Meet Popper, a funny, cuddly, and sweet 10-month-old Beagle mix with big ears and an even bigger personality! He loves playtime, chew toys, yard zoomies, belly rubs, naps, and curling up with his people.

Popper is affectionate, easygoing, and medium-energy. He enjoys activity and daily exercise, then happily settles in as a cuddle bug. He does well with structure and has a predictable routine.

Ideal Home

Popper has interacted with children as young as 3 years old. Children should be taught to respect his space, especially while he is resting or in his crate.

He gets along wonderfully with the dogs in his foster home, though he can be selective and reactive toward unfamiliar dogs while on leash. Slow introductions, patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement will be important. He may thrive as the only dog or with a well-matched canine companion.

Ongoing Health

The adoption fee includes a microchip registered to 24 Pet Watch, DHPP, Bordetella, leptospirosis, and rabies vaccines, a 4DX heartworm test for dogs 7 months and older, spay/neuter through a partner veterinarian as scheduled by the rescue, deworming, heartworm prevention, and flea/tick prevention.

Breed and age are estimates based on available records, veterinary advice, appearance, and prior owner information.

Training & Support

Popper is crate trained and potty trained, though he may occasionally have an accident if left alone too long. He has no food, treat, toy, or people resource guarding.

He is still learning leash manners and will benefit from continued training, daily exercise, structure, and positive reinforcement.
