Lady Bird - Beagle Dog for Adoption in Fort Worth, Texas

If you have any questions or would like to schedule an appointment to visit with this animal, please email us at info@animalhope.org or call 817‐984‐1129 between 12 pm and 6 pm.

Ladybird is a 3‐year‐old Beagle who originally came from Ridglan Farms, a beagle breeding facility. She was not part of the large group of 1,500 beagles recently surrendered and featured in the news. Instead, Ladybird was a participant in an animal drug research study. Many research animals are well socialized and adjust easily to home life, but that foundation can vary depending on their early environment -- and Ladybird will need an adopter who understands that.

She can be timid and fearful of strangers, and she will require a patient, gentle home that allows her to build trust at her own pace. We do not assess her to be a bite risk; her fear presents as avoidance and caution rather than aggression. Once she feels safe, she shows a soft, sweet nature that is easy to love.

Ladybird has been examined and cleared by our veterinary team as healthy and ready for adoption. While our adoption fee for adult dogs is usually $300, we are willing to be flexible on Ladybird's adoption fee (please be generous, as we use that money to help other animals).

Because we don't observe our animals in home settings, we aren't able to guarantee whether she is housebroken.

Upon intake, every animal receives:

Spay/neuter surgery

Microchip

All age‐appropriate vaccinations

Blood and fecal testing (with treatment if needed)

Flea, tick, and heartworm prevention

A complimentary wellness exam 7-10 days after adoption

Adopters must be at least 21 years old and live within an hour of our facility.

If you'd like to meet Ladybird, we'd be happy to help. She's a gentle, sensitive Beagle who's ready for a calm, understanding home where she can finally feel secure and begin to flourish. 🐾✨
