About Doc

Doc is a charming senior beagle who came to us from a rescue overwhelmed with beagles.

He seems to thrive in the company of other dogs, which might make for a wonderful companion in your home. Recently, Doc had a dental cleaning, and now he's feeling great and ready to join you on adventures, from leisurely strolls to sniffing out rabbits. This affectionate fellow is looking for a nice home where he can enjoy life to the fullest. Your new best friend awaits!
