LOCATION: Foster Home
ADOPTION COORDINATOR: Mary Beth
ADOPTION FEE: $475. This fee INCLUDES spay/neuter and microchip. **Ask me about our many adoption benefits that include free exams, pet insurance, training and other discounts!
ESTIMATE WEIGHT FULL GROWN: 23 lbs
KNOWN WITH DOGS: Donut is GREAT with other dogs! He loves another pup around, though sometimes encourages mischief when left alone, so it is often good to have him crated when left alone.
KNOWN WITH CATS: Donut has not met cats BUT shared a home with A guinea pig that he completely ignored.
KNOWN WITH KIDS: Donut is not a good candidate to share a home with kids. However the occasional visit is ok. He does not food or resource guard to adults, but will protect and growl towards kids if they go towards his food bowl or other valuable items.
KNOWN COMMANDS: Still gathering information on this! Stay tuned!
KNOWN HOUSEBREAKING AND/OR CRATING: Donut is house broken and crate trained! He has an accident on occasion when left for too long. If you have another dog in the home he may mark initially, but he did not again once the initial exploration of the fosters home was complete. We would recommend having him in a belly band as he settles in the house to prevent this, and then once he adjusts to the space after a couple days its easy to remove. We can talk more about this one on one if you're interested and have questions!!!
KNOWN LIKES: We hope to gain more info on his likes upon arrival!
KNOWN DISLIKES: Donut does not like sharing a home with kids.
ABOUT THIS ANIMAL:
Donut is an absolute sweetheart!!! He's a big cuddle bug and really loves being with other people.
Donut LOVES being in a home with another dog! He's not great sharing a home with kids but is ok if they visit on occasion. He likes his space.
He's great in the house BUT can get into mischief at times so its great to crate him when you leave or have him in a spot where mischief can be limited. Beagles just LOVE to explore and get into trouble with his nose!!!
