Adopting a Beagle is a big commitment. You can expect to have your new companion for up to 15 years and even longer in some cases. They require a lot of love, patience, understanding, consistency and training. A dog is a big financial commitment, especially as they age and vet visits become more common or if an emergency visit is required.
