Nittany Beagle Rescue - Patches

Bio at the Time of Adoption

Hi! I'm Patches! I need a home because my person passed away. I'm a very affectionate guy & I love people! I'm in a foster home with a child, other dogs & a cat, & I'm doing great! Before that, I had lived with 3 other male beagles outside as a hunting dog. I LOVE living in a home with people! I love to lay on the couch, get belly rubs, be petted & go for walks! I crave attention & I'm a people-pleaser! I love being with others! But if I need a little space, I just move to a different area. Even though I'm in a foster home with a young child, I will be placed in a home with older children or no children. We will consider placing Patches in a home with a younger child if the child has considerable experience with older dogs. Patches needs a home with a securely fenced yard since he has been known to dig under a fence. Patches walks really well on a leash - except that he chews on the leash - so he needs work on that. He also chews on seatbelts. So it may be best to crate Patches when traveling in a car. Patches has adjusted well to living in a home. He marked his territory when he 1st entered his foster home (which is to be expected), but hasn't had an accident since! He may need a little work on house manners when he 1st goes into his forever home, but he learns really fast! Patches is 8 years old & neutered. Please think about making Patches part of your family!
