9/9 TRANSFER RESCUE GRP
Handsome Homer (A895882) is a 2-year-old tricolor beagle/pittie mix who is beyond ready to leave kennel life behind! This striking boy, with his unique markings and floppy, adorable ears, has been overlooked since he arrived back in June. Like many hound mixes, Homer can be vocal, and shelter stress has him getting over-excited and barking when he sees other dogs. With his human pals, Homer shines, he’s active, attentive, and eager to please. He already knows “sit,” is learning to take treats gently, and is always ready for adventure. In playgroups, Homer has shown he’s more of a ladies’ man, preferring the company of female dogs. While the noisy, crowded shelter is wearing him down, his true self is that of a sweet, fun-loving young pup who wants nothing more than a family of his own. Homer has so much love to give and is waiting patiently (and sometimes not so patiently!) for someone to finally notice him. Could you be the one to give this overlooked boy his chance to flourish? Check out his videos below:

HOMER'S ADOPTION FEES HAVE BEEN WAIVED
Meet Homer – The Beagle Mix with a Big Heart and Even Bigger Opinions !
Don’t be fooled by his kennel karaoke — Homer’s not yelling at you, he’s serenading you with his very own version of “Pick Me, Pick Me !” (Bonus: it’s beagle-approved.)
This medium-sized bundle of energy is the total package: he’s got fetch skills, zoomies, and enough love to make your lap his permanent address — after he’s finished his daily cardio, of course.
Homer’s dream day? Morning jogs, mid-day squeaky toy marathons, evening snuggles, and a squirrel-free backyard (yep, he’s got some prey drive — feline friends need not apply).
He can get a little chatty on leash when other dogs are around, but with consistent training and exercise, he’s on his way to being a model walking buddy. If you’re looking for a funny, affectionate, slightly dramatic goofball to be your adventure sidekick and cuddle companion — Homer’s your guy.
Come meet him and see if you can resist that face. (Spoiler: you can’t.)
Homer has participated in shelter playgroups and may enjoy a compatible canine friend in his new home. Looking for a buddy for your dog? Bring him/her to the shelter for a meet and greet and see if we're a match! Check out his playgroup video here:
