UPDATE - 18 MAY 2019: Gizmo's foster family was not able to keep her any longer, so she is now in a new foster home. She seems to be doing very well now that she is in a home with other dogs. Gizzy joined as at the adoption event today. What a cutie! She is an adorable little girl who loved everyone! She looks more like a dachshund than a beagle, but she is hoping that will not keep her from finding her forever home. Check out the picture of Gizzy at the adoption event when she decided to "hang out" on her new foster mom's leg. UPDATE - 10 MARCH 2019: A good nickname for this pup could be "Shadow": She's hard to see in the dark, follows us closely, and can be so stealthy you won't know she's right underfoot. Probably the best attribute we've noticed about her since we took her in a week ago is her affectionate nature. She can be very generous with kisses. Also, it is very sweet when she hops into your lap and nuzzles your hand for pets; the dachshund in her makes her a great size for lap cuddles. Another fun trait is that she will fetch a toy bone when you throw it! Although she can settle down and nap quietly, she really loves company; she is definitely not happy to be crated while she knows people are around. She does settle down after a while when she is crated for bedtime, but it is clearly not her preference. She is very well behaved at night if she is not crated. She is a bit terrified of our kitten, who was not happy to have competition for our affection; I'm guessing Gizmo would be content with a well-adjusted cat since she hasn't been aggressive towards ours at all. She does have a bit of watchdog in her, and will perk up and alert you if she hears something. She's very good as far as housetraining goes, with no accidents in her crate or in the house. She has kept her crate clean when we're gone during the workday, but, again, her desire for companionship means it would probably be better if she found a family who could give her some attention during the day. She takes care of her potty business within a few minutes of going outside and seems to know the drill. NEW - 31 JANUARY 2019: Gizzy, aka Gizmo, is a 4-5-year-old beagle/dachshund mix who is friendly and good with other dogs. She’s the mom to Tinks, and they were both given up because their family could no longer care for them. She is used to being in the house and said to be house trained (she will probably need some re-training). She will be available soon.
