About Me

Meet Rasco

Status: Living at our private kennel

Estimated Age: 5-6 Years

Estimated Weight:  25 Pounds

NOTE: Has a grade 3/4 heart murmur; would do best with a single woman who has no other pets or children and has beagle experience; does great on a leash!

UPDATE - 4 JUNE 2022: Rasco has been at our kennels for a long time and so hopes there is an adopter out there for him! Here is a quick update from our kennel manager: Rasco is doing quite well at the kennels. He has been a good host to a multitude of different beagles of both genders sharing his kennel. He was very tolerant of the little ones, Chablis and Martini, who were constantly bossing him around. His current kennelmate is Chevy. He does well in the doggy yard with all of the other beagles. I think his main problem in his last foster home was resource guarding - mainly his person but that's been well over a year ago. He's fairly quiet for the most part.

UPDATE - 24 DECEMBER 2021: Rasco now has the unfortunate status of being with BREW longer than any of our other available beagles (since April 2021). Rasco would probably be fine in a quiet home with a woman who will give him the attention he craves. He does well with adult woman - just isn't keen on other pets or men, although he has been doing better with other dogs while at our kennels. Rasco has now been living at the kennels since May, with no interest, so please let us know if you might be interested in fostering or adopting this boy. He deserves another chance!

UPDATE - 30 MAY 2021: Unfortunately, we are needing to find a new foster home for Rasco due to his occasional snapping at the children in his current foster home. As we mentioned below, Rasco is great with his favorite human but doesn't enjoy the company of young children.

UPDATE - 29 MAY 2021 (from foster mom): Are you a patient person that is tired of living a kidless, manless, dogless life? Are you looking for your shadow- someone that will follow you around and love you forever and a day? Then Rasco is your guy!!!!

Rasco is still struggling to figure out his place in his new pack. We have learned that once he has chosen “his person,” Rasco can act jealous and protective of that person which comes across as aggression towards kids, other dogs, men. He is much more comfortable interacting with these groups outside than in his own inside space. Rasco is house trained and prefers the soft comfort of furniture to a crate. He walks great on a leash and enjoys being outside. He is not particularly food motivated and doesn’t show any signs of food aggression.

Sometimes his baggage gets in the way, but we know that the perfect adopter is out there.

UPDATE - 23 MAY 2021: Rasco went off to a foster home, so let's see how this boy adjusts to living in a home!

UPDATE - 14 MAY 2021: Rasco is now fully vetted and available for fostering or adoption. Our vet said he has a grade 3/4 heart murmur, so he needs to go to a home where his humans understand he has a heart condition that may worsen with time. No one knows. He is a sweet boy who has no idea he has a heart problem!

NEW - 7 APRIL 2021: Rasco is a good-looking boy who was an owner surrender along with his sister, Teeney, and his mom and dad, Lucy and Stud. They all lived in kennels and were allowed to run free all day on a huge farm. The owner can no longer care for any of them, so they came to BREW. Rasco is friendly and good with other dogs. He will be available soon.
