FESTUS - BEAGLE DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Beagle. Adoption Fee: $300.00. ADOPTION PENDING The shelter record said Festus was "unwanted" by his owner, and he had to wait several months for his rescue. We WANTED this sweet, sensitive boy who is a bit scared of people at first. In the beginning he may keep his distance and possibly even hide, but he has learned what it is like to be wanted and loved now, so he is curious and watchful. If he sees other dogs getting love and attention he will gamble that he will receive kindness as well. Then he relaxes and will often run and play. Festus can get happy and excited, but mostly he is a mellow dog who likes to sit with his trusted human and be cuddled. He is quite friendly with the other dogs in his foster home, however he easily accepted that he is junior to them in the pack. His foster mom thinks that perhaps someone in his past may have punished Festus harshly. There are times when he is friendly and relaxed, but if something startles him or if she seems upset with him, he will run away, pace around quickly or run into his crate. Festus has exhibited good house manners and has done well with house training, but he has also been well supervised. On leash he does pull, but not too badly. His foster mom says that Festus has been a very easy dog to have around. We anticipate that Festus will be arriving in Florida mid-October. We also want to note that he was heartworm positive but has been recently treated. He will need to be on activity restriction and on some follow-up medication until the end of October.
