ZETA - BEAGLE DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Beagle. Adoption Fee: $250. Zeta is adorable and very affectionate. When Zeta is in a calm environment, she is very calm and quiet. Zeta snuggles close when we sit on the sofa to watch movies, and at bedtime. Zeta always wants to be nearby. She loves running outside.  Zeta sits nicely when I say “harness” for me to affix her snug harness and her leash before going out for walks. Walks well on a leash, while sniffing everything in our fenced yard. She starts running if there is a scent of last night’s creatures (rabbits, squirrels). Zeta’s head fit through the openings in our metal fence, in addition, she was trying to dig under it.  Zeta enjoyed running in the NC woods over Christmas when we visited my son, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren. Zeta loves being active outdoors so would benefit from a very secure fenced-in yard. Zeta walked with my granddaughters on a leash.  Loves climbing on the easy chairs and on the coffee table in front of the window so she can see any passing activity.  She is enthusiastic about food, but not aggressive. Will eat cheese and soft food, some kibbles. Takes Rx if inside a small meatball.  Zeta does her business outside once she has sniffed all new scents. Is Pee-pad trained inside when left alone while we go to the appointments or shopping.  Cuddles with her human on the sofa, watching movies or napping. At night, Zeta sleeps quietly on her nested blanket on the bed beside her human.  Actively curious. She does chew cardboard boxes. Chewed on my leather cell phone case which was on the coffee table. Chewed spiral binding on an old recipe book. Does not chew on her toys but does the labels on her blankets.  Fearful of men with beards and griff voices and cowers under furniture. In a noisy, confusing environment, Zeta is nervous and excited, often cowers behind my legs.  Tends to bark at children walking by, or firetrucks with lights and sirens. Bark is infrequent, but hoarse. Zeta is heartworm positive. She can be adopted during treatment if the adopter is local to Tampa Bay and can transport to her appointment.
