Come meet me at the Gurnee, IL Petsmart adoption day! Sunday, May 06 2012, 11:00am - 2:00pm Big Red here...over here, yep its me! Thank you Midwest BREW for coming to my rescue in Ohio; Im now in my foster home in Northern Illinois. My foster family has two beagle mixes of their own and they all gave me a warm welcome when I arrived! I get along great with both of them even though the resident female beagle mix may try to boss me around. They say Im a Beagle Coonhound mix...dont you think Im a handsome boy??? My foster mom does!!! Im about 19 to 20 inches at the shoulders and weigh about 38 lbs now so does that make me a BIG BEAGLE - COONHOUND BOY??? My foster family thinks Im on the skinny side so Im getting beefed up by getting a little extra food when I get fed. Foster mom is sneaking in the extra food without the resident beagle mixes knowing otherwise they would be really upset. You know how much we hounds LOVE to eat! Since Im on the taller side I can easily see whats on the kitchen counter when I put my paws up onto them. I found out thats a no-no! My foster family doesnt want my paws on their counters because they dont belong there. Darn...everything that I saw up there looked so yummy! Im a real loveable guy who loves attention. Ill snuggle with you on the couch and Ill follow you everywhere at first until Im comfortable letting you out of my eyesight. This might be because Im a tiny bit on the shy side. At first, I was a little scared of my foster dad but now I love him! I also love go through the doggie toy box to play with squeaky toys and Nylabones! Now if they could only train me to pick up all of the toys that I drag out throughout the house. My foster family thinks my previous owners never did any kind of training with me because I dont know too many commands. They are working with me and I almost have the sit command down. I do know come when they call my name. Obedience training would be a plus with my new family and this will help us bond together too. If my forever home has a fenced in yard; a 6 ft fence would be best for keeping me safe because Im so tall I would jump over a 4 ft fence with no problem. A tie out would also be recommended for helping me stay inside the yard too. Im pretty strong and tend to pull on the leash but were working on this to help me. Im crated when no one is home and at night. Sometimes Ill even go in there on my own to take a nap. Im usually pretty quiet in the crate and may bark when someone comes home...Im so happy to see them. So if youre looking for a little on the taller side, lovable kind of boy with medium energy; please click on the green tab above to apply to adopt me. Ill be on the lookout for you. XOXO Red
