Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Please meet 5 y/o Maggie, the Beagle. When Maggie came to beagle rescue she carried 50 lbs on her 14 inch frame! No wonder she could barely walk. She had been living with an elderly woman that could no longer care for her. She's now lost over 15 lbs and enthusiastically heads out twice a day for a stroll through the neighborhood. She's taking thyroid medicine (a very inexpensive prescription) and continues to lose weight.
Maggie is particularly keen on cats. Shortly after she arrived we discovered that some neighbor cats were sleeping in the hedges in the backyard. Maggie strolled up to the black one and greeted him nose to nose. She moved to the orange striped one who took a swat at her. Maggie stepped back but stood her ground, tail wagging, as if to say 'Hey, we're all friends here!" She likes to greet all kitties (sometimes they like her, sometimes they don't) wherever we walk and she speeds up as we approach a cat house and sometimes has to be 'encouraged' to move on. Maggie is bright and attentive and doesn't miss much. Her face is very expressive and she's cuddly and affectionate. She can also be content sleeping across the room. She's very good with children - my 9 and 10 year old nieces and nephew adore her. Maggie is open to meeting other dogs, does fine with my Aussie, but she's rather timid so if she sees any signs of aggression she prefers to move on. She scurries to the door as you come in to greet you with a big smile on her face and a spring in her step. Her one trick is sitting up on her haunches which she does quite often to speak to you. Maggie makes very little sound. I've heard her bark twice in the time she's been with me. She does fine in her kennel and can also be left out of the kennel when I'm away. She doesn't chew or destroy things. As she stays with me she becomes more and more comfortable with playing and with toys, so she'll do well in a new home once she adjusts.
