About Reina’s Breed:
Our best guess is that Reina is a Hound (likely Beagle) mixed breed. Beagle/hound mix puppies are joyful, curious, and full of classic hound charm. They tend to be social, playful, and eager explorers, using their noses to learn about the world and their cheerful energy to make every day feel fun. Most hound type mixes grow into affectionate, people oriented dogs who love being part of family life and thrive with gentle guidance as they learn their puppy basics.
Their ideal home is one that offers structure, patience, and plenty of activity. Beagle/hound puppies do best with families who enjoy playtime, daily walks, and positive reinforcement training — especially since hounds are often food motivated and quick learners. They flourish in environments where they can explore safely, practice good manners, and enjoy companionship. A home with kids, other dogs, or an active household can be a great fit, but they also do well with adults who appreciate a sweet, energetic puppy ready to grow into the “goodest” hound.
What to Love about Reina:
Reina loves to run around the backyard, chase toys, and explore her world with curiosity and excitement! When playtime is over, she’s a cuddly little sweetheart who can’t wait to grow up alongside a family and learn all the wonderful things about being a dog.
Reina does great with adults, and while she hasn’t met young children yet, her friendly, social nature suggests she’d likely enjoy them too and would likely be best with older, school-aged children. She’s making excellent progress with her potty training and crate training, though she may still have the occasional accident (even in her crate) as she learns. She’s very food motivated — a huge plus for future training — and she’s already showing how eager she is to be the goodest girl with guidance and patience! She gets along beautifully with the senior dog in her foster home and would likely love a playful canine companion, though she’d also thrive as an only pet soaking up all her family’s love. She hasn’t met cats yet but is open to a meet and greet. Reina enjoys her daily walks, is working on her leash skills, and has discovered her little hound voice — sometimes offering a cheerful bark to greet other dogs along the way. She’s a social butterfly who loves saying hello!
If you’re looking for a cute, soft, playful puppy who’s ready to learn, grow, and become an amazing family companion, Reina is your girl!
