Marley is an appealing young beagle with a gentle and affectionate nature. She can be a little nervous at times and is a house dog, not a hunter. She needs a quiet home with a secure environment, where family members are not out at work all day so that she will get the attention and reassurance she needs to settle into new surroundings.

 

Kersey - male beagle 2 to 3 years old.

Teddy - male Chocolate Lab cross, about 2 years old

Woody - male Boxer/Shepard cross, 2 to 3 years old

Woody is a friendly and affectionate dog and is a quick learner, anxious to please. Woody is best suited to a household with older children, and where someone is home during the day to give him the time and attention he needs.

Flash - male Border Collie cross, approx. 6 yrs old

Flash is affectionate and playful, but a little too rambunctious to be around young children. This appealing dog is a high energy boy, best suited to life on a farm or large rural property where he will get plenty of exercise and where someone is there during the day.

For The Love of Beagles

It is a fact that Beagles are one of the most affectionate and loyal of all dog breeds. Their gentle nature makes them a popular choice for families with children and it would be hard to find a more loving companion. A Beagle gets on well with other dogs and is happy to share. Sounding like Beagles are the perfect family pet? Indeed they are.

Sadly, there are many misconceptions surrounding this particular breed. Ask people what they know about Beagles and all too often the reply is “Oh - you mean rabbit hounds. They’re used for hunting aren’t they?” No doubt they would be surprised to know that these highly intelligent and sensitive dogs make such wonderful pets.

Many Beagles used for hunting spend their life outside, tied or in cramped cages with minimal food, in the misguided belief that this treatment will ensure they don’t lose their instinct to hunt.. This is a myth understood by too few hunters who allow their companions the comfort and warmth of indoor living. Beagles are short haired and not equipped to tolerate our harsh winters, and to isolate them from human companionship is the height of cruelty for these sociable creatures.

The best place for a Beagle is at home with a family who appreciates and treasures the wonderful qualities of these appealing dogs. If you are interested in adopting a Beagle or would like more information, please do contact us, either by phone at 902-245-2303 or email info@tlcshelter.com, and we will be only too pleased to help.

By giving a homeless Beagle a chance for a better life you will be embarking on a very special journey together..
