UPDATE - 15 SEPTEMBER 2019: Dasher has been living with our kennel manager now for several months and is doing very well with his canine housemates and the doggy door. He does not crate well when left alone at home. Dasher joined us at our adoption event yesterday and was a little overwhelmed. He is timid around strangers.  He would do best in a home with a doggy door, fenced back yard, and at least one more social, confident dog. He loves to play with other dogs! We have had Dasher for almost a year, but we want to make sure he goes to a home with another dog to help with his confidence and where he will be given the extra time he needs to adjust. UPDATE - 18 MAY 2019: Dasher was able to join us at the adoption event today. What a handsome beagle! Lots of people were interested, but Dasher is still waiting for his forever home. He did well at the adoption event but was a little uncertain about all the noise and strangers. He is a little bashful, so we think he would do best in a home with a more social, friendly dog. According to his foster mom, Dasher is still not a big fan of being crated, but he is pro at using a doggie door. We know there is a forever home out there somewhere for this beautiful boy. UPDATE - 24 FEBRUARY 2019: Dasher has completed his heartworm treatment and is now available for adoption.  He has been staying with our kennel manager in her home. He has been eating well and now weighs about 33 pounds (lots of TLC for this boy!). He does not like being in a crate, but he knows how to use the doggie door. A doggie door and fenced back yard would be ideal for Dasher. Dasher has been sleeping in a dog bed and seems to do fine - no accidents. He has gotten along well with the other dogs in the home. He can be a little shy with strangers and may do best with another dog in the home who is more social and able to help Dasher become more confident. UPDATE - 20 DECEMBER 2018: Dasher has completed his vetting, but he tested heartworm positive, so we will need to treat him for this first before he is available for fostering or adoption. NEW - 15 DECEMBER 2018: Dasher is a handsome 2-year-old beagle boy who is not too confident and needs a little more socialization, but he does well with other dogs. He came in with Dancer as a stray to the Louisa County Animal Shelter in Virginia, so his history is unknown. He will be available for fostering or adoption once his vetting has been completed. We estimate his weight to be around 28 pounds, but we will get a more accurate weight from the vet.
