Beagle Dogs Available for Adoption in Kansas City, Missouri

Pet Location: Wayside Waifs Campus - Please arrive at the shelter before 4pm on our open adoption days to meet me!

My Friends at Wayside say:
- I am enrolled in Waifs with Wisdom. This is a program for dogs to learn basic commands and leash walking skills. My adoption comes with a free 30-minute private training session.
- I am a small, independent guy who is a beagle-lover's dream!
- I’m smart and food/treat motivated.
- I have displayed some touch sensitivities. Ask our staff for more info!

My home needs are:
- Wayside recommends no apartments or shared living spaces for me, please! I like to use my voice when I am excited.
- I need a home with kids 6 years old and older since I tend to be nervous around new people and loud noises.
- Wayside recommends bringing your children between 6 and 9 years old out to meet me before adoption since I can be nervous around new people and loud noises.
- Wayside recommends you bring your dog to meet me before adoption to ensure we can be buddies.
- Wayside recommends researching my breed before adopting.

Hello, I’m Cooper!

My 3-year-old self is a Beagle-lover’s dream! I’m incredibly sweet, cuddly, affectionate, and gentle, with a huge curiosity streak. Long, sniffy walks are one of my favorite activities. If you wanted to take me on a car ride or tell me that I’m "such a good boy," I won’t complain!

Being a Beagle means that I can be pretty independent, so if I’m not in the mood, I can be a little sensitive to certain types of touch. If there are little humans at home, it’s best for me if they are over 6 years old; this helps avoid any overstimulation. I do really love other dogs. Like I said, I’m independent, so I prefer to initiate contact and play with furry friends. After that, it’s game on!

If you are looking for the picture-perfect Beagle with a small body and a huge heart, I’m your boy! Meet me soon, okay? I’ll be your "good boy" furever!

Love, Cooper

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.
