Kentucky Animal Shelter Works To Find Its Longest Resident A Forever Home
When dogs end up at an animal shelter, it can be incredibly stressful for them. Life in a kennel isn’t comparable to life with a loving family, a home, and a yard.

Common Beagle Mixes
Beagles are easily identified by their black, tan and white short fur, big brown eyes and floppy ears. Not to mention that howl. They’re also one of the smallest members of the Hound group, broken into two categories: measuring either 13 inches (or less) at the shoulder or between 13 to 15 inches. The Beagle’s cuddly temperament, strong sense of smell and hunter demeanor makes for a great, but often unpredictable, mixer with another dog breed’s amped up drive or feisty personality. Beagle mixes can often be the best of both...
