Rocky

Status: Fostered

Estimated Age:  Born 1/11/25

Estimated Weight: 15 Pounds at 5 Months (adult weight ~25 pounds).

NEW - 20 JUNE 2025 (from foster family): Rocky is a 5-month-old male beagle puppy who was surrendered to BREW by his owner. His parents’ work commitments were not allowing them to provide him with the attention a puppy needs and also recently found out they were pregnant. They made the difficult decision to do what was best for him and surrender him to BREW.

From his previous owners: He plays well with other dogs as he has been to a boarding facility several times and enjoys playtime with our neighbor's dog. He also plays well with our 4-year-old daughter and neighbor's kids.

Rocky is a typical beagle puppy: adorable, curious, energetic, loves playing with our 3 other beagles, and wants to chew everything. He’s crate trained already (thanks previous owners!) and basically potty trained - as long as you let him out every few hours, as we have had a couple of accidents. He hasn’t yet fully learned to let us know when he needs to go out, but we try to keep him on a schedule so he can relieve himself regularly.

He loves being outside, lying on the deck, and taking in all nature around him - especially sticks. Rocky also loves all dog toys, but you have to keep an eye on him with any soft toys, as he tries to shred and eat them. He loves playing tug and will growl if you try and take the toy, but we don’t think it’s resource guarding, just vocal play. We’re working on the “give” command, as he loves fetching, but doesn’t love giving it back. Rocky is super fun and playful and does well going into a crate (never for punishment) so he can rest (never for punishment). We think he’s still learning to regulate play time with rest time, so we give him crate time to decompress so he doesn’t wear himself out.

Rocky has a high energy level and would do well with another dog (3-5 years old) to show him the ropes and to have as a play buddy. He has some separation anxiety, so another dog will help with that as well. From what we know, it sounds like he does well with children, but as a precaution you should always supervise kid and dog time, regardless of dog age. We haven’t tried walking him on a leash, but his previous owner said he’s not a huge fan of his harness, which I’m sure he can learn with some time.
