FRANCIS - BEAGLE (MEDIUM COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Posted Breed: Beagle (medium coat). This is Francis, she’s a Beagle born 12/7/23. Francis has come so far! From not letting us touch her at all the first two weeks to not wanting to let us out of her sight, she is definitely thriving. She loves all cats and wants to play and wrestle with them. Thankfully our cat is quite tolerant of her and likes to play back. She will stop if he yowls to let her know she's getting too rough. She's been around other dogs outside and will be curious for a bit and then ignore them and go about her business. Her favorite person is my boyfriend's 8 year old boy. She adores him! She will stand at the bedroom door when he is sleeping in, chase him all over and doesn't mind in the least when he picks her up in awkward positions and hauls her around. He is actually the reason why she finally warmed up to us. He came to visit for a weekend and that was it, no more shyness with us! Her favorite treat is popcorn - good luck keeping it to yourself and not sharing with her. We like to just throw a handful on the floor so she has to run around eating it... it takes her a little longer to get back to us to beg for more! We're still working on potty training... though I truly believe the issues are more due to our living arrangement (apartment). If Francis were in a house where she could be kenneled during the day if her people aren't at home she does just fine - with the exception of barking the entire time she is in there when her people are gone. I can't say I blame her - she spent the first four months of her life in a kennel and has learned that life is much better when she can lounge on the couch and play with her cat friend. Francis has gotten to experience fenced in yards and trips up north to the cabin. She has been off leash outside at the cabin and doesn't go too much farther than the boundaries of the yard. I wouldn't suggest trying that though until she is very attached to you! She loves belly rubs and snuggling on the couch. She is still uncertain of new people and is not quick to warm up to others. Mostly that just means that when we have people over, she will go lay down in a corner and watch them. She is more wary of teenage/young girls. She hasn't done anything (besides barking at them and rumbling a little) but she doesn't want anything to do with them. We suspect that it was a young girl in charge of her in her previous situation and that they perhaps weren't very nice to her. We’ve been calling her Daisy and she responds to it. She will be wary of you when you first get her, but with patience, she will warm up and be the best, snuggliest dog you could ask for!
