UPDATE - 9 MARCH 2023: Barnie needed to finish up a few vet appointments before being available for adoption. He is now done with those appointments and looking for his forever home. Here is a quick update from his foster mom:
Barney is doing excellent with his house training - still an occasional mark, but significantly less frequent. Barney’s ideal home would be one in which his humans were home most of the day. Although he has gotten more comfortable, he is still insistent upon being with somebody at all times and very unhappy when he has to be in a crate.
NEW - 5 JANUARY 2023: Barnie came to BREW after his owner passed away, and there was no one in the family who could take him. He is now in a BREW foster home. Here are some initial observations from his new foster family:
Barnie is an adorable lemon beagle with short stubby legs and pudgy paws! Barnie has very soft fur and enjoys being pet and snuggled. Barnie prefers to be near his humans all the time and is NOT a fan of his crate. He howled, barked, and tried to claw his way out of it when we tried to leave him in there. He is not neutered yet and has attempted to mark all over my house (even on his food bowl). We have him wearing a belly band, so no harm done, but, otherwise, he’s definitely house trained. We're not sure if this behavior will stop once neutered, but we are hopeful. Barnie walks very well on a leash and doesn't seem to pay much attention to other people or animals. He has been great with the children and their friends and enjoys running around the yard and playing with toys inside the house. Barnie currently has a cherry eye and also needs a dental cleaning, both of which will be addressed when he is neutered.
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.
