Chances Origin Story

Like all the beagles released from Ridglan Farm, Chance has not had a life full of family, love, and socialization. He will need patience and understanding to make up for lost time.

Health Notes

He is neutered and is fully up to date on his vetting. He is currently eating a raw diet, and it is recommended that an adopter continue with this to ensure that his tummy remains stable. Many of the beagles that came out of RF had significant digestive issues for a while, and the raw diet seems to have stabilized that. The Ridglan beagles have been found to be prone to vaccine reactions. He will need to receive Benadryl 24 hours before and 24 hours after vaccines to prevent this going forward.

Personality

Chance has overcome a lot of trauma in his newfound freedom. He is friendly but initially anxious around loud noises and fast movements. This curious pup prefers to be with you as opposed to being left alone. Chance is food motivated (classic Beagle) and isnt afraid to let out a reminder howl to share his frustration with late mealtimes. Hes excited when his foster family returns home.

In public, he is still slightly jumpy with loud moises or large moving objects, but otherwise does wonderfully. He greets people with a slow approach and a wagging tail.

Family Matters

Chance would love a calm home with a confident dog sibling to teach him how to be a dog. Chance is initially submissive with other dogs, engaging when comfortable. One caveat: He doesn't really understand social cues, as we are finding with many RF beagles. Your other pets, especially dogs, will also need to be dog friendly and tolerant.

Chance has not been in a home with children but has been respectful of cats (may be curious initially).
