This is Eddie.
Update: Eddie who started a trial adoption got out the front door a few days ago and hasn’t been found yet. He is a tricolored male beagle, very tall for a beagle, and friendly with people and dogs. His adopters live at 3821 Wachtel Drive in Holt. If you can help or hear anything, you can reach Angela at 517-974-8908, or me at 517-243-0416. Thank you! – Christine H.
Update update: Eddie has been found.
He is a very sweet and funny boy who is looking for a loving family of his own.
His favorite things are snuggling with the people in his foster home and going for walks. Playing with other dogs is fun too sometimes. He’s a very happy boy, and his tail rarely stops wagging. He can be a bit of a clown – his antics and his long, gangly legs flailing in every direction when he’s excited always make people laugh. He has even been told that he’s quite charming.
Everyone says that Eddie probably never lived inside a house before, and that is probably why he makes mistakes about where to go potty. He does not like hearing loud voices when his lift my leg inside the house, so he is starting to think it might be a better idea to do all of that in the yard. His foster mom gets so happy when he does that, so he is going to keep trying to remember that good boys go outside to go potty. He is also sometimes confused about which furniture is for sitting on (couches) and which is not (dining room table – who knew?). He is never naughty on purpose. He just has had so much to learn and he really is trying.
Eddie is healthy and friendly and likes to meet new people, big and small. At first, he might be a little bit shy, but you will be very good friends if you are someone who loves Beagles and is willing to help him learn where to go potty and which furniture he can sit on.
He knows how to sit and would love to have a family who will take him to school to learn more stuff like that. Most of the time he’s a pretty laid-back dog, but he might be just a little overly enthusiastic about greeting you when you first wake up or come home. But it only lasts a few minutes, then he’s back to being kind of lazy and VERY snuggly.
Eddie doesn’t chew stuff that isn’t his or get into anything, except maybe if it’s food. If there’s food where he can reach it, he will try to resist but he’s not making any promises. He walks nicely on a leash and doesn’t pull, although he might have to stop walking to sniff things occasionally.
His new home should have a fenced yard so he doesn’t follow an interesting smell and end up lost – after all, that’s how he ended up in a shelter in the first place! He is very social, so he’d love to have a family who is home a lot or who has another pet to keep him company when the people are gone.
