat siblings as well- mainly because I like the smell of their food! Sometimes I bark when I see big dogs that I don't know, because I don't want them to swallow me whole. I think I would get along well with most pets, particularly if they are smaller.

I love a good snuggle. I'm a true lap dog, and I'll binge watch your favorite TV show nuzzled into your side for hours! I would rather cuddle with you than play with toys. I'm also house trained and crate trained, so if you're busy I tend to go right to my crate and burrow into my blankets. I love a cozy crate, almost as much as I love my humans. I sleep through the night in my crate with no problem, and if you sit down with me right when you wake me up in the morning, you are in for some serious cuddling! I'm as excited to see you as a little puppy!

In general, I'm in great health and heart worm-free! I'll make a great companion for someone who is looking for a sweet, chill, funny, and affectionate companion. I would also be a great choice for a first time dog parent. No drama here, just constant love and cuddles! Did I mention how cute I am? You should come see for yourself!

Additional adoption info

Please visit www.hopeanimals.org/adopt to learn more about our adoption process and to complete an adoption application.

Adoption Fee includes spay/neuter*, microchipping, up-to-date vaccinations, and current heartworm and flea/tick preventatives.

*If pet is not old enough to be spayed or neutered prior to adoption, a $50.00 credit will be paid to your vet at the time of surgery.

We require a veterinary reference for current pet owners, and pets must be up to date on vaccines and heartworm preventative. We meet potential adopters in their homes and introduce the pets to the family's current pets to see if it is a good match. A copy of our adoption contract can be requested via email.
