Story
Ready to fall head-over-heels for a classic beagle beauty? Dixie is a 3-year-old, TINY beagle tipping the scales at just 18-pounds. She's an absolute sweetie with a heart of gold—and a stubborn streak to match (because, well... beagle). After raising six beautiful pups, this “Supermom” finally gets her chance to be a spoiled family dog (probably for the first time). She’s gentle, affectionate, and strikes just the right balance between playful pup and window watcher. If you're not familiar with the Beagle breed, then you should know they are smart, independent, and DETERMINED to do things THEIR way. As sweet as she is, Dixie is no exception. Patience, training, and consistency are a MUST for her to thrive in her forever home. Now that her mama days are behind her, Dixie's playful side is starting to peek out more frequently. She has done great coexisting with her furry foster siblings (cats are still an unknown), ADORES a good hike or walk, and believes every interesting scent deserves a full investigation! She’s strong and QUITE enthusiastic on leash, so she’ll benefit from continued leash training and probably a no-pull harness. A physical fenced yard is required—Dixie’s nose is in charge, and she’s not above plotting an escape when adventure calls. Bonus points if you have a squirrel or 10 to keep her entertained! And, let’s be real: she’s a beagle, which means she has a big voice when the mood strikes. She’s not excessively noisy, but when she sings, the whole house will know. Apartment or condo living just isn’t for her (your neighbors will thank you). Dixie is newly housebroken but still adjusting—expect some accidents as she settles into a new routine. She’s worth it! Healthwise, Dixie has been treated for Lyme and Ehrlichiosis (both very common from tick bites). She'll need a blood test to confirm success and of course an adopter who will look out for her and make sure she stays on year-round protection (a MUST) so she doesn't get reinfected. Adoption Fee: $300 (includes spay, microchip, vaccinations, and current flea/tick/heartworm prevention).

Could she be the family addition you've been waiting for?April 30, 2025, 11:19 am
