Story
Sprout is an adorable purebred Beagle, who had spent the first year of his life in a cage at a Beagle Breeding & Testing Facility. He knew nothing but being used and abused by humans, no kindness, no gentle touch, and certainly no playing or running free with friends.
Sprout joined BAARK in June of this year, fearful and confused, knowing nothing other than life in a cage, except when taken out for “use.”
Fast forward to today and Sprout has made so much progress that one would never realize he came from a Beagle Breeding/Testing House of Horror.
He is friendly and even cuddly unlike a couple of his friends who suffered the same horrors and much more physical torment at the facility. He is of course wonderful with other Beagles (but can get the entire pack into trouble at times!) and seeks out the company of people who are kind and compassionate toward him.
These days, Sprout enjoys playing with toys, chewing bones, and running and cuddling with other Beagle friends. However, he also enjoys chewing plenty of things that he should not! Given his past life of living in a cage, he has had to learn how to live in a home and how to be a companion animal.
To distract Sprout from getting into things and chewing things he should not, he enjoys plenty of toys, chew bones, and more toys to keep him busy and interested!!
Sprout has been doing very well with housebreaking. He needs to work on feeling comfortable walking on a leash as well as riding in the car. But he is eager to learn and eager to please. Given his past, Sprout has not been forced to be in a crate in his foster home.
For Sprout, potential adopters MUST….
- Have a history of experience as a pet parent to Beagles
- Have at least one Beagle friend currently in the home
- Live in a single family home. Sprout, like most all Beagles, enjoys spending time barking
- Have a secure fenced yard (definitely no invisible fences)
- Spend a minimal amount of time away from home (i.e. not work the typical 8 – 10 hour day), although Sprout has been good home alone (un-crated) in his foster home.
- Remember that Sprout is a young Beagle, and very active, curious, and at times mischievous!
- Live within 30 miles of Barrington IL.
The above are minimal requirements with no exceptions, please.
In addition, as for all of our dogs, we require a solid vet history for all current and past dogs.
Sprout is fully vetted, is up to date on vaccinations, heart worm negative and on year-round heart worm prevention, is neutered and microchipped. Sprout’s estimated date of birth is 06-16-2025. He currently weighs approximately 22 lbs.
