Story
Kanan is a very sweet boy who loves to sleep, eat, and cuddle. He has dermatitis so his skin is pretty irritated and he does itch it frequently. He gets along with all dogs and all people, he’s just a bit protective over food against other dogs. He doesn’t bark and doesn’t love to exercise, though you can get him to go on walks! He needs to be with someone who can take time to help his skin and just give him more time and energy than we are able to :(

Beast is a purebred beagle and just over 1 year old. He is very friendly but needs someone or a family who is home more often or just has a more predictable schedule. He would be great on his own or with other dogs. He would do better without cats but just would annoy any cats in a new home.
