The Beagle was developed in England to hunt rabbits and hares in packs, following scent trails with remarkable noses.
Beagles are merry, friendly, and curious. Their distinctive bay and howl helped hunters follow them.
Care Tips
Beagles need daily walks and a secure yard, since they love to follow their noses. Keep food out of reach.

Is This Breed Right for You?
Before bringing home any dog, think about your space, schedule, budget, and activity level. Meet the dog in person, ask about energy and grooming needs, and consider an adult dog whose personality is already known. Ohio shelters and breed rescues often have purebred dogs and loving mixes waiting for homes.
Health and Training
Schedule a veterinary checkup soon after adoption, keep vaccines and parasite prevention current, and ask about health screenings common to the breed. Positive reinforcement training and early socialization help every dog become a confident, well mannered companion.
