Mallow is a sweet, affectionate 8-year-old Beagle who loves walks, sniffing, belly rubs, cuddling, meeting new people, and relaxing with his favorite treats. This social senior enjoys both companionship and independent time, and he settles down for a nap after walks.

Mallow is adjusting to city life and has made progress with loud noises, stairs, and elevator practice. He may need more time before he is ready for the subway. He is eager to greet people and other dogs, though he can be uncertain during close dog interactions and would benefit from gradual socialization.

Ideal Home

Mallow would do well with a patient adopter who can provide a calm routine, daily sniff walks, and continued support as he adjusts to city sounds. He enjoys children and may be comfortable with cats, but his interest in chasing squirrels and birds means careful introductions and supervision are important.

Ongoing Health

Mallow is healthy for his age as far as known. He is vaccinated, neutered, microchipped, and was treated with dewormer upon intake. Adopters should be prepared for senior care, including annual checkups with senior bloodwork and a post-adoption dental examination.

Training & Support

Mallow is house-trained and is learning name recognition, “yes,” “no,” “sit,” and “come.” He has started sitting more consistently. Lead training is his main area of work: he may pull, cut across the sidewalk, and become focused on strong scents, so he needs patient daily sniff walks and continued training. He enjoys chew toys, snuffle mats, and scent-based enrichment. He usually handles being alone for a few hours well, though rare howling has occurred.
