Adoptable Dogs

"If there are no dogs in Heaven, then when I die I want
to go where they went." Will Rogers, 1897-1935

Please  note - all dogs posted for adoption have been spayed/neutered and vaccinated.

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.

Ranger has an affectionate and good natured personality. This appealing boy loves children and would be a good family pet. Ranger is looking for a loving home with a secure environment and where someone is home during the day to keep him company.
 

Chase - male beagle, 5-6 yrs old

Chase is an affectionate little guy, who mixes well with some dogs, but not all dogs, so would be best suited to a household where he is the only one. Chase is looking for a home where he will have a secure environment, a fenced yard would be a bonus, and where he is not left alone all day.


 

Flash - male Border Collie cross, 3-4 years old

Despite a life of neglect prior to his rescue, Flash is a happy and outgoing little fellow. Affectionate and playful, he would be a good family dog who is best suited to an active household, where he will get plenty of exercise and someone is there during the day to keep him company. Life on a farm would be ideal for Flash.

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..
