I'm Bennie, a Basset-Beagle mix around 4 years old. I was found as a stray so my background is anyone's guess. I am working on my house training and am 99% there. I am crate-trained but will whine or bark a little if I don't want to be left alone. I quickly settle down and am a quiet guy. I am pretty slow on walks, still trying to figure this leash thing out and I don't care much for car rides. I love playing with the dogs in my foster home and I'd love a canine friend to play with. But I would also be okay as an only dog.
My uneasiness related to new people, places, and things is improving with every passing day. I am very easygoing and laid back and don't need much to be content. I do like to collect things, my foster mom calls me a thief. If it's on the floor, it's mine and will grab blankets, toys, and pillows and run through the house with them. I am respectful and know not to chew and enjoy the game of my foster family chasing me to get them back. I used to be a picky and slow eater, but now I eat with the pack and inhale my food-I love mealtimes! I am not a snuggler, yet, but do enjoy the company of my family and want to be wherever they go. I am a mellow hound who will be best placed in a home that is low key and not highly active. I am looking for a patient and understanding family to allow me to bloom into the wonderful family dog that I know I am. 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. 03/24/2024
