Chief is a lucky 9-year-old beagle boy. He must have a beagle angel looking out for him! Chief was a stray found by a kind stranger and taken to a shelter in North Texas. One of the very kind shelter volunteers contacted HBHR to ask us if we could take this beautiful beagle boy into our foster program because the volunteer thought that his best chance for a forever home was with a beagle rescue group. So Chief hitched a ride with another kind stranger to Houston.
Chief was very emaciated and had a poor appetite when he arrived. He continued to lose weight, and we feared he was losing a battle with cancer. All his labs were perfect as were x-rays and ultrasounds. After trying a zillion different things to get his appetite going, a kind volunteer sent canned puppy food with an appetite stimulant. That turned the trick! Chief is now scarfing down his kibble with just a spoonful of topper like all the other beagles!
Chief is a sweet old boy who loves attention and squeaky balls! His house manners are perfect. He has his quirky side so you may find him in the fire pit chewing on a piece of burnt wood! He tolerates the other dogs but would prefer to be an only dog. He does not like to be touched on the back of his neck probably due to some past trauma in his life so he may snap but doesn’t mean to bite. He would be best in a home with older kids. Please find a place in your heart and home for this wonderful hound dog! He will give you lots of love and snuggles.
If you are interested in adopting him, you can submit your adoption application on the About Adoption page.
