Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Aroooooo! Hi! My name is Schwebo, but my foster mama and dad call me Bowie because they can never get the Sch sound out right especially when they are trying to get my attention. I’m a 6-year-old beautiful beagle/basset mix. Dad says that I’m a classic tri color and my fur shines with highlights in the sun. My fur is super soft and I have long, soft ears.
Even though I’m six, I don’t act that way. I easily walk 1-2 miles and I’m not a couch potato. I’m also very active around the house. However, I do love to snuggle and follow humans around. There are other dogs in the house, but they kind of annoy me, so I stick like glue to the people. My mama thinks it’s because I spent some time in a kennel waiting for a foster family, so I’m still nervous about being left.
I came from a shelter in Missouri and it seems as if I had a family, but they never came to claim me at the shelter, so BREW swooped in and rescued me. My foster mama says that I’m really good in the house; I know how to use the stairs, I potty in the backyard though I’m not really good at telling people that I need to go yet. I love to snuggle on a blanket on the floor at night or I’ll jump into bed if I get invited. Laundry baskets full of clothes are also one of my favorite places to hang out. They are so comfy and the clothes smell like Mom and Dad. Walks are the best things ever, but I need to work on my manners. I’m only about 35 lbs., but I sure can pull when the smells are good. I also like to counter surf a bit when something smells really tasty, so you have to be really careful about leaving food near the counter edges. I may have short basset legs, but I am a long pup and have a good reach. I seem to have a gift for finding mischief, but I'm not destructive and I don’t chew. I just take interesting items such as newspapers, shoes, and pencils for walks.
My foster mama and dad haven’t had me long, so we are still learning about each other. They aren’t sure if I know how to play yet, though I do investigate the doggy toy boxes and look for bones because they are fun to chew. I haven’t been exposed to any kids yet, so we need to see about that. I have a rusty sounding bark that makes Mom laugh, but I don’t use it much, so I think I’d be Ok in a condo or apartment. I also tend to act like the alpha dog around the house, so I’d probably be best as an only dog or as a companion to a really laid back dog who wouldn’t mind being bossed around.
