About Harvard

Harvard is a curious and stubborn beagle who’s got a sweet streak for the right person. Like most beagles, his nose takes the lead—he’ll follow a scent and lose track of just about anything else. Harvard does best with older kids, ideally 12 or up, who can appreciate his playful quirks. He's happiest as the only animal in the house and won’t do well with other dogs or cats. Consistent training will bring out the best in him, especially with treats and patience. Harvard is ready for someone who gets that beagles have strong opinions, but strong hearts too. (Fun fact: Born on December 1, Harvard is a Sagittarius, which helps explain his adventurous spirit.) Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
