Brown Lee, nicknamed Bonnie, is a special small beagle with an adorable face and distinctive persona.  She enjoys wandering and romping in the fenced yard, with much sniffing and a bit of digging.  She’s eager for walks and comfortable as we pass by other dogs and their families.  She gets a bit excited when a squirrel scoots by and will try to follow it up the tree.

At home, she is typically quiet and close by. She likes pets and belly rubs but so far has not snuggled in our laps. She is very gentle when taking treats – and likes to reach for them, or just nibble them from the floor. She eats well and potties on and off leash.

She largely ignores our very bouncy 2 year old beagle, Pogo, and prefers to just relax on the couch or her bed.  You can see them both in the photo. She is wonderful with our grandchildren, ages 5 and 2.  She rarely barks but has been known to yap at tradesmen and deer. 

She sleeps in her crate at night and has the run of the house during the day.  We are retired and most times one of us is home, but she has done fine when we are both gone.

As with some rescues, Brown Lee seems to have had a hard time for her first 4 years.  She was a breeder and likely had very little human contact.  She arrived skittish and submissive, often cowering away from us.  She warmed up day by day, at her own pace, as she became comfortable with us and this home.  Her confidence and trust have grown a lot, in just few weeks. As her special personality emerges, it is obvious to us that she has much joy and love to share. 

We think Brown Lee will do best with a patient family that is experienced with rescue dogs. Other positives are a fenced yard, daily walks, and an older calmer dog already in home – or no dog.  We adore her, and look forward to helping her find her forever family.
