Gabriel is the first born of Angel Charles, making his appearance well after dinner on Thanksgiving night. He has the most white markings of his siblings. Beagle puppies are born black and white. We expect him to be tri-color like his mom. Gabriel will be staying with his mom until 8 weeks of age and will not be adopted out until he has been neutered.

It's hard to look past the cute, but rest assured that adopting a puppy is not for the faint of heart. Before Gabriel reaches his first birthday he will eat your sofa, pee on your Persian rug (multiple times), and turn your yard into a lunar landscape. It's hard not to be sucked in by the cute factor, but please give careful consideration to whether you are up to the challenge a puppy will impose on your home for the next several months. They require as much diligence as a human baby to keep them out of harm's way - as well as keeping your belongings out of harm's way. Puppies require loving patience (never physical discipline) as they learn what is acceptable behavior and what is not. Gabriel will not always be young, healthy and cute. He will one day be gray around his eyes, may limp with arthritis and need long term medications. He needs a home that will be committed to him for his ENTIRE life - which will likely be 14-15 years or more.

If you are interested in adopting Gabriel, you may submit an application now, but we WILL NOT allow him to go to his new home until he is weaned and neutered - in February. Preference will be given to those with puppy experience, and we discourage the placement of puppies in apartments due to the noise and activity level of young dogs. Your neighbors will thank us.
