Butterbean is an 8-year-old Beagle weighing around 35 pounds who has shown just how resilient and joyful a dog can be. He came to the shelter after living outdoors without the care and comfort he deserved and has adjusted to every change with quiet confidence. Butterbean is very vision impaired, with possible early glaucoma, but it doesn’t slow him down. He experiences the world nose-first and lives life one smell at a time, always eager to investigate anything tasty. His Beagle nose guides him with purpose and enthusiasm. This roly-poly gentleman carries some extra weight, which is being addressed with appropriate diet and gentle activity. He also has dental disease, which is common for dogs of his age and background. Our team is happy to discuss his ongoing care with interested adopters. Butterbean has a sweet, steady personality and would do best in a calm, predictable home where his environment can remain consistent and supportive of his vision needs. With patience and reassurance, he will be a deeply affectionate and loving companion. There was a cat on his previous property that intermingled with the dogs outdoors; any home with a cat should plan for slow, thoughtful introductions. Butterbean is ready for a home where he can enjoy comfort, security, and the simple pleasures he’s always found through his incredible nose. Veterinary Care: Butterbean is neutered, microchipped, heartworm tested, and current on all age-appropriate vaccinations. He has been dewormed and is on monthly flea, tick, and heartworm preventatives. Apply to adopt here: https://orangecountyva.gov/159/Pet-Adoption-Foster-Care-Information
