My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

VELMA


Attributes
Adult-only home preferred
Crate trained
Dog friendly
Good on car rides
Low energy/chill/couch potato
Playful
Requires another dog
Shy
Snuggly
Will potty on leash
Working on housetraining

Velma is a curious, timid little luv bug. She is very sweet but shy. She is scared of sudden movement and sudden noises. Velma enjoys her walks (working on leash manners) but also loves to snuggle on the couch. She can be given the run of the house for short periods but can get destructive if not crated when home alone. Velma really needs another dog for company and confidence. She loves to run in the yard with her foster sister and doesn't try to escape by digging or fence jumping.
Velma has had a few accidents in the house. She has been getting good at using the doggy door. When her foster sister goes out she likes to follow her and will potty outside. She has even started going out on her own. She will do her best with a fenced yard. Also, because she is so skittish she will do best in a calm, adult home with minimal alone time. She really is most comfortable in a quiet environment.
Velma really is the sweetest little girl. She is a very young nine years old and deserves to spend her days with a wonderful family.

NOTE: Dog may be located in any of our six volunteer states (WI, IL, IN, OH, PA, MI).

More about this rescue

Midwest Beagle Rescue, Education and Welfare, Inc is a 501(c)3 non profit, all-volunteer organization located in the Midwest, funded by donations and dedicated to rescuing beagles from high-kill shelters. Our foster homes provide loving temporary care until we are able to find them well matched, carefully screened forever homes. By working with local veterinarians, trainers, and boarding facilities we are able to give proper medical care to the beagles in our program. We also serve as a resource to our community and all pet owners by providing education and information on responsible pet ownership, including the importance of spay/neuter, positive behavior training, and good nutrition. We adopt beagles to families within Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, western Pennsylvania and Wisconsin and have also placed beagles into loving homes in Minnesota, Iowa, and Missouri.
