Huxley - Beagle Dog for Adoption in El Mirage, Arizona

Huxley was born in February 2019 and is approximately 7 years old. He came to his family at around 2 years old after his previous owner could no longer keep him. He is neutered, housebroken, and kennel trained.

Huxley is both friendly and affectionate with adults will be a wonderful companion once he warms up to his new surroundings. He can be a bit skittish, so he will do best with people who are patient and has time to let him decompress and build confidence/trust.

The most important consideration with Huxley is finding a home that understands and can appropriately manage his history with children and food.

Huxley was wonderful with his family before a baby was introduced into the home. He has a history of snapping at a toddler.

Because of this history, a home without young children is required. Older, dog-savvy children may be considered on an individual basis, depending on their age and experience with dogs.

What Huxley is Like:

Friendly and affectionate with adults
Housebroken
Fully kennel trained
Neutered
Generally good with other dogs
Plays well and has lived with other dogs for many years (not particularly bonded to house mate)
Food lover (what beagle isn't!)
Somewhat skittish and may need time to settle in
Not considered a good fit for cats or other animals

Huxley's Ideal Home

• An adult-only home or a home with older, dog-savvy children
• Someone experienced with dogs, preferably Beagles or similar breeds
• Someone comfortable managing food-related behavior
• A home without cats or other animals
• A calm, predictable environment
• Someone patient with somewhat skittish dogs
• A family willing to give him time to decompress and build trust

If you think Huxley could be a good fit for your family, we’d love to hear from you!

Thank you for considering Huxley!
