Mason Beagle Mix Brooklyn Center, MN

Let me introduce myself! My name is Mason and I am an almost 2 yr old male Beagle mix. I am pretty amazing if I do say so myself! I came to Minnesota from Kentucky and found myself a nice warm foster home to live in with a dog friend, a cat who doesn't want to be my friend, and a foster mom. I love playing with my dog friend, especially out in the yard. We wrestle and do zoomies together. I am a very fast runner and I need to work off my energy with my zoomies. I need some serious leash training, but once I learn to be on a leash nicely, I would be a good running partner. I love to explore and my nose sometimes gets me in trouble with all the good smells, so my foster mom thinks I should have a fence in my new home. I am fully house-trained. While in the house I'm a pretty chill boy. I find a comfy spot and either take naps or lay and watch what's going on in the house. Sometimes I even watch TV. There is one thing I dislike more than anything and that is a kennel! I get very high anxiety when I go in one and I have been known to tear apart a kennel when made to be in one. I am allowed to have free reign when when my foster mom goes away and I have never hurt anything in the house. I sleep in the bed with my foster mom and she says I am a great bed partner. If she asks me to move, I do and I don't get off the bed until it's time to get up. I get very excited when I see kids and can't contain my excitement so I might not be the best companion for small kids as I might knock them down with my enthusiasm. I do like activity though so older kids would be great! As I said before there is a cat here and I really want to be friends, but she doesn't. I would never try to hurt her, I just want to play. If she runs I chase, I figure that's her wanting to play. I am very curious about what she is and I'll keep trying to be friends with her, even when my foster mom tells me to leave the cat alone a few times a day. I try to be a really good boy all the time, but as we all know even the best of us have some quirks. Here are mine: I do like to do a little counter-surfing if there are good things within my reach. I'm slowly learning to stay down though. I am highly food and treat motivated so any food within my reach is not safe. I love to go on adventures in the car but I get car sick. I take some pills now before a car ride and they make my tummy feel so much better. When I went to the vet they said I have some dental issues so I will need to have yearly dental checkups. Because of these issues, I cannot chew on anything hard. I really am a sweet boy but I am very timid! I do not do well meeting new people. I try to hide and not even treats will bring me out of my shell. Once I get to know you we can be best friends though. It may take several meets for you to see my true, loving personality. My foster mom just had to be patient at first and it didn't take long for me to trust her. I will be the same with you, be patient and gentle, and I'll come around and soon be giving you lots of kisses. I hope you can look past these quirks and give me the chance to show you what a great addition I'd make to your family! Thanks for reading about me!
