My name is name Fozzy and I'm all heart and legs, stomach, and tail.  I'm most likely a beagle/basset mix, very long-bodied. I'm currently 22 lbs. but at 1 year I could still grow.  I was found as a stray so my age is a guess. While I was a stray, I would hang out near a manufacturing park and I was well-fed, then a Good Samaritan took me home to find my owner but he never did.  I lived with younger kids, a cat, and a bigger dog. Then I came to Midwest BREW where I was brought up to date with all my vaccinations and my foster family has me working on manners.     
Now I live with two beagles and I play all day.  My foster mom says I am smart. So far, I've learned potty training and some commands like “sit”, “no” and “stop”.  I'm still working on taking treats nicely and some advanced commands. Of course, I love food. I like to eat my food as fast as I can and then run to my brother’s bowl and try to take his.  He doesn't let me but I always try.  Mom has found mixing some water in my food does slow me down a bit otherwise I eat at sonic speed.   My foster sister is also 1 year old and we play ALL day.  We also bark a lot when we play so my mom says I have to let you know I can be a loud player. I love everyone I ever meet so I'm pretty happy most of the day.  I do need to be watched because I can get into my human sister’s backpack or my foster mom’s purse in a nanosecond and find any treats they might have in there.  
My mom works from home and I like that. At first, I followed her everywhere, even to the bathroom.  I was not going to let my new pack out of my sight.  Now that I am more comfortable, I hang out on the couch or sunbath on our deck is my favorite spot.  I am crate trained. Sometimes I bark when you put me in it but then I calm down.  At night I like to sleep with my humans or on the floor next to them, not my crate.   
I'm a really good boy who is still learning but very smart and highly trainable.  I am eager to find my permanent family.

More about this rescue

Midwest Beagle Rescue, Education and Welfare, Inc is a 501(c)3 non profit, all-volunteer organization located in the Midwest, funded by donations and dedicated to rescuing beagles from high-kill shelters. Our foster homes provide loving temporary care until we are able to find them well matched, carefully screened forever homes. By working with local veterinarians, trainers, and boarding facilities we are able to give proper medical care to the beagles in our program. We also serve as a resource to our community and all pet owners by providing education and information on responsible pet ownership, including the importance of spay/neuter, positive behavior training, and good nutrition. We adopt beagles to families within Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, western Pennsylvania and Wisconsin and have also placed beagles into loving homes in Minnesota, Iowa, and Missouri.
