Meet Hastings, the delightful little pup filled with charm and personality! At just 9 weeks old and weighing in at 6 pounds (as of January 31), this JRT and Beagle mix is a bundle of joy ready to wiggle his way into your heart. 🌟 Expected to grow to about 30 pounds, with a mom who weighs around 27 pounds, Hastings is just the right size for snuggling and playing! Now, here's the scoop: Hastings is on a journey to find his forever home and, oh boy, does he need an adopter who can keep up with his playful spirit! With puppy antics just waiting to unfold, he requires an owner with an intermediate level of dog experience, ready to embrace the fun and work that comes with raising a puppy. 🐶 Expect to commit to daily exercise—about 90 minutes of movement and fun brain games are essential to keep him happy and stimulated. Adopters must have relevant experience and most importantly, loads of time, patience, and love to share! 🕒❤️ Because let's face it, raising this little furball can be a wild ride, filled with laughter and joy, but also a lot of work! Puppies like Hastings are a whirlwind of energy as they grow, so an active lifestyle and the ability to adapt to his changing needs are non-negotiable. Those pockets of puppy teeth? Oh, they’ll be testing boundaries and exploring the world, but with proper training and love, this exuberance can be channeled into the sweetest little companion! 🦷💖 Hastings is social and loves to meet other canines, and with the right guidance, he can build those important social skills. Kids over the age of 8 might enjoy interacting with him under adult supervision, but caution is key during those rambunctious play sessions, as younger kiddos may not understand puppy enthusiasm! 🧒🐶 Plus, he’s got the potential to play nice with cats – remember to introduce him to your feline friend carefully though! 🐱❤️ This adorable pup is still working on his potty training journey. Like all puppies, he’ll need a patient human to guide him through this! 🌈 And while he's yet to master leash manners and crate training, rest assured these skills can be developed. Hastings comes to you healthy, updated on his DHPP and Bordetella vaccines, microchipped, and ready to fill your days with love and laughter! His little journey began after being rescued from a shelter, where the odds were stacked against him. 🏠✨ Just imagine the gratitude in those puppy eyes as he finds his forever family!

Your future best friend is just a heartbeat away!
