Story
Thank you, for considering opening your heart and home to a rescued pup in need of love and respect. UPDATE: BUSTER now LOVES sleeping on the floor next to his person and has adjusted to the population of many other Beagle and young fur-kids like himself whom have been rescued and are seeking love, respect and a home of their very own. He is housebroken, but does not like being crated. Yet, rides well in a car(yes, in a crate...always best when travelling!). BUSTER-m/n, pb Beagle-dob ~10/22/2013 was rescued from a rural farming community after he either followed his nose too far from home & got lost or he was abandoned..happens all too often by their so-called 'hunter' owners. Buster had been running this community for ~3weeks, and was getting into folk's trash; apparently with some success judging by his girth at the time of being rescued. Many neighbors contacted Animal Control(but they had no room at their 'inn') and posted his picture and location on FB, with no results. So, they contacted Howlin4Spirit to see if we could help him. SWEET little rollie-pollie(11"@shoulders, but has a 13"Beagle's body, @ 3olbs, with a calm, gentle demeanor. Buster is housebroken and walks well on-leash, and is a sweet gentle soul. We think he probably was an 'only pet' in his past life and seems to enjoy a spot of his own, yet he gets along well with all the others. Puppies can be a bit irritating to him, however. Nothing mean, just warns them with a growl or two. He likes hunting squirrels and critters along our wooded trails, but at a moderate pace...not like his life depends on it. Friendly, but very wise. Buster is an 'old soul'. After spending at least 3 wks lost, & most likely shouted at/chased off, had to deal with guns shot off to scare him away, etc, his instincts on who can be trusted and whom he can't is pretty on-point. He's intuitive and reserved, at first. Then, seeks your love/attention once he trusts you. When Howlin4Spirit went to the home of the person who called us to take him, he had spent ~16hrs under a plastic container exactly his size, with no water/food...and 3 heavy houseplants holding it down on him...pretty scary scenario for such a mellow, friendly guy. Buster is looking for an active, early retiree or stay at/work from at home person. Someone with Beagle experience and at least a 4'h fenced-in yard with maybe a garden and who will take him for leisurely daily walks...he enjoys quiet adventures and hanging out with his person. A true JOY for any Beagle-lover. Just be sure to secure your trash can lids and be prepared to sit at a table to eat. IF Buster can see an opportunity to grab a treat and run with it, he'll take it.
