Beagle and Cattle Dog Dogs Available for Adoption

Every time a tail wags, an angel gets its wings… and mine wags just for my people. They call me George Bailey — a 7 year old, 45 pound Beagle/Cattle Dog mix with loyal eyes and some serious old-man charm. If you know the classic story, you know George Bailey was steady, devoted, and all heart. That’s me in dog form. You see, my owner passed away and I was left to fend to myself. Now I am in foster care and ready to find my new home.

I’ve got laid-back, “let’s sit on the porch and watch the world go by” vibes. I’m not here for chaos — I’m here for companionship. My favorite place is wherever my humans are. After only a few days in my foster home, I decided it was my job to look out for my person. Loyalty runs deep in me. I’m crate trained and do well with having my own safe space. I’m still working on house manners and leash skills. Truthfully, the leash makes me nervous right now, so I’d love a home with a decent-sized backyard where I can stretch my legs without feeling unsure. With patience and kindness, I know I’ll keep gaining confidence. As for other dogs, I’d likely do best either as your one-and-only (I’d be perfectly happy with that arrangement), or with a calm female dog — with slow, thoughtful introductions. I like to build trust the right way, just like any meaningful relationship. If you’re looking for a devoted best friend with gentle eyes, old-soul energy, and a heart that believes every day with you could be a wonderful life… I’m ready to come home.
