Buster - Beagle and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Wheaton, Illinois

Don't let the "10 years old" fool you — Buster never got the memo about slowing down. This beagle mix still has pep in his step, a nose for adventure, and enough charm to win over anyone he meets, young or old.

Buster's a true people-lover and just as much a dog-lover, happily making friends with pups of every size — big, small, and everything in between. No pickiness here, just good old-fashioned friendliness.

Buster does manage hypothyroidism, but it's a simple, once-a-day medication situation — no big production required. To help his new family get started on the right paw, the shelter is sending Buster home with three months of medication already covered.

If you're looking for a dog who proves that a decade only means a decade of experience being awesome, Buster's ready to bust into your life (sorry, we had to).

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.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
