Name: Bert

Breed: Beagle

Age: Approx. 6 years

Weight: 28 pounds

Coat: Short, Tri color

Adoption Fee: $175

Location: Essex, MD

Vetting Status: Neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, treated for Ehlichiosis and Lyme's diseases, heartworm negative and maintained on preventatives

Bert was initially found wondering the streets malnourished with significant hair loss due a flea infestation and untreated flea allergy, infected ears and overgrown nails embedding into his paw pads. He was surprisingly heartworm negative; however, he did test positive for two common tick borne diseases, Lyme's and Ehrlichia and has since completed his 60 day course of antibiotics (doxycycline) for treatment.

Like most beagles, Bert is friendly and outgoing, wanting nothing more than someone to love and cherish him. He gets along well with a array of K-9 companions (ranging from 15-90 pounds) and also enjoys going on car rides. Like most beagles he is food motivated and likely to "talk" to you at feeding time. Bert would fare well in nearly any home environment with both adults, children and other animals. Those who are not familiar with the characteristics of beagles are encouraged to perform research on the breed to ensure realistic expectations before submitting an adoption application.
