Avalon
Avalon is a beagle/boxer/terrier mix, and at a little over a year old, she’s chock-full of energy. She’d make
a great companion for an avid walker, hiker or runner, or an active family with children over the age of 12.
A home with a fenced-in yard where she can burn off her excess energy by running and playing would be
ideal. Avalon loves water, so she would be delighted to have a kiddie pool to romp in during the summer
months. Playtime with other dogs is a serious business for Avalon, so supervision while she’s playing is a
must.
She’s cautious around strangers and dogs she hasn’t met yet but will warm up to them if given time she
needs to get to know them.
Avalon’s foster mom says that she a very smart girl and is currently in training where she’s polishing up
her obedience basics such as “sit,” “wait,” and “come,” and she has learned to walk nicely on a leash.
Avalon rides well in the car and goes to doggy daycare two or three days a week, where she really seems
to enjoy hanging out and playing with her friends there.
Her foster mom says she’s very food motivated and “eats like a vacuum” (show us a beagle who
doesn’t!), so if there are other dogs in the house, she should be fed separately in a crate. When it’s time
to go to sleep, Avalon is equally happy to snuggle up in a dog bed or people bed – she just wants to be
comfy! She’s housetrained with the use of a doggy door.
