Meet Encore! Born: Late January 2026 Breed: Beagle / Retriever Mix Gender: Female Litter: The Stagehands Overview: Ready for the performance of a lifetime? Encore is a stunning black-and-white Beagle/Retriever mix who is looking for her permanent spot in the limelight. As a member of the Stagehands litter, she has been well-socialized and is officially ready to find her forever family. Personality: Encore definitely lives up to her name-once you meet her, you'll be calling her back for more! She has the classic, floppy ears of a Beagle and the sturdy, happy-go-lucky build of a Retriever. She is a bright, playful girl who loves to explore new sights and sounds, but she's just as happy to settle in for some quality snuggle time after a busy morning of puppy play. What She's Looking For: An Active Audience: She'd love a home where she can get plenty of exercise, whether that's playing in a fenced yard or going on neighborhood walks. Consistency & Love: Like all puppies, Encore is looking for a family dedicated to her continued training and socialization. A Lifetime Contract: She is looking for a family that is ready for the commitment of puppyhood and beyond. Health & Status: Encore is Available for Adoption! She is up-to-date on her age-appropriate vaccinations and has been receiving excellent care while waiting for her perfect match. Is Encore the grand finale your family needs? Don't miss out on this sweet girl! Apply to adopt her today through Take Paws Rescue. PLEASE READ BELOW: If you are interested in meeting and/or adopting, the first step is to complete an application and read all of our FAQs: https://www.takepawsrescue.org/adopt Please note: Information to determine if you might be a match for one of our animals can only be found on our application. *An inquiry, questions or introduction through Petfinder is NOT an application* All known details about our animals are posted on their profile and updated daily. Other info will be discussed in detail with the foster during the application review process. Due to the high volume of introductions/questions received we ask you to submit an application (that application can be used for any dog with Take Paws Rescue). The adoption fee for adult dogs covers age appropriate vaccinations, microchip, spay/neuter if not yet performed, heartworm test & appropriate heartworm treatment by the rescue's vet. All dogs in our care are also kept up-to-date on HW/Flea Prevention.

Breed labels are given based on information obtained during intake and/or best guesses based on appearance and/or temperament of the dogs and Take Paws Rescue gives no assurance to the accuracy of these labels. Labels are necessary for postings to many animal networking sites, such as our website, Chewy, Pet Finder, and others. These are in no way a guarantee. Additionally, exact age and potential size cannot be guaranteed. ***Take Paws Rescue saves dogs from high-kill shelters across the South, owner surrenders, and discarded dogs with uncertain futures.
