"A few important things to note before you come to see me. I am a beagle so I will require some extra work and I spend my walks with my nose glued to the ground. Once I feel comfortable around you, I will set in your lap and beg for cuddles. If you think you are willing to love me forever, please see me here!"

"Before you fawn over my cute picture, I want you to know that I like slow introductions. When you come to meet me, throw me some treats and wait for me to come to you. Once I finally feel comfortable, I will jump in your lap and beg for hugs. I really like to go for daily walks and snuggling with my humans."

"I might be 11, but did you know that with proper care and love I can live to be 18 or 20? I'm as chill as they come because I really love lounging around in the sunny spots gazing out at the world around me. I don't ask for much, just some love. Please consider me, here!"

"I'm quite the goofy and unique girl! When you come to meet me, I will back up to you while wiggling my butt and looking at you backward ... I'm quite talented. Underneath the goofy nature, I have a loving personality and just want a family to love me forever. Consider me, here!"
