Howdy, beagle lovers! My name is Billy and I have a lot to say. I was picked up as a stray in Jefferson Parish, Louisiana and cared for by animal services until I could catch a ride with a few awesome volunteers to Fort Worth and a foster home. While at the shelter, I got my vaccines, dewormed, neutered, and tested negative for heartworms, so I’m all ready to go to my new home.
I’m about 2 1/2 years old and my foster mom says I’m real handsome. I am very energetic - I spend a lot of time playing with my foster sisters and we are very rambunctious. And remember how I said I have a lot to say? I express that with my beagle bark, so I’m not really suitable for an apartment or condo living situation. I’ll need a backyard with room to run and play… and bark. Although I am not aggressive, I can be slightly protective of things I find - like your slippers. My foster mom has been working with me on understanding that I need to “drop it” when she says so. I haven’t quite figured it out, but I am super smart and respond very well to training. So I’ll need a home without young children, and one with someone willing to continue training with me. I was probably on the streets for a while, fending for myself, so I’m working on house manners. I have already potty trained myself to use the doggy door, and I picked up crate training in just a few days. And I just LOVE to snuggle up with my people and my foster sisters! I am very, very sweet.
