Cornelius Beagle & Dachshund Mix Cincinnati, OH

Oh my. Just look at that face. This adorable little guy was left in the drop pen of a rural county shelter with no information about his past. Cornelius is about 9 months old and weighs 21 pounds. Will never understand how people can leave a defenseless little guy like this alone (not even a note?) to fend for himself in an overnight drop pen. But we will always be over the moon happy to know that we were able to save him and to have the goal to find his forever home.

Cornelius has the cutest short little legs, dark, soulful eyes, and quite the endearing under-bite! Although we don’t know anything about his past, we definitely love what we have seen so far with this little guy. He has a very happy and friendly personality: he really seems to love attention and meeting new people. He hasn’t met a stranger. Cornelius still has a lot of playful puppy left and loves to run around the yard and play with his all his toys and his new STAF canine buds.

His past may be a mystery, but STAF is going to do our best to make sure his future is certain- a long happy life in a loving home!

Cornelius needs: An active home to burn puppy energy

Cornelius’ estimated birth date is April 2017

Please see our homepage for visiting hours and adoption details.

All of our animals are spayed/neutered and current on shots.

Visit our website www.staf.org to download our application.

We do not do same-day adoptions; we ask that you return for a follow-up visit before taking an animal home.

You must be 21 years or older to adopt a dog from STAF

We require a physical fence for homes with children under the age of 11. We also may require a physical fence for specific dogs on a case-by-case basis, depending on each dog's behavior and exercise needs.

Invisible fences - Due in part to increasing coyote activity/incidents in the area and the difficulty of predicting how a dog will respond to invisible fence training--we cannot adopt to homes with invisible fences unless otherwise noted in a dog's online profile.

We do request vet and personal references.

At this time, we are only able to consider applicants within 75 miles of Cincinnati.

Can’t adopt but want to help? You can make a difference! Our shelter is run entirely on volunteer-power and generous donations from animal-lovers like you. 100% of your contribution goes directly to caring for our 500+ furry residents. Thank you for your support.
