dani

Dani has the softest, most gentle eyes and Paired with her big beagle ears it is almost too much cuteness for such a small dog. She very much appreciates affection. She is submissive but is not needy and can be quite independent. She is currently in a foster home with one other dog and is submissive to him as well, but Dani is very food motivated so they are fed separately. At night she sleeps either on the couch, the bed or in a dog bed. She does like to snuggle and cuddle for a while, but then moves on. She may come back for more a while later. When foster mom and dad are showing affection to the other dog, Dani can get just a little pushy for her share, but only a little. She does appear to be mostly house trained, especially once the family became more familiar with her signals. She is fine outside but doesn't seem to thrive on it like some beagles, and her prey drive seems pretty much non-existent. Her leash walking skills are moderately good and she pays no mind to other dogs on walks. Dani's foster parents work outside the home so they initially crated her when they were gone. She seemed to tolerate it well and showed no anxiety at their leaving, so they tried leaving her out of the crate and it went fine. Both dogs are now routinely left at home alone together with free roam. Video cameras show them just lounging on the couch. However, the family is always careful to make sure there is no food she can get to -- including cabinets. When they return home Dani makes happy little grunts and squeaks. A home with a calm environment where she receives regular affection would be her best fit. She’s very precious, and there’s a soft, peaceful soul in her.
