Story
Meet Pops – The Playful Brainiac Pops is a 2-year-old Beagle Hound mix, weighing around 60 pounds, and he’s ready to charm his way into your heart! We really have no clue how this sweet boy has not been adopted yet… he’s just that lovable. This boy is all about fun and games — tennis balls are his absolute favorite. He never turns down a good game of fetch! Pops is also an eager learner who loves engaging with his people, especially when treats are involved. Pops can be a little shy when meeting new people, but with patience and a gentle touch, he warms up quickly. Once he trusts you, he’ll stick by your side like the loyal, loving companion he was meant to be. You may notice something unique about Pops — he has a cherry eye that was surgically corrected but has since relapsed. Our vet has examined him and assured us it’s purely cosmetic, just adding to his quirky charm. Pops is looking for a loving home where he can continue to build confidence, enjoy lots of playtime, and soak up all the affection he deserves. If you’re looking for a fun, devoted, and one-of-a-kind companion — Pops is your guy! Sponsored Adoption Fee! Pops’ adoption fee is fully sponsored to the perfect “Match” for him — that’s right, you can welcome this amazing boy into your family with no adoption fee! He is neutered, vaccinated, heartworm tested, microchipped, and ready to start enjoying his happily ever after with his forever family. Ready to meet him? Fill out a quick “Match Me” form: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/CAST/Dog All C.A.R.E. rescue dogs are vaccinated, heartworm tested, spayed/neutered, and microchipped — so all you need to provide is the love.
