Hi! I'm Cinnamon, an 11 year old beagle enjoying my retirement. I spent the first eight years of my life in a breeding facility and then as a research animal at the U of I. My pawrents adopted me in 2022 at the beginning of my well-earned retirement. 

I enjoy good butt scratches, sniffing every single thing possible, and fast food drive throughs. If I am not lounging at home attempting to steal dinner, you can find me at the U of I campus going for trots or just sniffing around my neighborhood. 

I am an extremely lovable pup, although my pawrents sometimes call me demon spawn if there is ice cream to be had. I am one of my vet's favorite patients, and newspapers have referred to me as both "demure" and "humble". I have a small fan club, although membership is steadily growing. 

I have particpated in Mutt Strutt for serveral years now, because adoption and fostering are close to my heart, right next to McDonald's french fries. I am extremely grateful to have been adopted into my loving home, and I want to help my fellow hounds find their furever homes. Lab animals are not often thought of as potential pets when they are retired, and I like serving as an embassador.

If you would like to keep up with my adventures, check out my Instagram page https://www.instagram.com/cinnbeagle/ which is managed by my pawrents without pay, at least until I start getting those brand deals.
