UPDATE 4/12/23 - Cletus is everything you expect from a Beagle. He's incredibly cute, soft and adorable. He gobbles down his food & is a great eater and very treat motivated. He's crate trained with occasional puppy accidents overnight and house trustworthy. He LOVES his human toddler sister. He even brings her baby toys and his toys to share. He adores being cuddled, handled and held. He uses a slow feeder bowl - well - simply because he has a Beagle appetite. He's fed in the crate. When his humans are home, he has free roam of the house. He's doing great on his house training and only when his humans don't pay attention to his signals does he have an accident. He is taken out about every two hours when his humans are home and is doing really well with house training. So far he's been crated at most about 4 hours and has done ok. He is crated overnight and does well. He's NOT an escape artist. He enjoys his foster home's fenced yard and is currently getting short leashed walks and enjoys every moment of them. For a puppy, he's calm. He plays with the resident dog and shares toys easily. He's not very noisy and when he does bray, it's quite petite. He's desribed as a "velveteen" Beagle. Cletus is VERY tolerant and enjoys his 3 year old human sister. He snuggles up against the toddler, doesnt jump up on her. Cletus is a tiny boy looking for the most amazing family where he can simply be who he is. Cletus does have two medical conditions that are easily managed. He's diabetic and gets two shots of insulin a day and two anti-seizure pills a day. He handles all of this, plus insulin testing like a pro - it's almost like the enjoyment of the handling outweighs any thoughts of the medical testing & injections. Here's the great news - his medical support is easy and inexpensive - his foster Mom is more than willing to show you how to support him. He currently gets tested twice a day that requires a dog diabetis insulin tester with strips, two insulin injections a day, spaced precisely 12 hours a part with a one hour flex and twice a day anti-seizure pills. Absent the cost of the testing meter and strips, the monthly cost to support a full and productive life for Cletus is about $22 ($8/month for Novolin Insulin, Phenobarbitol, 30 mg, $9/month and 2 needles a day - one month $5 - all through Walmart). There are so many ideal homes out there, it would be difficult to describe them here - if you're willing and able to provide the medical support to Cletus - let's talk about him fitting into your home. You don't want to miss out on this amazing family member.
Cletus has experienced a lot in his first year of life. In December 2022 at about 7 or 8 months old, he was found shivering in a Louisiana ditch with a sibling who unfortunately did not survive. Cletus received excellent medical care while with our foster in Louisiana and came to Florida in March. He is now ready for his forever home.

Cletus has juvenile diabetes and epilepsy --both conditions are well managed with medication, monitoring, nutrition and a structured routine. His new family will need to have the knowledge and willingness to manage these lifelong conditions. An investment and commitment to maintaining his medical care is necessary for Cletus to thrive. Our Adoption Team can provide more detailed information.
Cletus did exceptionally well in both of his foster homes and is very sweet natured. He is a happy pup with a calm and affectionate disposition. It does of course still get puppy zoomies! He does well with other dogs and enjoys playing with them, but he also loves snuggling in a human's lap. Cletus is also respectful of cats and young children.
