Alana - Mixed Breed and Beagle Dog for Adoption in Saratoga Springs, New York

Meet Alana
Breed: Beagle Mix | Age: 4 years | Size: ~30 lbs
Traits: Smart, sweet, playful, house-trained, crate-trained

Alana is a sweet, smart girl with a curious nose and a heart that deserves a forever home. She's had a difficult start, first being abandoned in an apartment when her owners moved away. She was then taken in by neighbors with several other pets, including dogs, kids and kittens, and did well with them-but there simply weren't enough resources for everyone.

Alana was adopted from the shelter but later returned because her family struggled with traveling. The good news? Alana actually enjoys the car and gets excited to go for a ride! She just needs some time and patience to settle into a new routine.

Now Alana is hoping her third home will finally be her forever. She is house-trained, crate-trained, loves playing ball, and is always ready for some cuddles.

Her ideal family will be active and ready to give her plenty of exercise, whether that means long walks, adventures, or a game of fetch in the backyard. With stability, patience, and lots of love, Alana is ready to show you what a wonderful companion she can be.

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.
