❣️ADOPTED TOGETHER❣️

Ok of all the pairs that need to stay together.. these 2 NEED to stay together!! 🤞😭
Just look at those pictures. Bentley & Izzy need a new home ASAP due to family medical issues. Their owners are devastated to do so but unfortunately they can’t care for them anymore.

Izzy is a 5 yr old spayed female half Beagle
& Bentley is an 8yr old neutered male Beagle. The duo are not good with cats but
love people and are good with kids. They have been around other dogs and been fine.

All they really need is love, attention and each other. They are so bonded. They are house pets who have never been used for hunting. A fenced in yard is a must as they are typical Beagle wanderers!

The pair will soon loose their home so please share and tag anyone who might be interested! Help Izzy & Bentley find a new home fast! 🙏❤️

Dear Dog Guardians

Fireworks may light up the sky, but they also terrify animals—especially those without a home to feel safe.

While we welcome the New Year with joy, let’s remember the little souls who face the night with fear. Instead of fireworks, buy pet food for a shelter animal.

Together, we can make the world a safer, kinder place for them. 🐶✨

In addition to the tips below, give your dog CalmEze Plus, Nutricalm, or prescription vet medication to help your dog cope better.
