Jingle - Beagle Dog for Adoption in Elk Grove Village, Illinois

I came up to AHF as part of a litter with my 3 sisters as young puppies. My sisters were all adopted quickly. But I had to be held back because on my first vet appointment to be vaccinated AHF found out I had a heart murmur. Originally, we hoped it was going to go away as I grew, but it didn’t go away. It was sort of a surprise because I have never shown any signs of being sick. I’ve always been active, playful and lovable. I might be a Beagle mixed with a low rider breed dog, like a Bassett, because although my sisters looked more like Beagles, I was always shorter, stockier and longer. I am a very happy dog whose tail is always wagging, and I like to kiss everyone I meet. My foster says I’m very handsome.

Because I had the heart murmur I went to a cardiac specialist and was diagnosed with a congenital heart pulmonic stenosis. I underwent a procedure called a balloon valvuloplasty that was successful. I will need to take Atenolol medication that costs around $35.00 for a 90 day supply, probably for the rest of my life, to keep my pressure controlled, and will need periodic echocardiograms as recommended by the cardiac specialist. And my family will have to make sure I keep my weight controlled to avoid any problems. My specialist said my prognosis is fair to good and many dogs with mild to moderate pulmonic stenosis can live a normal lifespan.

I love playing with my foster’s dogs, so would like another playful dog in the house. I am crate and pen trained and walk on a leash. I would do best with a fenced in yard or frequent walks to keep my weight down.


The adoption fee is $360.
