Darling Lightening Hound & Beagle Mix West Hartford , CT

This darling, easy going, wonderfully sweet girl is lightening. She has found herself in a devastating position of losing her family. She was born in a vet practice to a stray mom (who was actually a Yorkie mix! It’s believed they are a wonderful southern combo of Yorkie, lab, beagle and maybe some hound). The mama and her babies were homeless and the vet absolutely fell in love with the two babies. He was the kindest hearted man and decided to keep them together and welcome him to his home as their family dogs. Him and his wife are incredibly kind people, and their compassion extended beyond animals. They have adopted a total of 5 special needs human children and these amazing girls have been raised with them beautifully. Sadly, the seriously persistent medical issues of one of the children has forced them to move to a location closer to where the child receives constant medical care. This has forced their relocation from a home with a fenced yard to an apartment in a city where they cannot keep their two pups. The entire family is devastated, but surely not as devastated as the girls. Knowing the circumstances and what incredible girls they are, fortunately a fabulous foster home was happy to bring them home and care for them until their forever home is found.
Lightening has been wonderfully cared for in all ways since birth, including excellent vet care. She is 4 years old and a perfectly petite 35 lbs. She is healthy as can be, current on all medical care and spayed, and ready to begin the next chapter of her life.
Given their foundation and entire life experience, Lightening and her sister Turtle are incredible dogs. Lightening has been raised with her family since day one, getting lots of love and handling. She has been a true part of the family and as a result, is exceptionally well behaved in the house and has an amazing temperament. She is mildly playful and will enjoy the companionship of other dogs, or her sister, but she will be okay as an only pup as well. She is an unbelievably tender, sweet, loving girl. She picks up on social cues from other dogs easily and is all around an easy going girl. She and her sister are practically twins in terms of life history, experience, and overall personality. She is great in walks and enjoys sunbathing and snuggles. She could have been found any day snuggling with her sister or one of the children in the house. She is very tender and just an adorable girl.
Lightening will be okay adopted separately from her sister, though we are sure it’s her dream, after all of the family loss, to get to stay with her sister. Our top priority is to ensure this girl finds her soulmate humans who will adore her, snuggle her, and commit to her always.
This girl is absolutely incredible and has been the bestest girl she could have been her entire life, and most definitely never deserved homelessness and her family knows that. Everyone is deeply saddened, and Lightening is longing to rebuild her life and find true love, forever. If you’d love to welcome this incredible girl into your heart and build a wonderful future together, please visit www.greatdivideanimalrescue.org and submit an application for adoption today!
