Roland - Beagle Dog for Adoption in El Mirage, Arizona

Roland was born in January 2021 and has been with his family since he was just 8 weeks old. He is neutered, housebroken, and kennel trained.

He is friendly and affectionate with adults and can be a wonderful companion once he feels comfortable. He can be somewhat skittish, so he will do best with people who are patient and willing to give him time to decompress, gain confidence, and build trust.

The most important consideration with Roland is finding a home that understands and can appropriately manage his history with children and food. He has snapped at a toddler, and can become reactive when food or people food is involved.

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.

Roland’s food-related behavior will need to be managed carefully. He should be given appropriate space around meals and human food, and adopters should be comfortable maintaining consistent boundaries and management.
