Adopt a Beagle / Dachshund / Mixed (medium coat)
Violet the Dog needs a home
All our dogs are spayed/neutered and fully vetted. Senior dogs receive extra bloodwork and we try to do dental cleanings on any dogs that need them. Most of the dogs in our care are crate-trained and cat tested. We test with kids when we can. Our process can seem involved and long - we appreciate your patience. Adopting a dog is not like buying a candy bar in the checkout lane; it should never be a last-minute decision or one that is not fully thought out.
Violet is an eight-year-old beagle/dachshund mix. She has a very funny personality, and her facial expressions are not to be missed. While she’s not a super cuddly dog, Violet adores her people and is never far from her foster mom’s side.
In April 2017, we received an emergency message from our local animal shelter about a small beagle mix. It was suspected that she had been hit by a car because she couldn’t use her back legs. Upon arriving at Atlanta Beagle Rescue, the vet found that Violet’s “injuries” were actually degenerative disc disease, and this condition was not new. Violet was also positive for heartworms, but she successfully underwent treatment and is now negative. With the dedication and care of her foster family, Violet has gained back about 75% functioning in her back legs. She will need ongoing care to maintain her gains in her forever home with laser therapy and water therapy. Due to her disc disease, Violet is not 100% housebroken and may never be. However, she is crate-trained and also does well with diapers. Despite these limitations, Violet is healthy!
Violet is looking for a very special home that understands her unique personality and ongoing health needs. She would do best in a kid-free home where someone is around during the day or can take her to work with them. Violet is an amazing little lady and she can’t wait to find her forever home!
