About Winston

Adoption Fee: $25
Beagle mix
Age: Young Adult
Sex: Male

Winston was rescued by our family this year from a sad situation. His parents appeared to both be beagles. He would not hunt so he was kept in a cage above ground outside for the first year of his life. I am unsure of his exact age but he is likely two years old now. He loves other dogs and to run and play outdoors. We do not know how he does with cats. He is typically loving to adults once he gets to know and trust them, but is skittish and a bit frightened initially. Unfortunately, due to his background he continues to have object/food aggression and will growl/lunge and has bitten his rescuer's hand. A few minutes later he will be super loving again. I am so sad we have been unable to break this, but someone who is patient and knows how to train and handle beagles would likely have some success. He occasionally has accidents in the house and does like to chew things he should not. Due to these reasons a home without children would be recommended. He would hopefully thrive in a home with another/other dogs and a big area to run around and play (though he does try to escape so he can explore!). He is up to date on all shots, is neutered, and receives his flea/tick and heartworm pills regularly. I am devastated to have to give him up but I am 72 and know it is the right thing for him and his needs. Please contact me for more pictures and to find out more about him. I will be keeping him until we can find the right home as he is special to us even with his issues. Thank you!
