Spuds - Beagle & Labrador Retriever Mix Apple Valley, CA

Spuds is a long legged lemon beagle/lab mix, 7 years old and 40-45 lbs. He's got a stubbed tail - shelter thought he had some cocker spaniel in him - we don't see it. He has developed some great friendships with other B&B dogs - might help if he was adopted with one of those companions.
Very selective of his people - not good with strangers. He will bite. But with the right people, he's a good boy- friendly, loves cuddles, mingles well with other dogs, runs around the yard, and follows his people obediently. Does well on a leash.
Here's how he likes to learn to trust: Someone come very frequently and spend 15+ minutes with him - less in the beginning. Check in with him - go volunteer with another dog or other task - and then back to him. Repeat this often and until he is happy to see you. That is how he learned to LOVE us here.
We rescue a fair number of very shy, unsocialized dogs - they can heal - if we, the people, don't mess it up. We use the help of a terrific trainer/dog whisperer - terristeuben.com

Are you my furrever family?

For further info on the adoption process, please visit our home page and check out the "Adopt a Dog" section, which has thorough instructions. All our dogs are spayed/neutered, microchipped, and

fully vaccinated before adoption; they have been wormed, bathed, socialized, walked daily and much loved; each adoptee leaves with a leash, collar, and all medical records.

Our prices are higher than the shelters' because we nurse the dogs through their illnesses and get them needed surgeries and dentals. We also spend time socializing. Furthermore, unlike shelters, rescues do not get financial aid from the government and must rely on donations, grants, and adoption fees. Our fees for adults start at $150 and usually go up to $750. Young adults that are high in demand may be a little over $750.00. For puppies and purebreds, we charge up to $1000. The lower end is for dogs who have been here a while. The good news is that, because rescues fall under the "charity" category, the fees for our dogs are officially donations and are therefore tax deductible. You can think of it as donating to a worthy cause and getting a dog in return!

Beagles & Buddies must find ways to raise money so we can continue saving dogs. Your tax-deductible donation keeps our rescue kennel operating!
