About Me
Hauser – Adopted July 2023
Meet Hauser
Status: Fostered
Estimated Age: 4 Years
Estimated Weight: 34 Pounds
UPDATE - 25 JUNE 2023 (from foster family): Hauser has been in his foster home for 2 weeks and has completely fit in with the family. He is a fun and energetic playmate to the humans and house beagle but easily mellows out for chill time. He quickly found the toy box and loves to take out his favorites. And we can assure you that he doesn’t need a DNA test, because he checks off ALL the beagle boxes: Loves to snuggle; Counter surfer; Walks with nose to the ground; Sits for treats and meals but ignores all other commands; Loves meeting new people and dogs on walks; Expresses excitement with tail wagging so fierce that half his body wags; Expresses curiosity with a cocked head and pricked ears; Expressed gratitude with lots kisses.
He is crate trained and has been crated for up to 7 hours without accidents or anxiety. He does pretty well with house training and will whine when he wants to go out, but he has had a few accidents if not let out in time. If we are home and he has unlimited access to water, when he hasn’t been out in about 3 hours he lets us know it’s pretty urgent. He is generally quiet but has barked when he sees squirrel activity out the window.
Hauser still needs to have his eye surgery (cherry eye), but he is looking forward to becoming the complete beagle package!
UPDATE - 10 JUNE 2023: Hauser joined us at today's Adoption Day, and he found a foster home! We are very excited about this boy with the long ears and body (maybe some Bassett in there?) and sweet personality. His cherry eye has returned, so we need to get that fixed, but, otherwise, he is a happy boy who now has a chance to experience life as a house pet. Stay tuned as we learn more about this boy from his new foster family.
UPDATE - 2 JANUARY 2023: Hauser is now vetted and available for fostering or adoption.
NEW - 12 DECEMBER 2022: Hauser is a shy beagle boy who is a little apprehensive but learning that people aren’t so bad! He’s good with other dogs and likes to follow the pack and be included in the affection and treats. He has a cherry eye that will be fixed when he gets neutered. He was a stray at the Caroline County Animal Shelter in Virginia, so his history is unknown. He will be available soon.
Questions?
Q: Can you tell me more about a specific dog? Is s/he good with kids / housetrained / good with cats/ etc?
A: What we know is in the write up. Our knowledge about any dog that is not in a foster homes is limited. Once approved, our adoption coordinators will work with you to match you with the right dog.
Q: Can I meet a specific dog?
A: We’re sorry, but you must be an approved adopter to meet our dogs. Pre-pandemic, dogs could be met at adoption days, but you still had to be approved to adopt from an adoption day.
Q: How can I adopt a specific dog?
A: You must submit an adoption application and be approved to adopt. You can do that under Adopt – you can also learn about the adoption process there.. It will take about two weeks for an adoption coordinator to get in touch with you. Please keep in mind that dogs that are available now may be adopted in the meantime. But we are always getting new dogs. You can see them on our website.
Q: Can I add another dog to the list on my application?
A: We don’t hold you to the dogs you listed on your application. It gives us an idea of what you are looking for. Plus it will let us know if someone is interested in one of our special needs / hard to place dogs.
Q: I indicated that I was interested in a specific dog on my application, but I see that s/he has been adopted. What happened?
A: We do not hold dogs. Applicants in the queue before you are being approved and may adopt the dog you are interested in before you are approved. But we are always getting new dogs in and your adoption coordinator will help you find the perfect match.
