Bagel was a stray in Bremer County, Iowa. He did not have a microchip and he did not get claimed. His time was up so Waverly Pet Rescue took him in. Bagel is now up to date on shots, heartworm negative, and neutered.

Bagel is about a year old and weighs around 50 pounds. He is very friendly with people. Absolutely loves belly rubs. Think he could lay there all day to get them if you let him. He does not get along with all dogs. There are some he plays really well with and others he wants to pick on. Would definitely introduce him to another dog if you have one before you decide to adopt him. He is young yet and has a lot of energy and likes to chew on things. If he is playing, getting love, or occupied with bones and chews, he does good. He is good in his kennel. He needs a family who can keep him busy with lots of love and attention.

Bagel had a hot spot on his rear end, when found as a stray. A Hot spot is usually caused by bacteria and moisture. Since he had fleas and did a lot of licking and chewing at his rear end, that is most likely the cause. He also has some scabbed areas on his back that are healing or healed. His hot spots are healing nicely.

Bagel needs a fenced in yard to keep him safe so this fence is required. With his beagle breed, he is a flight risk so you will also want him on a leash at all times when not in that fenced in yard.

Will someone please adopt Bagel and give him a forever home? $175.00 adoption fee.
