From Southern Nevada Beagle Rescue Foundation

McKinley found herself in a cold and frightening shelter environment, where her chances of being adopted were slim. The stress and fear caused her to decline rapidly. She began showing clear signs of fear and anxiety, and when staff attempted to handle her, she responded with fear-based aggression — something that is fairly common in highly stressed dogs. McKinley simply needed a chance to learn that people can be trusted. When we pulled her from the shelter, she was not immediately comfortable with us. She would not allow petting or handling and snapped when we tried. Through calm voices, patience, and a slow approach, she gradually began to relax. After about an hour, she allowed gentle petting for the first time. We believe McKinley is going to be just fine. She needs a patient family who will give her time and a gentle introduction to her new life. She also needs to lose some weight, and we will continue assessing her progress and update her bio as she settles in and gains confidence. Adoption fee is $250 which helps cover all of the medical for all of the dogs in the rescue. All dogs are spayed/neutered, vaccinated and micro chipped and many have received further treatment…

In the rescue's own words, as they published it.

How adopting McKinley works

Southern Nevada Beagle Rescue Foundation decides every adoption: its application, its fee, its home check and its timing. Everybarn only shows this animal on the rescue's behalf, takes no payment and passes no messages.
