Eddie is a 30 lb Beagle/Lab mix, approximately 2 or 3 years old. He was adopted from us a little over a year ago. He’s a really good dog, great with kids, walks well on a leash, and enjoys playing with other dogs at the dog park. However, he is not a good fit for the neighborhood he currently lives in (Colonial Heritage, Williamsburg, which has a large dog population) in that he is quite reactive to other dogs he sees out on walks, or which he senses when out in the fenced yard. He reacts to these dogs by barking, and possibly simply wants to play with them. As such, it is difficult to leave him out in the yard for any length of time, as several of the neighbors also have fenced yards and he calls out to those dogs when they are out at the same time.
His family has tried various training methods but they don't feel he is happy in their home since he is constantly stressed when either walking on a leash with so many dogs around, or out in the yard. Therefore, they are looking to re-home him to a place where he would be happier. He would do well in a family with children and a somewhat isolated yard.
He is neutered, chipped, and up to date with vaccines, and on heartworm prevention.
For an application go to www.homesfurhounds.org. He is located in Williamsburg, Va.

More about this rescue
Homes Fur Hounds Inc. was formed to help the overwhelming number of animals that are abandoned, surrendered to county agencies and simply unwanted. These animals are facing death due to no fault of their own other than not being convenient. Our mission is to help stop the unnecessary killing of animals. Thousands of animals are put to sleep (some more humanely than others) every day. We strive to educate the public on the importance of spaying, neutering, heartworm preventive and general health care. We also strive to help owners who are experiencing difficulties with their pet find solutions to their problems. By helping them find solutions we keep the animals out of the county pounds and from being abandoned. It is our policy to adopt out only healthy dogs and to do our best to know and understand what type of home the dog needs. We are always striving to find that “forever home” for the animals.
