Benny Beagle Wadsworth, IL

Hi there, it is I, Benny beagle. I have been told I am a handsome middle-aged boy.

My foster parents say I am pretty smart. I know sit, down, and will get on the couch and lie down when told.

I can be loud at moments, telling you someone is going by, or I see another dog. But foster dad makes me come to him and sit and be a quiet boy. I will also come into the house when called.

I like to chase stuffed toys or shake them all around. I will try to play with my foster brother but I like to bark in his face while doing so, and he quits. I am like a kid, I play, then time for a nap. I did get beat up in a previous home by a big dog so watch me around the bigger ones.

I have done well with my house training. I have been crated while everyone is gone and do fine in it, but I have also been good being left out.

I ride pretty well in the car. They tether me otherwise I would want to help drive, and I sit or lie down on the back seat. Walks, wellllll, I can walk like a typical beagle, pull, go different ways. But I am also a long-distance walker and have gone 5 miles on a walk!! I am a stout strong boy so you do need to hold on tight.

I do love attention. Foster mom and dad say my one bad habit is trying to get in your face and kiss you, a lot. They make me sit and hold me in that position and then give me pets and love. I would LOVE to sleep in bed with you. I sleep in a crate here as the big bed is my foster brother’s spot.

I would be fine with a buddy. I have gotten along well with any other beagles I have been with; however, I would also be good as an only dog. A fenced yard would be great, as I like to go in and out a bunch. But I have also done pretty well being out on a tie out.

No young kids as I can be jumpy and being a little bigger and stronger I might knock them down, and I might be a little mouthy while playing with toys.

So, if you want a loving companion ask about me, Benny beagle.
