Beau - Beagle Dog for Adoption in South Burlington, Vermont

Meet Beau!

Beau (and his sister Lucy) came into the care of HSCC when their guardian was no longer able to care for them. These two beautiful bouncing beagles were extraordinarily loved in their home, and their previous owner made the very difficult decision to rehome them both, knowing that this transition would be the most humane thing for them. Since coming to HSCC, our staff has gotten to know this duo, and showered them with the love and affection they deserve while they wait for adoption.

Beau is a hound dog through and through - he is always so excited to see his favorite caretakers, with full-body wags, a big smile, and adoring doe eyes. He enjoys taking a slower approach to life, and his favorite activities include long, lazy sniffy walks out in the sunshine, spending time with his favorite people (and Lucy, of course!), and curling up for a snuggle on the couch. He is definitely more "woah" than "go", which is a nice balance to his more energetic counterpart.

Beau and Lucy have been together their whole lives, and rely on each other for companionship and comfort, so they will be looking to go to an adoptive home as a bonded pair. If you have the room in your home and your heart for the most adorable beagle duo the world has ever seen, look no further than Beau and Lucy!
