My story

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

After moving to a smaller home & welcoming a new baby, we've made the difficult decision to rehome our beloved Dexter. He's a 50 lb spunky beagle who loves to snuggle. Dexter needs an experienced owner in a child-free home. While he hasn't lived with cats in 1.5 years, he was very good with them then. He gets along with large dogs but has been snippy with the tiny older dog in the house. Dexter is partially house-trained, he asks to go outside mostly but will use pee pads, especially in bad weather.

The main reason for rehoming is increased aggression since our move. Dexter is food-aggressive & possessive of us. He cannot be approached while eating or resting with us. We believe the smaller space & increased noise in neighborhood are causing him extreme stress. With a proper training & a structured spacious new home we believe Dexter can thrive return to his happy, healthy self. We're happy to share more details on his history & behaviors with interested adopters.
