Meet Tally! This regal beagle mix is very laid back, sweet, and reserved. 

Although sweet seniors like Tally are often overlooked, they actually turn out to be the most obedient, mild-mannered and loving companions. You've "been there, done that" with puppy training, so it's time to skip to the best part: endless cuddles with the sweet soul you just rescued! She has not had any accidents in her foster home. She is left alone in a small part of the home and has not shown any signs of destruction.  She would prefer a home where someone is home more than not.

Tally would love a quiet home with not too much comotion or visitors. She would do best in an adult only home to spend her retirement years.  She can be slow to warm up to new people, but once you are in the club its snuggles and tail wags! Don't let her age fool you, she still has lots of spunk and play in her!  She enjoys the company of other dogs, but would also do well as an only dog. 

This lovable little lady is looking for the forever home she deserves. She dreams of living out her senior years as a full-time lap dog and couch potato, with a soft place to lay her head. Will you welcome her into your heart and home?
 

Tally and Taffy’s backstory: These two were found on an elderly gentleman’s front porch. He fed them and they stuck around because they were so hungry. He did his best to care for them by keeping them sheltered and fed in his chicken coop until animal rescuers could arrive to help.

An adoption donation is required for each adoption; please see   HERE   for more information about this.

**Additional info you should know - For most of our dogs, we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each of our dogs as an individual and do our best to describe and place them based on personality not breed label. Some dogs may not yet be in New England, nor ready for immediate adoption. There may be additional vetting, quarantine, waiting periods and/or fees depending upon your state of residence. If you have questions or concerns on any of this, you can discuss this with your Adoption Counselor.
