LC came to us via our vet from a local kill shelter. It looks like he was hit by a car although it seems he has had no broken bones he does have some road rash and he limps on one of his back leg He has a wonderful personality and loves other dogs. He looks like a hunting dog that was abandoned. He is a true beagle all nose to the ground when on a walk. He does have a sensitive side and can be a big baby about being grab quickly or loud noises. HE is a "special needs" dog and we want to find a home that knows the breed and loves them!

Foster Update 7/18/11: LC has only been here for 2 days.  After being a little cautious at first, he soon was right at home.  He is such a sweet, loving doggie  - he loves people and attention.  Also he gets along with my dog who is twice his size - he follows he all around the yard.  He loves the fenced in yard.   He has no problem with the cats, is just careful with them so they don't swat at him.  He sleeps in his bed through the night, is completely house trained.  There doesn't seem to be a need for a crate.  So far, his only bad trait is he likes to sleep on the sofa or chair.  I just put a throw down and let him sleep.  He knows No and usually comes when called.  He could use a little course in puppy training.  He will make a wonderful small pet for children,other dogs. He wants to follow you wherever you go and hates for you to leave him - but seems to do alright till you come back as long as its not too long.  He has a lot of love to give!

According to www.dogbreedinfo.com, the Beagle is one of the most popular scent hounds because of his energy, willingness, and merry, sweet disposition. The breed probably originated as a cross between the Harrier and other hounds in England. The Beagle has been used in packs, alone, and in pairs, for hunting hare, pheasant and quail. He has also served as an excellent narcotics detection dog and makes a fine family companion. The Beagle is a gentle, sweet, lively and curious dog that just loves everyone! A happy little tail-wagger! Sociable, brave and intelligent. Calm and loving. Excellent with children and generally good with other dogs, but should not be trusted with non-canine pets, unless they are socialized with cats and other household animals when they are young. Beagles have minds of their own. They are determined and watchful and require patient, firm training. This breed doesn't like being left alone. Consider buying two if you will be gone a lot. A Beagle has a loud baying cry that was a delight to hunting horsemen, but can be disturbing to family and neighbors. Beagles have a tendency to follow their own noses. They may take off on their own exploration if let off their leash in an unfenced area. Energetic and possessing great stamina, the Beagle needs plenty of exercise, but a yard of reasonable size will take care of most of its requirements. A brisk daily walk will cover the rest. Always use a lead when walking this breed or you will be running the risk of it disappearing in search of wild game. They have a life expectancy of about 12-15 years.
