Meet Bubby!

Bubby is such a good boy and super playful! He does well with cats, kids, and other dogs! He is also potty trained! He is high-energy and definitely needs regular play and activity. He is working on his leash training as he does pull right now! He is great with kids. He is gentle and playful with them! He is friendly with new people right away. He gets excited and can be a little jumpy when greeting them. Just the happiest boy!

He is being fostered in Richmond, VA and is up to date on age-appropriate vaccinations, is neutered, microchipped, has been dewormed, and is on monthly preventatives. His adoption fee is $375 and covers the cost of age-appropriate core vaccinations. We require that all adopters, regardless of the dog’s age, are committed to ongoing training and socialization as part of responsible ownership. To apply to adopt Bubby, visit www.beaglesandbentleys.org/adopt.

Note: Sending a Petfinder inquiry is not submitting an application. We require a completed adoption application to move forward with adoption.

Beagles and Bentleys has an across-the-board evaluative process that we apply to every application we review that prioritizes our animals in need. We conduct a vet reference check (all resident dogs must be altered/up to date on dhpp/rabies and monthly preventatives, and cats must be altered and up to date on rabies) and a virtual home visit call where we discuss the adoption process and see your home.
