I’m a fun-loving Beagle mix who’s ready to find my forever home. I haven’t had the easiest start in life—I came to the rescue underweight and with a few behavior challenges. But guess what? I’ve made great strides, and I’m really turning into a good boy! I’m crate trained and get along great with all animals. I’d absolutely love a home with another dog to play with—it helps me feel more confident and happy. I need someone who’s patient and understands that dogs like me, who’ve had a rough start, need a little extra love and guidance as we figure things out. If you’re looking for a loyal, playful companion, I’m your guy! Let’s navigate life together. ? Interested? Submit an adoption application at www.rubywhiskers.org/adopt She/He is currently located in Chicago's southwest suburbs and can be seen by appointment once an adoption application is completed and approved by the rescue. We cannot hold our dogs for any reason. Unless the dog or puppy is fully vetted we will only consider applications that are within 1 hour or 40 miles of Lemont, IL. This is due to the required vetting at our partner veterinarians. If the dog or puppy is fully vetted we will allow adoptions out of state or outside of our 1 hour or 40 mile restriction. Please do not apply unless you are ready to meet and welcome a new companion into the home within five days of approval. ADOPTION FEE: $350 (includes spay/neuter must be done when the rescue schedules it at one of our partner vets, microchip, rabies vaccine, DHPP vaccine, 4DX test (Heartworm, Anaplasmosis, Ehrlichia, Lyme Disease ) and a general wellness which includes dewormer, heartworm prevention and flea/tick prevention) *Please understand that we will spay/neuter no younger than 16 weeks but it is the rescue's discretion when the dog will get that procedure. We know that some veterinarians recommend waiting depending on the breed's projected size but as a rescue, our goal is to prevent further unwanted, "accidental" litters. Spaying and neutering also have many benefits for cancer prevention and avoiding behavioral problems. The American Animal Hospital Association and the American Veterinary Medical Association support pediatric spay and neuter procedures for cats and dogs as early as 8-16 weeks of age. We always assess and speak with our partner vets when is the best time to perform this procedure.
