Dean Needs a Foster or Adopter by 1/17/26 to Secure His Ride to Wisconsin

Dean is currently in Georgia with our rescue partners and must have a foster or adopter to secure his spot on the transport truck to Cedarburg, WI with Mutt Life Dog Rescue. Without a home commitment, he won’t be able to make the trip.

Meet Dean
This 6-month-old Beagle mix came from the same local surrender situation where the shelter believes the previous owner was breeding and selling puppies. Dean and Sam are the last of their litter still waiting for homes.

Dean is a super cute, sweet, and playful pup who loves attention and affection. He is dog friendly, cat friendly, and kid friendly, and has the joyful energy you’d expect from a puppy his age. Dean is working on potty training, crate training, and leash training, all typical puppy stuff.

Dean weighs around 25 lbs and is expected to be a medium-sized dog when fully grown. He will be neutered before transport and is up to date on vaccines and dewormer. Dean will be ready to travel on 1/17/26.

Age: ~6 months
Gender: Male (will be neutered prior to transport)
Weight: ~25 lbs
Breed: Beagle mix
Spayed/Neutered: Yes (prior to transport)
Potty Trained: Working on it
Crate Trained: Working on it
Leash Manners: Needs work (typical puppy)
Good with Dogs: Yes
Good with Cats: Yes
Good with Kids: Yes

Dean is ready to leave his past behind and start a life full of love, structure, and fun. If you can foster or adopt Dean, please apply today.

6.) Neuter/spay for puppies: for dogs who are not fixed at the time of adoption, we will reimburse for the procedure once we receive proof of spay/neuter. The procedure MUST be done at HAWS Snip Clinic in Waukesha, WI or Wisconsin Community Veterinarian Center in Madison, WI. If you would like to go through your veterinarian or another location, we will reimburse $150 once we receive proof of the procedure. We recommend spay/neuter around 6 months old.
