I'm a pocket-sized Beagle named Marcy. Due to my size, I am often mistaken for a puppy but I am around 5 years old. I was found as a stray in a remote rural area so no one knows. I have a beautiful chocolate coat and have earned the nickname "Baked Bean" due to my unusual coloring and petite size.
Although I am all grown up, I still have bursts of puppy energy and mischievousness and have been known to "investigate" things that I shouldn't. I need to be kept busy and can easily keep myself entertained by playing with toys and bones (my favorite are Benebone Chews!!!!) or running around in the yard. I need to go to a home with a fenced yard so I can do all my zoomies in a safe environment. I don't much care for walks as I don't understand being on a leash, but my foster family is working with me and I am learning to see the fun of exploring with my family.
I am working on my house training. I know I need to potty outside but when it's rainy and muddy, it's hard to leave a warm dry house. I am crate-trained and can use a doggie door too. I am very food motivated so I learn pretty quickly. I could eat until I burst!!! But thankfully I am such a small lady that most food is far out of my reach. I wouldn't do well in an apartment or busy city living. Most loud noises startle me and a home with so many stairs might not be best for my tiny size. I do bark a bit when my family leaves for the day so I might not be a good neighbor in close quarters.
I get along with other dogs and love people and children. I might be best in a home with children over 8 as I do tend to jump up on people which could be intimidating for small kids. I can be a little shy at first but quickly warm up and am a real snuggle buddy. I love to sniff people including their faces and hair but I am not a kisser.
You may have noticed in my photos (my foster mom has tried to take lots of photos and videos, but I am just too fast!), I've got a bit of a stubby tail and missing my left eye. I wish I could talk to tell you the stories behind that!!! I don't let that get me down and have no mobility issues. I do get daily eyedrops in my right eye for chronic dry eye.
If you love "Baked Beans" and want a tiny constant companion, then I am the one you are looking for!!! I can't help but make you smile! 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. 03/16/2024
