UPDATE - 13 JUNE 2022: Kirk recently found himself in a new foster home due to unforseen circumstances. He is one of the most easy-going little guys you will ever meet. He assimilated himself into his new pack of foster siblings without even batting an eye. He is on the smaller side at 18lbs, and is very quiet. Unlike many more vocal beagles, he would do well in an apartment. He likes to be your sidekick, wherever you go but is not needy about it. He's just a nice companion who keeps tabs on you, and he will cuddle up next to you on the sofa when it's time to relax. He does prefer women but is slowly warming up to his foster Dad. If you are looking for a "cute-as-can be" chill little dude to hang out with, Kirk is the one for you!
UPDATE - 5 FEBRUARY 2022 (from foster mom): Kirk is the sweetest little beagle boy. This small guy is enjoying being part of a family unit. He gets along great with his foster sisters. He’s a playful kind of guy but also enjoys just curling up on the sofa or chair. He has only had 1 accident in the house. While he does not signal to go out, such as standing by the back door, once he starts pacing around, that is a sign he needs to go out. At first he was not thrilled with the putting on a sweater or a coat but has gotten used to both. He does walk well on a leash, but he can be just as happy checking out the back yard.
NEW - 28 JANUARY 2022: Kirk and Michael were found as strays and taken to the Washington County Johnson City Animal Shelter in Johnson City, TN. From there they made their journey to BREW. They are both now fully vetted and are living in foster homes. They are friendly and good with other dogs. Stay tuned for more updates as they just got to their foster homes.
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.
