Hooch, who is approximately 2 years old, is an energetic, happy, sweet dog who is friendly, playful, and affectionate. He walks easily on a leash with a no pull harness, though he does need some encouragement to keep it moving when his nose really locks onto something. He is excited to see other dogs, with typical beagle howls on occasion.

Hooch has gotten along well with his foster sister who is an intense 15-month-old. He does not get upset when she steals his toys, or his treats. Hooch would love to have a home with another playful dog.

He is very excited by food and tends to jump towards it, but he is learning his manners and is starting to sit for his own dinner.

Hooch is a fast learner, and house training is going well. He is learning to ask to go out, but he still needs to be monitored closely for other signs. Due to the house-training process, he is crated at night or when his foster family is not home and does well in the crate as he mostly naps.

Success Story:   September 2, 2024

I have renamed him Huck, which is short for Huckleberry. He’s doing great! He and his sister Sophie love to run around together in the backyard, and play tug of war. Romeo (the cat) is not a fan yet…Huck is pretty vocal and that scares him so Romeo wont leave the safety of “his room” yet, but eventually I’m sure Romeo will be fine.

Huck is such a love bug, and has gotten used to sleeping on my bed, and likes to snuggle up on my lap in the recliner. He has definitely made my life more complete!

I hope to take him to the Beagle Bash this year!
