Kelly

*** AVAILABLE ON-SITE FRIDAYS AND SATURDAYS *** Kelly is a slightly anxious but definitely sweet little beagle mix who is hoping for a forever person or family who will give her the patience and time she needs to become the perfect dog she is meant to be. As you can see, she is adorable, around 15 pounds with a short tri-color coat and freckled face...she looks like a tiny St. Bernard with short and slightly bowed legs! While her history before rescue is uncertain, she needed a day in her foster home to decompress before deciding the pups in the home could be trusted and another couple of days to decide her foster parents were okay, too. Once she did, she has settled into the most loving, submissive girl who is her very happiest when she is cuddled on the couch or snuggled up in a soft bed near her people. Initially she did a fair amount of whining... She was worried about the goings-on of the house and likes to keep an eye on things. Once she realized that no one was going anywhere, she seemed quite content and abandoned the whining altogether (she has not shown herself to be a barker). Her future family should be aware that she has shown some tendencies to protect her food, probably a remnant of not knowing where her next meal might come from! She likes to have her own space to enjoy her meals, and she takes treats like a perfect little lady. She would prefer a quiet, laid-back home with adults and perhaps older children, but she would likely not be eager to play or snuggle with small kids. She is doing well with house-breaking with a consistent schedule and positive reinforcement; she enjoys the pet door and fenced yard. She could take or leave a canine sibling.... Her humans are her top priority, and she's hoping someone out there will make her THEIR top priority! Whomever that is will be rewarded with endless love and devotion from this sweet soul.
