Meet Bootsie
Bootsie has absolutely delighted her foster mom with how easily she has adjusted, how well she is getting along with her other dog and how loving and affectionate she is. When Bootsie is especially happy or excited she makes cute little whines. Her personality is gentle and submissive, and when meeting new people she greets them happily, wagging her tail and wants to lick their hands. Bootsie was surrendered to a Louisiana shelter along with Lolly, also available for adoption. Squirrels and rabbits do not interest Bootsie, but she will chase cats when they run. She has been 100% housebroken from the day she arrived. She had to learn to go on a leash and showed her foster mom that she can hold it for a very long time. Bootsie is currently allowed to sleep in bed at night with foster mom and the other dog. She is a low energy dog but does not like to be left alone. When foster mom does goes out for a few hours, Bootsie is crated but she does vocalize her discontent with the situation. Bootsie very much enjoys her walks and a good roll in the grass. As is typical for a beagle, she will pull a little to get to places she really wants to smell. She is heartworm positive and we expect her treatment to be scheduled mid July.
