Rehoming 4 year old Blue Tick beagle

Wilmslow Road near Alpine Road, Baltimore MD

Description

We have had Beasley, a 4 year old rescue, for 3 years and we love him dearly but my other dog attacks him. I've told myself for years that they get along more than they fight, but a friend who is an animal behaviorist came to visit and said Beasley is showing signs that he is terrified of my other dog and that rehoming would be in his best interests. I believe Beasley is a purebred Blue Tick beagle, but he is a rescue so I can't say for sure. Beagles are high maintenance dogs! Someone should know what they're getting into when adopting a beagle. This guy is so loving though--he curls right up next to me every chance he gets. Beasley experienced some pretty significant abuse before coming to us, so whoever adopts him should have experience with traumatized dogs. For example, we've never hurt him, but one time when he saw my daughter pull out a belt, he started shaking all over. Since we got him when he was a little over 1, that means he was beaten with a belt as a puppy. He can only go to a home that uses non-punitive training methods. He is highly motivated by treats--I've found that to be the best way to reward Beasley for desired behavior. Also, although he loves kids and is great when encountering them on walks, when they come to the house, etc., he should not live in a home with kids since he gets scared when people approach him when he's sleeping and he will snap. Beasley is not an easy dog, in addition to the above, he barks a lot! And loudly! I've actually considered debarking surgery for him, something I'd never ordinarily consider. But for someone willing to give him the time, patience, understanding he deserves, he will definitely reward you with a lot of affection and love. If I had no other animals, I wouldn't dream of giving him up.
