Beagle and Dachshund Dogs Available for Adoption in Overland Park, Kansas

Meet Lily Nova — a 3-year-old beagle/dachshund mix with a curious nose and an independent streak! Her unexpected personality will surprise you. Weighing in at approximately 20 pounds, she's the perfect size for both couch cuddles and outdoor adventures.

Lily absolutely lives for her walks—especially “sniffaris,” where she can follow every interesting scent the world has to offer. True to her beagle roots, her nose leads the way! Just be warned: squirrels are her ultimate nemesis, and she takes her neighborhood watch duties very seriously while she's soaking up the sun.

She's great with kids and does well around other animals, though she tends to keep things on her own terms with a slightly aloof, cool-girl vibe. Lily is both kennel trained and potty trained, making her an easy addition to a home routine. She doesn't like being left home much, and can protest rather loudly at times. Apartment living isn't the best option for her. When it comes to food, she can be a bit of a picky eater—but she knows what she likes!

If you're looking for a loyal, low-drama companion with a touch of sass and a love for the outdoors, Lily Nova might just be your perfect match.

Unfortunately, Lily is heartworm positive and is going through treatment. Otherwise she is healthy, has all her shots, spayed and microchipped. She'll be available in June. You can apply for Lily now at www.bassetandbeagle.org. Her adoption fee is $400
