About Heinz

Adoption Fee: $450
Lab / Beagle
Age: Young Adult
Sex: Male

Adoption Application: https://www.lighthouseanimalshelter.org/application-instructions Heinz is a shy boy in the shelter setting but very different in a home setting! A volunteer took him home for a few weeks as a temporary foster and we were surprised to know that he would come out of his shell so quickly in a home setting. He was still unsure of loud noises and was skittish outdoors (though he started to make progress with that) but when indoors, he liked to be pet, was excited to greet his foster parent when they got home, and would trot around the house with a toy (or maybe your sneaker...we found out he's a bit mischievous when it comes to what he considers to be a dog toy!). Once he knows you, he is a very silly boy and will give you kisses. His foster home had a low-key male dog (55 lb.) and a playful female dog (40 lb.). After slow introductions, Heinz did well with both dogs but gravitated toward the company of his lower energy foster brother rather than his exuberant foster sister. Dogs can be overwhelming for him. We think that Heinz should start out as the only pet in the home but he has the potential to play with other pups in the future once he's settled and comfortable in his new environment. Heinz is crate trained. He does not have accidents in his crate or bark. Heinz is not 100% housetrained but was making progress with that in his previous foster home. Heinz rides well in a car and walks pretty well on a leash when it is quiet. When his foster parent took him for walks late at night, he walked with confidence. During the day when there was more commotion, he got nervous and would frequently stop if something scared him. Heinz would like to live in a home that is on the quiet side and that has a fully fenced, secure yard so that if he gets nervous, he won't be able to escape. A message from Heinz: I am a 3-4-year-old, 46 lb. male My paperwork says I am a Hound mix Dogs: It takes time for me to get used to a dog because I easily become anxious Cats: I am not sure about cats yet. At the shelter, I was respectful of cats. In my foster home, I met a cat upstairs and barked at him.
