They say an apple a day keeps the doctor away, but you won't want to keep this Doc away.

Say hello to Doc, formerly known as Bodie. Doc is a very sweet 1 ? year old beagle mix that has been neutered and is up to date on vaccinations. Doc was adopted out from Heartland in February 2023 at 12-weeks to a family with children and other dogs. He loved his family but now he is scared and confused. He was returned to Heartland because his family had to move and were not able to take Doc with them. Doc is potty trained, loves to run and play and is good with other dogs and children. He has no history of interaction with cats. Doc is a beautiful dog who is missing his home and a family to love on. Doc is also missing the love and attention a family can give him. Keep an eye on Heartland’s website so you don’t miss adopting this lifetime friend.
