Horatio is a sweet, curious and playful dog. He is for sure a beagle as his nose is constantly on the go. Horatio has done very well with being potty trained and does  well on walks with his harness and leash. He will let us know if he has to go outside and scratch on the door. Horatio is quiet and does not bark unless he sees a rabbit outside or when he initially goes in his crate for bedtime or when we leave the house. But he is getting much better with his crate and his crying lessens each day/night.  We believe he may have some separation anxiety. Horatio loves to be your shadow, he will be by your side at all times.  Horatio is amazing with our current dog and any dog he meets on his walks. We have not had any interaction with cats. He also has not had interaction with kids, but don’t foresee them being an issue.  He will need some basic training such as learning to not jump up on counters, but he is very receptive to learning if there’s treats involved. If you’re looking for a mixture of an active dog but also a napping buddy, Horatio is your guy!

Horatio is heartworm positive.  Horatio can be adopted during his treatment if the adopter is local to Tampa Bay.

All of our animals are sterilized, microchipped, vaccinated, and tested/treated for heartworm disease before adoption.
