Smeagol Beagle Clear Lake, IA

This senior guy is Smeagol the Beagle. He is 13 and finds himself looking for a new home. We aren't positive on the all of the reasons his owner surrendered him. We have a little information. His owner has had him since he was an 8 week old puppy. He is ok with kids, other dogs and with cats. It appears a variety of things led to him being surrendered. We are glad he was surrendered and not just dumped or put out on one of the free sights with his need for some medical work.

It is reported he is having a problem going poop in his kennel, however, some further information leads us to believe he spent 99% of his time in a crate because of stressing out the cat that was added to the home 3 years ago. He isn't fond of being locked up and you know it when he isn't happy. We haven't had ANY problems with him going potty in his kennel but then he is getting outside regularly for exercise and interaction with other senior dogs here at the shelter (video posted on Facebook).

He is scheduled for full physical, dental check, nails, etc., with Dr. Mike on Tuesday 9/14 and barring any unforeseen problems will be ready for a forever home as of 9/16/21.

His adoption fee will be $100.00. That includes neuter, current shots, worming, full physical, heartworm test and micro-chip.
