Sleepy - Beagle and Hound Dog for Adoption in Richmond, Virginia

Meet Sleepy, the tiniest little firecracker in the litter!

We think Sleepy may have gotten a little mixed up with one of our other dwarf littles, because this 3-month-old Beagle mix is ANYTHING but sleepy! He's the smallest of his litter, but arguably the one with the biggest personality. This boy is feisty in all the right ways, full of playful puppy energy, and absolutely convinced he can keep up with the big dogs. And honestly? He gives it his best shot!

Sleepy is the definition of fun-loving. He may be the tiniest guy in the room, but he certainly doesn't know it! He's always ready to wrestle, romp, and hang with the best of them. Don't let his little size fool you. This boy has spunk to spare, and he's going to keep his forever family laughing with his larger-than-life personality.

He's also been testing out his car legs! Sleepy has been riding along with his foster mama to drop off his foster brother at school. He's still figuring out the whole car-riding situation, including where he's supposed to sit and why crawling all over everyone isn't the preferred method of travel. But one thing is for sure: Sleepy likes being included! He wants to be part of whatever his people are doing, and he's already showing that he's going to be a fun little sidekick for life's adventures.

Sleepy is looking for a forever home with another spunky, playful canine companion who can match his energy and help show him the ropes. He's still a baby, so his family will need to be committed to continuing his training, teaching him good manners, and helping him learn all the important things a little pup needs to know about how to “dog.”

If you're looking for a tiny package with a mighty personality, a playful partner in crime, and a whole lot of puppy shenanigans, Sleepy might just be your guy! He's small in stature but big on spirit, and he's ready to find a family who will love every ounce of his feisty little self.
