Story

Fiona the Lemon Beagle is most comfortable around other dogs and wants to run and play with them. She has made many big steps on her new journey after a life of breeding in a puppy mill. She will take pets in her kennel but not outside of it yet. She has been brave and taken a treat from her foster mom's outstretched hand. She loves to drag all the toys and blankets outside. Fiona has been spending more time out of her kennel but is still hesitant of getting too close. She needs a home with another dog that is mostly calm and will be a companion to her as she learns to become a happy & confident dog. She is going to need a person with much patience and time to work with her. Fiona cannot live with children as they would frighten her. She also fears most adults and will need constant reassurance and gentle guidance. She continues to get more comfortable each day. Requirements for Fiona include an experienced dog home with excellent veterinary reference; experience with a mill dog a plus; secure fenced yard, another gentle dog companion in the home; no young children as they will frighten her. She does not walk well on a leash as that is completely new to her. She is scared of pretty much everything, people, noises, etc.... but making great steps and getting braver every day!
