About Dansby

Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started. Dansby is a beautiful tricolor beagle girl who is eager to find her forever home. At 3 years old, she was taken in with her sister Elsa and has quickly adapted to the comforts of being an indoor family pet, even enjoying snuggles on the couch with her poodle foster sister. Dansby’s gentle personality shines through once she warms up, although she may be a bit shy at first. She’s making wonderful progress with housebreaking and delights in carrying her toys to her bed, discovering the joys of playtime along the way. Unlike most beagles, Dansby is a slow and dainty eater, showing no signs of food aggression. She is friendly and playful with both people and her canine housemates, and while she was slightly nervous at the vet, she handled the visit with grace. The longer she spends in her foster home, the more her fun-loving and affectionate side emerges. Dansby is vaccinated, heartworm negative, micro-chipped, and spayed, making her ready to join her new family. They are ready to love you; are you ready to apply?
