MONROE - BEAGLE / BASSET HOUND / MIXED DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Beagle / Basset Hound / Mixed. A HANDSOME FRIENDLY FELLOW: Approx. 10 years old / Approx. 40 lbs. & needs to lose weight Hi there, I’m Monroe! I came to Mostly Mutts from animal control, and I’m thrilled to be here getting a 2nd chance at finding a great home! I needed bloodwork before my neuter surgery, and I had that done thanks to a generous grant from The Grey Muzzle Organization! Now I’m ready to find my furever family! Perhaps it’s you? I’m currently in a great foster home while I wait for my furever family to find me. • OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: I met some dogs recently at Mostly Mutts and was interested, although I didn’t want to play with them, I also didn’t show any aggression. I preferred the more mellow dogs I met, so if you have a nice, mellow dog at home, let’s meet and see if we can be pals. / I met a cat while visiting a temp. foster home and I was unsure, but not aggressive. / I met two nice boys around 8 and 10 years old at Mostly Mutts and liked them. I even didn’t mind when they rode a scooter near me, so a home with kids ages 10 and up could be a good fit for me. Let’s meet! • PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL: I’m a sweet, gentle boy who loves people and has a friendly nature. Like many dogs of my breed mix, I’m also quite vocal, so I’ll do best in a home where I can sing my songs without bothering any neighbors. No apartment/condo type home please. I came in very stressed, but once I had time to settle, my calm and loving side started to shine. I was even a champ for my bath, leaning into the soothing massage and ear cleaning like it was a spa day. I’m a hefty guy but working hard on losing some weight using the green bean diet, and I’m already proud of my 3-pound weight loss. With love, patience, and a cozy home, I know I’ll thrive. / Energy level: 4-6. • SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY: I know the ‘sit’, ‘come’, and ‘place’ commands and I bet you can teach me even more! / I don’t love being in my crate, and I can be loud when in it. Luckily, I haven’t really needed one in my foster home. / My potty habits are good in my foster home, where I enjoy 3-4 walks a day to potty and sniff around. Hopefully that’ll be the case in my new home, too! • LIKES/DISLIKES: I love spending time in the great outdoors sniffing all the wonderful scents! I also really enjoy soaking up all the scratches around my head and ears – feels so good! I also love a good game of fetch, followed by some belly rubs and a nice nap. I’m sure we’ll discover lots of other things we enjoy doing together! / I don’t like being picked up. Otherwise, I’m sure I wouldn’t like it if I didn’t get enough love, attention, exercise, and training. • MEDICAL: I'm current on annual vaccinations, micro-chipped and neutered. I recently started on a low dose of anxiety medication, to help me with some shelter stress I’ve been experiencing. I’m on an over-the-counter joint supplement that is good for all older dogs. I have moderate tartar on my teeth, so my adoptive family should consult with their vet and consider a dental cleaning in the future. Be sure to ask about my green bean diet so I can continue to lose weight in my new home. I’m looking for a great family that loves the hound dog vocal breed mix! My adoption fee is $299.00, and I’m located in Kennesaw, Ga.
