My personality

My story

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

Sweet McKinley is a one-year-old Beagle/Hound mix with a heart of gold and the gentlest soul. This beautiful girl has had a rough start and is now looking for a loving home where she can recover and thrive.

Recently, McKinley tested positive for heartworm and Lyme disease, and she needs a safe, quiet place to rest and recover during her heartworm treatment. Whether you're interested in fostering or adopting, McKinley would love to find someone with patience, kindness, and a calm environment to help her blossom.

While very shy, McKinley’s sweetness shines through once she feels safe. She needs someone who can go slow, give her space, and allow her to build trust at her own pace. With gentle care, McKinley will reward you with love and loyalty.

McKinley’s Highlights:

- Spayed, microchipped, and on monthly preventatives
- Needs a foster or adoptive home to recover from heartworm treatment
- Very sweet but requires a slow and patient approach
- Would do best in a calm and quiet home

If you think you could be the safe haven McKinley needs, please reach out to us. Your love and patience could be the turning point in this sweet girl’s life.
Help McKinley find the comfort and care she truly deserves! 💕

🐾 Ready to Adopt? Here's How!
The first step in our adoption process is submitting an application through our website. Simply visit: https://www.hoovesandpaws.org/shelterluv.html, click on the pet’s photo to view their full bio, then click “Apply for Adoption” to get started.

Please give us a few days to review your application. If approved, you’ll receive an email from adoptions@hoovesandpaws.org to schedule a meet and greet (including any necessary dog-to-dog introductions).

If the meet and greet goes well and you’d like to move forward, we’ll schedule a home check—this means we’ll bring your new furry friend to your home ourselves. This helps ensure a smooth transition and gives your new pup a familiar face upon arrival. We’ll finalize the adoption at that time!

Questions, comments, or concerns?
Reach out to us anytime at adoptions@hoovesandpaws.org. We're here to help!
