“You can take the beagle out of the country, but you can’t take the country out of the beagle!” That’s Duke! As a three-year-old beagle boy, Duke is an old soul with stunning green eyes and a soft coat that rarely sheds. Since being with Midwest BREW in his foster home, Duke has shown his attributes as a mild, well-adjusted, loving, happy boy, with a passion for the outdoors. He weighs around 28 lbs. According to the vet, he is in perfect health. Duke is up to date with all his shots and preventatives.
As mentioned, Duke LOVES being outside. In his previous life before his parents divorced, he spent lots of time outside during the day and came into the house at night, and that lifestyle seems to suit him just well. Duke loves running out the door in the morning to begin tracking scents and announcing his findings with loud “AROOOO’s!” If it’s not raining,
Duke is content being outside until it’s time to come inside. He loves having a doggy door which allows him to come and go throughout the day. Duke is more of a loner but enjoys playing with other dogs at doggy daycare, although he doesn’t like pushy or overly dominant dogs. As far as manners go, Duke is house-trained and doesn’t seem to mind his crate (although there will be some howls of protest at first.) On walks, he pulls on a leash because he must sniff everything, and he does good in the car. Like most beagles, he loves and protects his food. He doesn’t show much interest in toys, and he doesn’t demand much attention. At the end of the night, however, Duke enjoys lap time, ear scratches, and sleeping in the human bed.
Duke’s ideal home will be a house that has a larger, safe, and secured yard with shade where he can continue to thrive in his love of the outdoors. Since he has a typical beagle voice, he will also require an environment that is not too close to neighbors (but preferably dog-friendly ones.) Duke enjoys his freedom outside and would not fare well in a big city or apartment life.
If you feel you have the perfect home and could welcome him into your life for years, please ask about Duke! He’ll make your family grow by four feet!
NOTE: Dog may be located in any of our six volunteer states (WI, IL, IN, OH, PA, MI).
