DILL

Description

Dilly aka Dilly aka Dilly Bar, is a 10 month old Beagle mix boy who is a happy friendly boy. Weighing in at approximately 28 pounds, Dilly is a nice medium sized boy who will fit into just about any household. Dill came from a cruelty situation where around 22 dogs had to be removed from a horrific home and life. It hasn't phased him a bit - he's still just a bouncy boy who loves everyone and everything. It is as if he doesn't even remember the mess that he was rescued from. Which is just as well! You may have noticed that our Dill has a pirate vibe going on - he only has one functional eye! His other eye didn't develop and gives him a rakish winking look, 24/7. It doesn't matter to Dilly - he goes through life just like he has two working eyes, and it is likely he was born just like this and has never known any different. It poses no future issues for him, has been fully vet checked, and is just sort of a thing that he has (or doesn't have, however you want to look at it!). Just remember - he isn't giving you the stink eye - he just can't help looking that way! Dill is very social, very friendly, mostly still a puppy boy with his whole wonderful life ahead of him. He seems to enjoy meeting any and all people he comes across without exception. He would do well with kids, seems to like other dogs (meet and greet required), and may even do well with cats if supervised correctly (cats are currently unknown but he doesn't seem overly reactive to them). While a fence would be outstanding, so long as his family is willing to not allow him to be off lead unsupervised, ever. Anyone who knows Beagles knows that when they smell a smell that gets their interest, they will follow that smell to the ends of the earth - it's sort of their job. Before they know it, they are hopelessly lost. They need a family dedicated to keeping them safe and sound, fence or no. Because Dilly came from such a terrible place, we are assuming that he will need a bit of work on house training. Even if he was perfectly trained at one point, we imagine that he was confused by how he was forced to live and will need a bit of a refresher. He is very smart and very willing to learn, so we don't think it will take much time at all if his new family simply pays attention and shows him the way! Basic obedience and things like crate training will also be some of the things that his new family can work with him on - we know he has all the potential to be a super star once someone commits to giving him the life he always deserved! Dill is nearly ready for adoption. If you are interested in him, please fill out the application to adopt
