Meet Rouge! Age: Born late January 2026 Breed: Beagle / Retriever Mix Gender: Male Litter: The Stagehands Overview Ready for his debut? Rouge is a handsome black-and-white Beagle/Retriever mix and a standout member of the Stagehands litter. This sweet boy is currently soaking up all the love and learning the ropes in foster care. Personality Rouge is the perfect blend of his two breeds. He has that soulful, expressive Beagle gaze and the sturdy, adventurous spirit of a Retriever. Whether he's chasing a ball in the grass or trying to figure out where a "mysterious" scent is coming from, Rouge approaches life with a wagging tail and a curious heart. What He's Looking For: A Creative Director (You!): He needs a family ready to guide him through puppyhood with patience and positive reinforcement. Adventure: With his mix of hunting and sporting breeds, he'll be a great companion for backyard explorations or neighborhood strolls. Playmates: Like the rest of his "Stagehands" crew, Rouge is social and would likely enjoy having human or furry siblings to play with. Health & Status Rouge is available and is receiving age-appropriate care and vaccinations through Take Paws Rescue. He is well on his way to being the star of someone's home! Is Rouge the leading man you've been searching for? Head over to Take Paws Rescue to learn more about the adoption process and bring this sweet boy home! 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. For more on this, or for additional information, including the adoption process and our adoption fee scale for all our adoptable pets (including an explanation about Benefactor Dogs), please see our FAQs page: https://www.takepawsrescue.org/faq Any breed labels used by Take Paws Rescue, its employees/volunteers, or on vet records provided cannot be guaranteed. 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.
