Chevy, beagle and hound mix
Chevy is a darling male beagle and hound mix currently residing at Tampa Bay Beagle Rescue Inc.
He is already neutered, and he has all his shots. He's mastered his house-training etiquette.
Notes from Chevy's caretakers:
Chevy came to TBBR as a very skinny stray. We think he had a tough life. Despite his background, he enjoys being with people. He is the quietest beagle his foster parents have ever met! He loves going for walks with them, but would love to have a forever home. With dogs, it's a different story. He's like a grumpy old man when interacting with them. Chevy is a gentle soul and he deserves to find a good home that gives him love. He will make a loyal companion for someone. Could it be you?
