Story
🐾 Meet Petey — 48 Pounds of Beagle Charm, Howls & Heart! 🐾
Petey is a 7-year-old Beagle who recently found himself looking for a new home after his beloved owner passed away. He’s understandably a little unsure about all these changes, but underneath the anxiety is a very sweet boy who really just wants some love, attention, and a person of his own again. ❤️
Petey can be a little shy when he first meets you, but give him a little time and he’s happy to make friends. He’s friendly with people, seems to be good with kids, and gets along well with other dogs. Cats, however, are not his thing. His Beagle brain is highly interested in rabbits and squirrels—and apparently they are to be chased immediately. 🐇🐿️
He seems to enjoy trips in the car, so much so that he’s been known to try and sneak into the garage when his human is leaving in an attempt to hitch a ride. He has even demonstrated that a vinyl fence is not necessarily the impenetrable fortress his humans assumed it was. So his new family will need to keep a close eye on this adventurous fellow and make sure doors, gates, and fences are secure.
Petey does have some anxiety, so he’ll need a little patience and time to adjust to his new surroundings. He’s also apparently capable of producing an impressive amount of drool—there was so much outside his crate at one point that it looked like he had peed! 😂
And because he is, in fact, a Beagle, Petey would like to remind you that silence is not his strongest skill. He enjoys a good howl and is more than willing to provide the occasional Beagle soundtrack to your household. 🎶
Petey has experienced a heartbreaking loss, and what he needs now is someone willing to give him the time and reassurance to adjust to his new life. In return, you’ll get a sweet, affectionate companion with a classic Beagle personality and a whole lot of love to give.
Could you be Petey’s next chapter? 🐾❤️

Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable, so for most of the dogs, we are only guessing at the predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each dog as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not by breed label.
We expect that all adopted dogs will enroll in a formal dog training class with their new owners. Obedience and training classes are an excellent way to learn more about your newly adopted dog, gain handling and training experience, and improve your relationship with your pet.
