Sue

Despite a challenging past in a hoarding situation, Sue is a resilient and affectionate senior Beagle making wonderful progress in her foster home. She thrives in the company of other dogs, easily making friends and finding comfort and happiness when surrounded by canine companions. Sue is friendly and curious at the dog park, enjoying sniffing around, and while initially shy with humans, she melts into attention once she feels safe. Her playful spirit earns her the nickname "Run Around Sue" as she zips in circles, full of energy until naptime.

As a Beagle, Sue embodies many of the breed's classic traits: a keen sense of smell, a love for exploring, and a generally good-natured disposition. She enjoys walks, though her excitement to sniff means she zig-zags on the leash. Beagles are known for their vocalizations, and Sue uses her barks effectively to communicate her needs, especially for bathroom breaks. She is crate trained and finds security in her personal space. Her short coat requires low grooming, mostly brushing to manage moderate shedding, and her moderate energy level means she enjoys daily walks and playtime.

Sue would flourish in a home with another dog or two to provide companionship and help her continue building confidence. A fenced yard where she can safely explore and indulge her Beagle instincts is essential, as she loves being outdoors and has not shown any escape attempts from a secure area. She is not suitable for a home where she would be left alone for long periods. With patience, praise, and a loving environment that understands her past, Sue will continue to blossom into a devoted and cherished family member.
