Puma

Meet sweet PUMA who just arrived! Puma is a beautiful 1.5 year old, 35 pound, black and tan beagle mix. She is shy but warms up and is friendly; she may do best with another dog to help her build her confidence! Puma gets along well with other dogs, and ignores the kitties. Puma lost her way in rural North Carolina and was so frightened that she had to be trapped; we can not understand why her people did not look for or retrieve such a sweet dog from the NC shelter. The shelter let us know that although frightened she was a very sweet submissive dog and warmed up, especially on walks with other dogs. They were overcapacity and urged PetConnect Rescue to pull her because she was in danger; PetConnect was able to bring her to the DC area because a great foster offered to give her a place to hangout so she could find her new home that will adore her furever. Puma already is making progress overcoming her shyness. In the comfort of her foster home, she has learned how good it can be to have a nice soft dog bed! She likes to go for walks, is a great size, and is a "quiet" beagle mix, with an adorable very expressive face and eyes. Puma would be a great companion to curl up at your feet on a summer evening. ***Please note that the first step is to fill out an application (It does not commit you in anyway but allows us to discuss with you if you and the dog are a good fit). In addition, an important step in approving adoption applicants is to complete a vet check to ensure that your current and previous pet(s) are kept up to date on vaccines (including rabies ) , spayed or neutered, maintained on appropriate monthly preventatives and examined annually by your vet.*** Puma is neutered and up-to-date on vaccines. The adoption fee for this dog is $425 which includes routine vetting and spay/neuter. PetConnect Rescue cannot guarantee the exact breed of any animal in our care. The breed listed is based on any background we may have been provided, and the general appearance of the animal at the time they enter our system.
