ELSA III - BEAGLE DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Posted Breed: Beagle. Adoption Fee: $200. Elsa III is a 3yo, 18lb female beagle. She is HW negative and is medically ready to go to her new home... It just has to be a patient and loving home. Elsa is still very skittish, she cowers at the sound of running water. She runs away every time you try to pet her, you have to let her come to you. She will eventually warm up to you, but you can't make any sudden movements if you want her attention. She would be best in a quiet relaxing household. Elsa is an extremely sweet timid dog that just needs time to warm up and adjust to her new home. She has had accidents in the house, but we believe it's due to her new surroundings and new routine. We couldn't categorize her as completely housebroken, but she really does want to please and knows she has to go outside, she doesn't understand that we need her to go before we leave the house. Though I believe she would not be aggressive towards cats or kids, she would hide under a table for hours if anyone was too loud or chased her. She gets along great and is pretty indifferent towards her two senior foster beagle siblings. She does exhibit a wanting to play, but she doesn't really know how. She has not barked or howled yet, she is crate trained, and her foster parents leave her crate open, because it is a safe haven for her. She is a picky eater which is unusual for a beagle, she will only eat the wet food out of her wet/dry food combo. She will go days without eating if just given dry dog kibble, so she might be a little more expensive to feed because you have to feed her wet food. She has tried and been almost successful at wiggling out of her harness while walking, so she needs an over the head tight harness for walks. We are looking for a calm, quiet, patient household for this sweetheart of a dog!
