About Alpha

Meet Alpha, an adorable 8-week-old Beagle who is ready to find his forever home. While his name might suggest a bold personality, Alpha is on the shyer side and thrives in a calm environment where he feels safe. He loves gentle ear rubs and cuddling up with his people. Having been more timid than his littermates, he would truly benefit from having another dog around to help boost his confidence. In his foster home, he gets along well with both dogs and cats and rides quietly in the car. He settles down quickly in his crate, showing a calm demeanor. Currently located in Richmond, VA, Alpha is up to date on his age-appropriate vaccinations, has been dewormed, and is on monthly preventatives. His adoption fee is $375, which covers his essential vaccinations, microchip, and the required neuter once he reaches the appropriate age. Ongoing training and socialization are essential parts of responsible ownership, and all prospective adopters must be committed to this. Ready to make Alpha part of your family?
