Hot Rod is a new member of the BREW pack. He came to us from the Planned Pethood shelter in Rocky Mount, Virginia.  Hot Rod is a little guy who weighs in at a solid 22 pounds.  He is very energetic (of course he’s been living in a crate!) as can be expected of a 1 year young beagle.  He loves people and seems OK with big dogs.  He met a Cane Corso at the vet’s office (who had to outweigh him by 60 pounds) and they got along fine.  He is fully vetted.

I’m available and looking for a foster home!

She had been fostered in Rocky Mount where they found that she was house trained and good with both animals and children. She is a little shy at first but she warms up to her people quickly. She is fully vetted and ready to move to a foster home or her furever home anytime.

Lexi is a 1 to 1 ½ year old spayed tri-color female beagle.  She is a sweet and lovable little girl who is full of energy.  She spent 6 months in a shelter before coming to her foster home and has been there about one month where she is doing very well.  She did come with very dry skin, but since she has been on a better diet it has all, but cleared up.  She appears to have a spring allergy; she coughs and sneezes a bit, but medication seems to have taken care of this as well.  The first few days she had a hard time with potty training, but once she got the idea she has been perfect.

She has learned to use a doggie door and goes in and out to a fenced backyard when need be, but prefers to be around someone. Loves to play, but she can play rough barking and nipping at your hands and face.  For this reason I don’t think she would be good in a house with small children.  She will lie quietly when no one has time to give her attention, but is ready to go at the drop of hat when you’re ready to play or go for a walk.  When going for a walk it is tail up and nose to the ground in true beagle style.  She can get aggressive while walking, barking and pulling when another dog/ animals come in site.  I have not yet socialized her with other dogs, so I can’t say how she would react in close proximity with another dog.  She does bark at just about anything that moves out doors. She has separation anxiety when left at home or in the car, but calms down in a couple of minutes.

Lexi likes to ride in the car with her noise out the window from time to time to get some fresh air.  At bedtime she wants to be in bed with you and prefers to sleep covered up.   During the night she will come out from under the covers and a little later goes back under, sometimes she just pokes her head out and looks just like a person sleeping in bed.  She does like to tear up tissues and cardboard from trash cans.

Please welcome Ike to the BREW team.  Ike was an owner give up in Morgantown, WV.  He was with a family of 3 who had a home with no running water or heat.  When Child Protective Services was callled in to rescue the child, they convinced the family to give up Ike.  Ike is about 18 months old and weighs in at a healthy 25 pounds.  He is very friendly with dogs (he greets dogs large and small with sniffing  and tail wagging).   He approaches strangers by jumping up on their knees to be petted.  He’s a wonderful dog who traveled well for over 2 hours to get to BREW.  Seems to understand “sit”, at least when there’s a treat involved.
