bugsey

Bugsey is a total sweetheart who wants to please and has good manners. He is super affectionate, loves pats, belly rubs, and ear skritches and gives tiny kisses. He likes other dogs, but does tend to want all the attention, although not at all aggressive about it. Bugsey ignores cats unless they swat at him, and then he will just bark at them. Supervising in the kitchen is definitely in his skill set. He doesn't get in the way and doesn't beg for food. He just wants to watch and be involved with his humans. Also, like all beagles, he will stare patiently, unblinking, while his people eat for a long as food is present. When it is time for treats though, Bugsey will wait his turn and is gentle taking them. He greets you when you get home with enthusiasm, LOTS of tail wagging, and again, those little kisses. His personality is self confident and not shy and his energy level is moderate. House training has gone wonderfully with only one peeing accident when he first arrived. Bugsy sleeps in a dog bed in his foster parent's bedroom. When left alone he doesn't stress, bark, or whine, and he is crated... just to be sure there are no issues with the cats. He has been crated for up to 6 hours. He does enjoy being outside and will often just curl up on a patio chair rather than demand to be let back in. Bugsey's leash walking skills are quite good -- no pulling and not much criss-crossing. We believe Bugsey will do best in a home where he can lots of affection and a decent amount of activity. He is heartworm negative, all of his vetting has now been completed and he is ready for a sleepover!
