I’m available!

Age: 3-4 years

Gender: Female

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.

I’ve been adopted!

Age: 6ish

Gender: Female

Update for 8/10: Maggie is back with BREW after being returned for getting in the trashcan.

Uh, newsflash: this is WHAT BEAGLES DO! If you want a beagle, you need to be prepared to move your trashcan. OR don’t get a beagle.

Update for 3/27:

Maggie has lost 4lbs and is down to 34lbs. She’s looking great! She loves to go on walks and does well on a leash.

Maggie was a stray found in the woods in WV back in November.  Some campers found her wandering .  She is super sweet and friendly.  Loves everybody and is crate-trained. Her original rescuers say she is housetrained.

Maggie needs to lose about 15lbs. She’s got hypothyroidism (low thyroid) so she’s carrying extra weight on her small frame. The medication to control her thyroid is unbelievably INexpensive.

I’ve Been Adopted!

Age: 2-3 years

Gender: Female

Willow is the perfect lady-in-waiting. She waits patiently for us to return home from work and is so happy to see us! She waits patiently and quietly for her food, she waits patiently and quietly at the back door, she waits anxiously at the front door for walks, but still quiet. She waits patiently and quietly curled up at my feet while I’m on the computer, or on my daughter’s bed while she is working on her computer. She is still waiting patiently for a forever home. Is she waiting for you and your family?

Willow is a very sweet, gentle, and loving girl. We believe she is a Cardigan Corgi and Beagle mix at 2-3 years old and 48 lbs. She is house-trained and great with other dogs (we’re not sure about cats). She is slow to warm up to strangers of all ages, but she is very friendly when she gets to know them, like the people around our block.

She loves to go for walks and practically gets her harness on herself! She readily goes pee on our walks and occasionally has pooped. She has learned a lot of things since being with us, like how to climb stairs, ‘sit’, ‘stay’, and recently ‘lay down’. She also learned a few things from our own 2 beagles, like how to ask for the door, bark at the mailman, and chase squirrels.

She loves to cuddle, explore the great outdoors, and rarely barks, unless she see’s a squirrel or the mailman! She makes a great body pillow when she stretches out! That’s the Corgi in her. She does not seem to have a beagle’s appetite, she likes her slim figure.

Willow did very well at the adoption day, she is low key and somewhat submissive.  She’s not a barker either!!!

Willow is a 2-3yr old spayed female.  She is super sweet, good with other dogs and does well with small children.  She was a stray in Abingdon, VA so her history is unknown.
