I've found my furever family!

Approximate Age: 3 years Approximate Weight/Size: Small - 23 lbs I am an UNDERDOG because.... I am a hound mix! Hound breeds are very prominent in the rural south and usually the first to be euthanized at the shelter due to the overpopulation of this breed. Needs a Foster in the D.C. area until a forever home is found?: No - currently in a foster home! Needs a Home With Another Dog?: Unsure Needs a Fenced Back Yard?: Unsure Special Needs Notes: None at this time Additional info: Bella is an approximately 3 year old Beagle/Jack Russel Terrier mix. She is a sensitive and sweet girl. She is friendly with everyone and good with other dogs. Bella is well house trained, but may need a refresher in a new home. Bella loves to go on walks and is eager to smell anything and everything. Bella is also a snuggler and loves to be your shadow. She’s a fast learner and is already starting to learn some commands and tricks. She’s excited to find her forever family! Adoption/Foster Applications and additional information can be found at www.ruraldogrescue.com Mission Statement: Forever true to The Underdog, Rural Dog Rescue is dedicated to saving the lives of dogs in shelters who are often overlooked for adoption or rescue. We save the dogs who are at most risk of being euthanized: the hounds, the black dogs, the seniors, the sick and the broken. We make a commitment to reserve a minimum of 50% of the dogs we save to The Underdog. Root For The Underdog! Rural Dog Rescue's home base is in Washington, DC. We support several high kill shelters that euthanize in 72 hours and whose kill rate is 70% or higher in rural areas of Virginia, West Virginia, North and South Carolina. Rural Dog Rescue also helps dogs in need in Washington, DC and Maryland. We are 100% volunteer and foster based and no salaries are paid. 100% of your donation and adoption fee goes to helping the dogs and cats of Rural Dog Rescue. Although we try to be as accurate as possible, Rural Dog Rescue cannot guarantee the breed or full-grown adult size of any of the dogs or puppies in its care. Because many of these dogs were found as strays or are the result of irresponsible, unplanned breeding, we do not know the dog's exact background and can only list breed and size by our best educated guess. If exact breed and size are important to you, please consider adopting a dog from a specific breed rescue - We want our dogs to be adopted by people who will love and care for them forever for who they are - no matter what breed and size they turn out to be! All dogs go to their new homes spayed or neutered, up to date on all shots, wormed (although a 2nd worming may be required), started on heart worm and flea and tick preventative and sometimes microchipped.
