NESW!! My name is Patsy.  I am a gorgeous little one year old tri-color girl.  I love the car, walking on a leash could be lots of fun – I just need a little more practice.  I love people and currently play with a Doberman and a Beagle – boy do we love to gang up on Hunter, the Beagle.  I am housebroken, very nosey in the house being ever diligent for any pieces of foods.  I cry a bit in the crate, but will not say a word if my crate is in your bedroom.  My foster mom says one word to describe me is baby.  I just love to be held and rocked and will just kiss and kiss you in return.  I need someone to protect me and teach me all about the good things in life.  Looking for one of the sweetest little baby Beagles ever – well look no more.This is Patsy – she’s from rural Virginia. She’s lovey-dovey and her tails wags non-stop. AND she’s only 18lbs!

We’ll know more about her when she moves to a foster home. So stay tuned.

Adoption pending!

Quick update from Mollie’s foster mom: Lubby dubby. Kissy, kissy.  Mollie has become a very affectionate dog over the past few weeks.  She has a lot of love and happy companionship to give.  You could be the object of her affection!

Update:  She is wary of the vacuum, but was brave enough to go up and nip it!

Mollie was well cared for by her previous owner.  Unfortunately,  she couldn’t keep her when she went into assisted living.  Mollie is very sweet and very good company.  She wants to be where I am and she is always ready to go for a walk.  She lets me know when she wants to go out for a walk or needs to go out back for a bathroom break by being vocal.   After our morning walk, she can tell when I am ready to leave for work.  She very politely goes to sit in her crate and waits for her treat.  She stays in a crate durig the day for up to eight hours.  When I get home, she greets me with barking and howling to let me know it is time to take her for a walk!  She goes in the car very well and has stayed with me at my Mother’s house on the weekend sometimes.  She does have some anxiety if I have to leave her there to run an errand for my Mother and always greets me heartily when I return.  She lets me know when someone is close to the house.

Princess has been with us for a month and has completely settled in and adjusted easily to our routine.   She obviously lived in a home.  Princess (who we also call Precious) arrived housetrained and familiar with the pet door.  She loves to go outside and sit on our decks,  roll in the grass, sniff the entire yard,  and check on what is going on outside; but she is also very happy hanging out in the house.  Princess takes her job of yard “critter” control seriously; the squirrels and rabbits now know they had better keep a look out for her – she is very fast!   She loves everyone she meets.   Princess is figuring out where she fits in with our three senior female beagles and senior female chihuahua.  She would love to play, but our pack of 13+ year old seniors are not interested.   Princess is extremely fearful of crates and will bark/howl if in one.  However, we never saw a need to crate her since she is so well behaved in the house.  Since her arrival, she has had complete run of the house.   Princess is an independent beagle; she doesn’t require constant attention and is content to be by herself or hanging out with her “people”. Surprisingly, she isn’t overly worried about food and eating!  She is about 10 pounds overweight, and we are working on helping her slim down.  Princess is absolutely beautiful with such soulful eyes.  She is a wonderful dog.  Princess truly deserves her “own” people and her “own” loving home where she can be spoiled.

Princess, 5-6yr old liver tri-color, fully vetted.  She is friendly, can be vocal, a little plump, low key and good with other dogs.  She came to the Abingdon Shelter already spayed but was a stray.  She was mostly likely someone’s pet and is most indignant with kennel life!  She really thinks she is a little princess!!!

January 26, 2013: Leah first came to us in early September, 2012. She was adopted in December but was returned in January, 2013. The adopter was unable to deal with the steps necessary to the retraining of an adult dog.

Leah is a young adult beagle. She is very active and agile and is interested in everything around her. She thinks it her duty to explore everywhere. Although ~30 lbs she still wants to be a lap dog and will happily cuddle.

Leah is very affectionate with people and other dogs. She loves to roll around on her back and her long legs flail around with abandon. She wants to play and will grab anything she can get and run away, hoping someone will follow her. Her two foster sisters are seniors and couch potatoes that either ignore her or send her away most of the time; she doesn’t give up but keeps going back to try for playtime

She has not yet been tested with children. Given she doesn’t seem to recognize her own strength, she should not be around smaller children without constant supervision. Leah will stay in the crate but doesn’t like it and has to be urged to go into it. Once there she is quiet as long as there is someone around; if I leave she tends to howl and bark.

Leah is food driven; she is learning to sit for her meals and treats and will follow me while I feed the other dogs, then follow back into the kitchen for her food. She is not above grabbing food from any source and is a typical beagle in that respect. Leah is very smart and if bored can get into trouble.

We have a dog door into a fenced back yard and Leah likes being able to go out at will. She was housetrained when she came here and had accidents only when I wasn’t paying attention to her signals. She will walk and do bathroom chores on the leash. She wants to check out everything around her and needs leash training. She likes riding in the car in her crate.

While we don’t know where Leah came from, she was immediately at home in the house; none of the normal household noises bother her. She is not afraid of thunder and is good when my resident senior beagle gets scared. Leah likes to sleep on the bed or cuddle up in the numerous dog beds where she can see the household.

Leah will make a great addition to a couple or family who are active and willing to spend time with her.

Leah is a 3-4yr old black/tan female that is fully vetted.  She is friendly and good with other dogs but was a stray in Madison Co. so her history is unknown.

Kipper is a wonderful 30 lb beagle boy who came to us from Virginia on December 18. He traveled well and kept his crate clean and dry. For the first few days he was with us, Kipper was very skittish with me and with his foster beagle sister. He’s still submissive but seems to be gaining confidence as he realizes he’s now part of a family. Although his behavior makes me think he was a pet (maybe an outdoor pet), he’s definitely not familiar with things like the noise from TV or seeing his reflection in glass. It doesn’t scare him but it does get his attention. For his first few nights here, he slept in the crate without any difficulty. The few times he felt a need to go outside he barked to get my attention. For the last week, Kipper has mostly been sleeping on the bed with his foster sister and me; sometimes he comes out to the living room and sleeps on one of the dog beds there.

I crate him while I’m away and he’s kept his crate dry and hasn’t tried to eat the crate pad or the crate. Kipper doesn’t go into the crate on command (he is just getting used to his name) but will go in without a fuss and quickly settles down.

Housetraining has not been a problem. Except for a few accidents at the very beginning, he uses the dog door at will and will gladly go out on the leash as well. Any time I tell him to go out to potty, he does so without complaint. He loves to walk and to ride in the car where he usually falls asleep. A visit to the vet went very well; he allowed them to handle him and clean his ears even though he was obviously nervous about these new people.

A true beagle, Kipper will try to counter surf any chance he gets and eats with enthusiasm; he’s shown no food aggression and will wait for his turn to get food and treats. If he thinks it’s time to eat, he will bark but doesn’t keep on about it. He’s learning about toys and loves to pull them all out of the box, after which he spreads them around the area. I’m now getting glimpses of the playful dog he lets out when he feels secure. Once or twice he showed inappropriate interest in an electrical cord; when told no he backed off and hasn’t shown any interest since.

So far, Kipper has not been exposed to children or cats; those are on the list just haven’t yet been accomplished. He shares the house well with his foster sister; they don’t cuddle on the same dog bed but neither do they fight over toys or water bowls. They are fed in the same room at the same time without trouble. Kipper doesn’t like any interruption from his foster sister when he’s getting one on one attention from a person. He’s not mean; for right now he just doesn’t want to share attention.

Kipper is a wonderful dog. As he settles in either here or with a forever family, I fully expect his anxiety about attention will disappear. In fact just last night he decided he wanted to sleep at the head of the bed rather than the foot. He didn’t try to run Amber off from her usual spot; he just made sure he got there first and counted on me to protect him. I did and we all had a peaceful night.

Kipper is a 6-7yr old neutered beagle boy. He’s friendly, submissive with people and gets along with other dogs. He was a stray at the Louisa County Animal Shelter so his history is unknown.

Turkey is such a handsome pup!

He eats well, plays well and is sweet as can be!

He loves to cuddle and would make a wonderful companion as he is very well socialized with people and dogs.  He sleeps all night in his crate and is doing most of his business outside like a good boy.

Like all beagle puppies, he is high energy! Seriously, we’re not kidding.

This is Stuffing, one of five siblings from the Thanksgiving litter. They’re all looking for their Forever Homes. Will that be you?

Also, keep mind, like all of these puppies, Stuffing high energy. He has two speeds: sleeping and 100mph. So if you’re looking for a medium-energy puppy – you’re barking up the wrong tree.
