Story
Meet Max! Max is an "honorary" beagle, but we could not pass up those beautiful floppy ears. Our best guess is that Max is mainly Pointer with a little herding dog thrown in. He's 7-8 years old, about 45 lbs, and neutered. Max is an active dog with an active mind, so he will need an owner who appreciates these things about him. He loves toys, games and running, but will do ANYTHING for string cheese! He's got a fun personality, loves people, and takes treats oh so nicely. Max knows a few simple commands and with the magic cheese is learning more. As a hunting dog, Max does have a strong prey drive, so we will not place him with cats, small dogs, small furry others, or reptiles. Max will do well in a home with a large, securely fenced yard. He didn't have the best life up until now, but thanks to the good folks at the shelter and Beagle Rescue he is on the way to finding his forever family.

Story
Kimberly ended up in a rural shelter with her puppies, and she was a wonderful mom. Her puppies look like little golden retriever puppies, and she kept them safe and warm and well fed. It was clear that no one was feeding her enough because she is very thin but that did not stop her from giving and giving to her puppies! . We would love to get Kimberly into a foster home because we suspect she has gone through a lot keeping watch over her puppies. She is very clean in her kennel and does not chew on anything, Given how thin she is, Kimberly is very food motivated. Please consider this girl as a foster or to adopt. It is her time now! Thank you for your interest in Kimberly! Please visit www.hart90.org/petdetail.aspx?ID=17089 to get the most up-to-date and accurate information on this pet, to email the contact person listed for more information and how to meet Kimberly, or to submit an online application.

He is full of fun, young dog energy and is ready to have his own humans to trot alongside on sniffy walks, romps in local parks, and all the adventures they can dream up! Exploring all the toys sounds great too, as well as some delicious kibble and a cushy dog bed.   Most of all, though, he wants to know he's safe and loved and under his own roof every time the sun goes down.
