Meet Peanut! This very beautiful 1 year old lemon yellow beagle is available for adoption. She was taken in to a shelter with her two sisters when their owner was no longer able to care for them. They were at a rural shelter for 3 months before we took them in here. Unlike most of the beagles we take in this time of year, Peanut was not a hunting dog. She LOVES to live in a house and lay by the fire. She knows how to be a family pet. Peanut is housebroken, loves to hang out with her people, and walks great on a leash. Speaking of walking, all three girls are a little chubby from their stay at the shelter, so we are working on getting weight off her. She currently weighs 27 pounds but should weigh about 21 or 22. Her foster parents have her in "Doggy Bootcamp" and are great at walking her even when it is cold outside, so she is already looking better. She is young so the weight should come off quickly but whoever adopts her does need to plan on continuing her weight loss plan. Peanut is a little love bug, and despite her size, is not as treat motivated as she is praise motivated. She loves getting attention. She can get a little talkative but will quiet when asked. Although it would be wonderful if someone decided to adopt Peanut with one of her sisters, it is not a requirement. She Would do great with another dog in the home but also would be OK as the only dog as long as she gets lots of love and attention. She would be fine with kids. We haven't see her with cats but does not have a high prey drive. If interested in Peanut our application can be found at www.homesfurhounds.org She is located in Williamsburg.
