My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

My name is Joseph, or Joey if you like. I am the sweetest lovable guy you'll ever meet!! I am a Bagel (a Basset Beagle mix) with a lot more Beagle than Basset. Best guess is that I am about 7 years old and I am looking forward to finding a family that appreciates the virtues of a fellow like me!!!

I am house-trained and learned to use the doggie door pretty quickly. I take my job of patrolling the backyard very seriously and ensure my foster's home is free from all deer, rabbits, and squirrels! I am crate-trained too, but I'm so well-behaved, even when left alone, that I don't need to be confined. I have my favorite dog bed and am always ready for a good cozy nap. I do enjoy going on a walk or two every day as well as time playing outside. I would prefer a home with a fenced yard so I have a way to let off some energy. Despite being out of the playful puppy stage, I still get the zoomies occasionally!

I really love people and am instant friends with everyone I meet. I am very calm and would be great with children of any age. I get along great with other dogs and I really do enjoy the company of my foster brother. I would be lonely without another dog in the home.

When I came to my foster home, I wasn't feeling my best. It turns out I have a heart issue and require daily medication to keep me healthy. BROOD's medical director can tell you all about it, I don't understand all the big medical words! As I got healthy with the treatment, I really started to blossom and am absolutely loving life!!! I am so much more playful and have more stamina without needing to rest as much. I am a happy-go-lucky guy and just waiting for the next adventure!!

I know my prefect family is out there, I hope it's you!!!! Please contact BROOD today!!! My adoption fee is $250.00.

**Only BROOD-approved adopters can meet a dog (no exceptions). Our adoption application is on the BROOD website at https://brood-va.org/adoptionapp/. We adopt to residents of Virginia, Maryland, West Virginia, DC, Delaware, and southern Pennsylvania. Do not apply to adopt from BROOD if you live in another state. We require a virtual home visit and a veterinary reference.

The age of many BROOD dogs is unknown, as very few come with official records. The estimate on the dog's age is usually the initial estimate given by the receiving shelter, which may be different from that given at the time of the initial checkup. Different veterinarians may also give different ages, and those different opinions are sometimes reflected on the record. ***BROOD's adoption fees are determined based on the age of the dog. 05/05/2024
