Adam – 8 year old male Beagle Cross

Adam is a 8 year old male Beagle Cross. He is the happiest boy ever and will bring so much joy to a family. He is a Beagle mix from Cyprus and is approximately eight years of age. We think that Adam ended up in the outskirts of the city after the fire in the mountains in Cyprus which displaced a lot of companion animals. He seemed street smart and confident trotting about the roads on his own, so we think he’s used to roaming about as and when he pleases.

Adam found his way literally to the door of one of our rescue partners, and obviously she welcomed him with open arms. He was happy to see people who immediately treated him with kindness and he waltzed in to meet all of her other dogs and cats as though he was an old friend.

Adam’s preliminary vet checks showed that he was slightly anaemic but that he was also positive for Leishmania. Leish is a long term health condition caused by the bite of an infected sandfly. It is not transferrable to other dogs in the UK as our weather is too cold for the sandfly in question. With a supportive vet, inexpensive medication and routine bloodwork, Leishmania can be managed well and dogs go on to live a happy to healthy life. Of course, we can provide more information upon request about Leish and Adam’s specific case. Adam has no visible symptoms of Leish and is fit and healthy now that he’s in a foster home, and he’s even being cooked for – spoilt!

Although he’s a hound mix, Adam hasn’t shown any issues with the cats he lives alongside, but they keep to themselves and are comfortable around dogs. He plays fantastically with other pups of all shapes and sizes and is a very sociable, friendly and active dog. His best friend is Andrew and he could play with him for hours on end.

He loves wriggling about on the sofa, and also likes to stand on the outside table and observe everything from a height, like a little mountain goat. He travels well in the car, he has no issues with meeting new people, and he’s well behaved at the vets. He does pull a bit on the lead but we think it’s because he’s not really used to lead walking, so that’s an area that might need some additional work.

 

Adam is always so happy to have a new person to meet and laps up the opportunity for strokes and cuddles at any given chance, he would make such a wonderful family companion and would love a home with a garden and a fairly active lifestyle. He is such a loving, loyal dog and we’re already feeling envious about whoever gets to welcome this sweet character into their home!
