Beagle and Mixed Breed Dogs Available for Adoption

Meet Leeta, our newest little arrival with the sweetest soul. Leeta came to us from another shelter where she was understandably very scared. Since arriving, she has slowly begun to blossom, showing us her gentle and affectionate side. While she's making wonderful progress, she is still timid with new people and unfamiliar situations and will need a patient, understanding home to help her continue building confidence. Leeta appears to be a beagle mix -- and like many beagles, she enjoys following her nose! A securely fenced yard is preferred to keep this curious girl safe while she explores. Because she is still shy and adjusting, Leeta would do best in a quiet home without young children. We're excited to continue learning more about Leeta as she settles in -- stay tuned for updates on this special little girl.

Pet Refuge was formed in 1978 to help with cats and dogs in need of homes. We are a limited admission shelter that supports our local animals control facilities by helping take in the overflow of cats and dogs from their facilities. We also take in owner surrenders as space allows.

Pet Refuge is a volunteer based shelter, learn more about us on our website - petrefuge.com or send an email to webmaster@petrefuge.com or leave a message at 574-231-1122.

We are always recruiting new volunteers. Our volunteers work hard and also have family and jobs away from Pet Refuge, we ask for your patience in correspondence.

The Beagle is a beloved breed known for its friendly nature, curious personality, and distinctive howl. These small to medium sized dogs are incredibly sociable and get along well with both humans and other pets. Beagles are curious and energetic, always eager to follow a scent with their incredible sense of smell, making them excellent hunting and tracking dogs. Their short coat is easy to maintain, and they are adaptable to various living environments, making them popular companions for families and individuals alike.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
