Ringo Beagle Minneapolis, MN

This 2-year-old Beagle is the sweetest and spunkiest of dogs! Weighing in at 22 pounds, he's the perfect size for cuddles--and cuddling just happens to be one of his favorite activities. While his past has made him more anxious and sometimes overstimulated, he shows his bravery and resilience in new ways every day. In no time, Ringo will happily follow you around the house, and be your favorite snuggle buddy at night, making every night cozy and warm.

With some patience and guidance, he's made remarkable progress and become a great roommate! While he's house-trained on a consistent schedule, his pacing around the room will be your cue to go outside. If you're home, he may go into his kennel for a safe space, or when you say "take a nap" (especially if there's a treat involved)! When he's alone, he can be very vocal and unsettled in the kennel. Due to his noise level during these times, he will not be a fit for homes with shared walls (apartments/condos).

This little explorer thrives with structure and enjoys mental and physical stimulation. Ringo loves to go on walks (30-45 minutes) where he can sniff to his heart's content, along with food puzzles to entertain his Beagle nose. Ringo is eager to learn with you, too! He's working on commands like "sit" and "touch," treating every session like the most fun game ever.

When it comes to his favorite things, Ringo's love for squeaky toys knows no bounds--his hedgehog stuffy is a prized possession. He's also an expert in the fine art of destroying stuffed toys but enjoys chew toys, kongs, and even a good antler. Ringo's playful spirit is matched only by his need for cuddles. He'll give you endless kisses, follow you everywhere, and look at you with those soulful Beagle eyes that make it impossible to say no.

Ringo is happy to make friends, but it takes a little extra bravery to do so. He has met children as young as 6 years-old and adored them, though he is still learning personal space. Because of this, dog-savvy kids aged 8+ would be the best match. He has briefly met his foster family's cat, but quickly retreated. With the right introduction, he could likely coexist peacefully with a confident, relaxed cat. Around other dogs, Ringo does best with calm or well-balanced companions, as big personalities can make him nervous. He finds comfort in the presence of another dog and could benefit from a home where his human or canine companions are often around.

Ringo would thrive in a patient, loving home that understands his puppy-like curiosity and gives him the structure he needs to blossom. In return, you'll receive a lifetime of laughter and endless kisses! Could you be the one to give this brave, spunky, and snuggly pup his forever home?
