Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Skips is a five year old beagle with the traditional loud beagle howl. He follows his nose everywhere and so he would be best placed in a house with a yard. He does tend to be fearful and timid, but can be won over with lots of treats. Once you've earned his trust you can look forward to the best of cuddles. We're really looking to place Skips and Marty (the husky in the picture) together in the same home, but if we have to split them up, Skips would be best placed in a home with another smaller dog. It may take time to adjust, so we're looking for something transitional where we don't just drop him off and say goodbye. We truly want him to grow and love his new family. So if it takes a few weeks that's ok! We're also ok with an open adoption! haha Would love to see pics of him from time to time living his best life in his new home. ✔ Housetrained ✔ Knows commands "sit" "come" & "kennel up"

Luke is a loving dog, I received Luke from a friend that moved out the country. Luke is 5 years old now, he loves to play tug a war, fetch and go on long walks. He is very spoiled! Luke loves to sleep under me. He is house trained, and knows basic commands. I’m looking for a loving family to take him in because I can no longer care for him any more due to my medical condition.
