Meet Poppyseed, the Soft-Hearted Sweety! I'm a 3 year old Beagle weighing just 13 pounds, and I have a very soft heart. The world feels very overwhelming, so I tend to take things extra slow and need a little extra time before I trust new people and new situations. I'm looking for an experienced, patient, and loving family who understands that confidence isn't built overnight. A friendly, confident dog is also a must as I'd love a canine role model to help show me that the world isn't such a scary place. Once I feel safe, I know there's a sweet and loyal companion waiting to blossom. All I need is someone willing to give me the time, patience, and love I deserve. ❗️ Important Things to Know If Considering Adopting One Of These Beagles ❗️ These dogs are incredibly sweet, but they will need patient, understanding adopters who are 100% committed to helping them adjust to life as beloved pets. * Another dog is required. A friendly, confident dog in the home will help them learn routines, build confidence, and adjust more quickly. * Safety is critical. They are an extreme flight risk and must always be securely managed outdoors with appropriate equipment. Even fenced yards are not enough on their own. * Everything is new. Everyday sights, sounds, people, pets, and experiences may be overwhelming at first. They will need time to explore the world at their own pace. * Go slow. Calm voices, gentle handling, and predictable routines will help them feel safe. They may shut down when frightened or overstimulated. * House training will take time. Patience and consistency are a must as they learn what life in a home is all about. * Most importantly, these are not "plug-and-play" pets. They will require time, patience, understanding, and possibly professional training. In return, you'll have the privilege of watching them discover comfort, confidence, and love for the very first time.Want to know more? Please call us!
