Peeta

My story

PEETA 5 years Attributes: Good with dogs, Good in cars Needs a fence Medium energy Housetrained Peeta, affectionately called Petie by his foster mom, is a very handsome tri-colored beagle that is approximately 5-7 years old and weighs 28 lbs. He was picked up as a stray and ended up in a shelter. He's not had a very good life and more than likely has spent it outside on a chain or in a kennel.  He's recently completed treatment for heartworms and Lyme disease and is now very healthy. Peeta is currently in a foster home. He gets along very well with other dogs but hasn't been cat tested, although as mild mannered as he is he'd probably do fine with them. He is a friendly boy but shy at first when meeting new people. He's such a happy boy that his tail is always wagging. He came to us with no training or any idea how to behave in a home so he's learning his house manners the best he can and would benefit from your patience. He can sit for a treat and has learned to use a doggie door when he needs to go outside to potty. He will need a secure fenced yard as he loves to sniff around in the yard and play with his toys. Since his foster mom is retired, he is not left alone much and he likes it that way. He does not care for a crate so at night he either sleeps next to his foster mom's bed or will occasionally join her in bed. Peeta loves his walks and does not pull. He walks very slow and enjoys lots of sniffs along the way.  He's such a good boy when passing other dogs and does not bark at them. Like most beagles, he is very food motivated. He LOVES treats.  Peeta's ideal family would have a fenced yard, another dog to play with (not a deal breaker if not), lots of snuggle time and walks each day. Peeta rides well in a car and enjoys being petted and being close to you. With continued training we are confident Peeta will make a great addition to your family. NOTE: Dog may be located in any of our six volunteer states (WI, IL, IN, OH, PA, MI).
