Description
Dog Breed: Beagle. Sprite is still searching for her forever home… After spending three months in her foster home, this is what we know about Sprite To adopt Sprite, you must have…. 1.) At least one woman in the house 2.) A fenced-in backyard 3.) Stable, consistent routine 4.) Preferably not crated all day 5.) Would like a dog friend, but not required After watching Sprite’s mannerisms and interaction with people, and with the help of veterinarians who attended to Sprite, it has been suggested that Sprite was tested on in a laboratory. It seems whoever tested on her were primarily men. When her foster mom comes to her crate to feed her, she is joyous and welcomes her. When Sprite’s foster dad comes to her crate, she cowers and sits the furthest back as she can. We believe crating her all day with only a man coming to let her out will remind her of our trauma. Sprite pees in place whenever you put her harnesses on her, so taking her on walks is a messy situation. Once her harness and leash are on, she will not walk; she will plant herself and cower in place. She will have lots of accidents in the house if she does not have a fenced-in backyard. Sprite sleeps in a crate at night, and when her foster family runs errands, there has been little to no barking. If you approach Sprite, there is a chance she will pee in place, but if she approaches you, she would love cuddles and pets. Sprite is young and has energy to get out, so she loves to run and play with other dogs. However, she is terrified of loud noises, so we don’t think a home with kids would be good for her. She gets scared when the ice dispenser dispenses ice. She is starting to approach the male human in the house, and she is letting him pet her. There is never any aggression; her defense mechanism is peeing on you if you pick her up. Sprite needs time and patience in a loving home. Are you the right home for Sprite?

Overview:
The Beagle is a beloved scent hound with a rich history, originally bred in England for hunting hare and rabbit. Their most recognizable physical traits include a sturdy, compact build, adorable floppy ears, and soulful brown or hazel eyes. Beagles typically weigh between 18-30 pounds and stand 13-16 inches tall, featuring a smooth, dense coat that comes in a variety of tri-color or bi-color patterns. In terms of temperament, they are known for being exceptionally friendly, curious, and outgoing, making them wonderful companions for families with children and other pets. However, their strong prey drive and inclination to follow interesting scents mean they require a securely fenced yard and consistent leash training. While adaptable, their need for exercise and tendency to vocalize (howl!) makes them less ideal for small apartment living unless daily walks and mental stimulation are guaranteed. Regarding health, Beagles can be prone to certain conditions like hip dysplasia, epilepsy, and intervertebral disc disease, making responsible breeding and regular veterinary check-ups important.
