Andy is a special beagle who needs a special home. When he first arrived in July 2020 he was paralyzed with fear, but since that time he has made remarkable progress and we believe he is now ready for adoption to the right family. Andy will blossom in a quiet home with someone who is able to spend a good amount of time with him, either petting him or keeping him company out in the yard. Andy is very sweet, quiet and loves getting affection from his person. We also feel strongly that Andy will need another confident and friendly dog to help him and would require a fenced yard. He will go on short leash walks but is definitely more comfortable roaming freely in his own safe garden. He does well with house training if taken out regularly or has access to a dog door. He has learned to use a dog door with a soft plastic flap. He will also go potty on a pee pad if he is unable to go out often. He likes to sleep in a quiet place on a dog bed and particularly likes walk-in closets as his safe place. In his foster home he eats his meals and sleeps in the master closet -- with the door open. He prefers to eat without anyone in the room with him. He does not care much for the crate, but his foster parents never felt like he needed to be crated. He is not destructive at all and can be left to free roam when alone, and will likely stay on his bed. Andy does great with other dogs but will get nervous around a dog who wants to jump on him all of the time. Cats are okay too - he ignores the cat in his foster home even when the cat wants to engage with him. Loving this special dog is a distinct pleasure and his gentle trust is food for your soul.
