About Beagle Dogs

Beagles are merry, curious hounds with an incredible sense of smell and a love for adventure. Their compact size, friendly disposition, and sturdy build make them wonderful family dogs. Beagles are pack animals at heart and thrive in the company of people and other dogs.

When you adopt a Beagle, you're getting a cheerful companion who approaches life with enthusiasm and a wagging tail. Their playful energy and gentle nature make them especially great with children and other pets.

Local Climate & Pet Care

Winter

22°F to 42°F

Dec – Feb

Cold with ice storms and occasional heavy snow that can make sidewalks treacherous. Protect paws from salt and ice with booties or paw wax, and keep walks brief on the coldest days. Ice storms are more common than in cities further north, creating slippery conditions that require caution.

Spring

40°F to 72°F

Mar – May

Severe thunderstorms and occasional tornado watches are a real concern from March through May. Have a pet-safe shelter plan and ensure your pet is microchipped with current contact information. Between storms, the warming days are wonderful for exploring Forest Park’s trails and open spaces.

Summer

68°F to 92°F

Jun – Aug

Hot and humid conditions with heat indices often exceeding 100°F make summer challenging for outdoor pet activities. Limit exercise to early morning or late evening, and always carry water. The Gateway Arch grounds and Forest Park offer shaded areas, but avoid prolonged sun exposure.
