Story
CORI Female 8 years Attributes Adult home only preferred Single dog home Dog friendly Good w/cats Requires a fence Housetrained Good in cars Cori is a sweet beagle girl with an adorable underbite. She was obviously very much loved in her previous home, but sadly, her mom passed away. Now, at 8 years old, Cori is looking for a forever home where she can be spoiled again. An adult-only home where she can have ample time to settle in would be best for Cori. She would prefer a quiet lifestyle (no cities or busy neighborhoods for Cori) and would like to be the only dog in the household. That being said, Cori enjoys her visits to doggy daycare where she can socialize with other dogs. Cori also does well with cats. Cori will thrive in a home where she has a regular routine and will be walked daily so her beagle nose can be used to its fullest potential. She’s house trained, but she doesn’t potty on leash, so a fenced yard is a must. Car rides with Cori are a breeze – she’s the perfect passenger when it’s time to hit the road! Because Cori was displaying some behavior that we wanted to better understand, we sent her to a certified professional dog trainer. Cori was already on medication for general anxiety, and she underwent thorough behavioral and medical evaluations to determine if there was something else that was affecting her behavior. We discovered that Cori’s underbite was causing a lot of jaw pain, and her discomfort was affecting how she interacted with the world. Since starting daily anti-inflammatory medication, Cori has bloomed beautifully. According to her trainer, she now has a good appetite and is a “total foodie.” Her confidence has increased, she’s more playful and more at ease meeting new people, and she has learned to ignore distractions while she’s on leash. Best of all, Cori is now ready to find her new forever home. If Cori seems like the beagle buddy you’ve been looking for, please contact Midwest BREW to learn more about her. NOTE: Dog may be located in any of our six volunteer states (WI, IL, IN, OH, PA, MI).

Story
DAKOTA 8 years Attributes Dog friendly Medium energy Good in cars Good with children Good in apartments Housetrained Potties on leash Dashingly handsome Dakota is affectionately described by his foster mom as “the best big smushy love bug!” At 8 ½ years old, Dakota has a moderate energy level, but he’s been known to go into zoomie mode when he’s in a playful mood. He enjoys a good game of fetch and appreciates the creature comforts of snuggling with his people, enjoying his toys and curling up at bedtime in his dog bed tucked in under his blankets. Dakota would like a home where his people are home at least half of the time so he can have as much attention as possible. At 37 pounds, Dakota is working on getting back into shape; he’s already lost 4 ½ pounds, and he has 5 more to go. His new family will need to ensure he has a balanced diet and will need to take him on regular walks, which should be easy as he walks well on leash. He also rides well in the car, so trips to the park with Dakota for extra walks and exercise will be a breeze. If it’s raining and Dakota needs to go outside (he’s housetrained with just the occasional accident), a raincoat is a must as he definitely does not like the rain! Dakota also has allergies and takes Apoquel to keep them under control. Dakota is quite a sociable fellow. He enjoys spending time with his people and is fantastic with children – he will sit with them for hours and let them pet him. He likes the company of other dogs and would do equally well as an only dog or in a home with canine siblings. For a beagle, Dakota is pretty quiet, although he doesn’t hesitate to let you know when it’s time to eat! He also barks as a greeting when he first meets new dogs and people just to show them how excited he is to make their acquaintance. If this sociable, friendly fellow sounds like he’d make the perfect addition to your family, please contact Midwest BREW to learn more about him. NOTE: Dog may be located in any of our six volunteer states (WI, IL, IN, OH, PA, MI).

Story
Sam is a sweet and loving dog who needs an experienced owner to give him a safe home. Sam has been with us since he was a puppy and he’s an incredibly smart and high energy dog. Unfortunately, he has some behavioral problems and struggles with reactivity and anxiety. He has been through extensive behavioral training and has come a long way. But, we are expecting our first child, and unfortunately Sam’s behavior can be unpredictable. He has bitten a handful of times in his life, when he was afraid or stressed. It has not happened often, and he has never caused significant injury to the person. However, with a baby on the way, we can’t risk his behaviors in our home. We are heartbroken to rehome him, because Sam is such a beautiful dog and he can be so incredibly sweet. We know there is a home out there for him where he can continue to grow and be safe. He just needs an experienced owner who can give him lots of love and activity.

Story
Meet Artemisia, a beautiful young pup ready for a fresh start. Artemisia (or "Arte," as we call her here) came to us as a stray, so we don't know much about her background. In care with us, she's been working on coming out of her shell, so we are looking for a family with lots of dog experience to work on navigating this whole new world with her. Our behavior team would be glad to speak with any potential families to set Arte up for success. When she warms up, Arte enjoys toys and belly rubs. She also likes to play with her canine friends, though she can get rowdy with them. We always encourage any potential dog roommates meet prior to adoption to ensure a good fit. Is there room in your home to give Artemisia a second chance at forever? Meet her today! Humane Animal Rescue of Pittsburgh East End- 6926 Hamilton Ave Pittsburgh, Pa 15208 Kennel License #: 1043

Meet Tribeca! Tribeca came to us as a stray so we don't know much about her past but we know that she's an energetic girl with lots of love to pass around. She is a super fan of toys and will need plenty of enrichment in her new home to keep her busy mind active. She would do best in a home without young children as she's still working on her manners. If you're looking for a playful and bubbly addition to your family, come meet Tribeca today!

Story
Meet Walden! This sweet big old middle-aged fella came to us as a stray and we've been in love ever since. He is strong, confident and wise, and you can tell off the first glance. He has an adorable smile and loves showing his teefers to everybody, he is playful and silly and loves getting pet. He can be a bit selective about what dogs he wants to be friends with, but he doesn't have those preferences when it comes to humans. It might take him a bit to warm up, but once he does, you will have a loyal bud for the rest of your life! Come down and meet Walden today :) Humane Animal Rescue of Pittsburgh East End- 6926 Hamilton Ave Pittsburgh, Pa 15208 Kennel License #: 1043
