Bagel

Meet Bagel<br/><br/>Vibe Check:<br/>Retired from Ridglan Farms, wanting to forget what she has endured. Ready for the good life.<br/><br/>Fun Fact:<br/>Bagel thinks she is a cat. She loves cat toys for some reason<br/><br/>Rescue: Albert's Dog Lounge<br/>Age: Adult<br/>Size: Medium<br/>Fostered in: Whitewater, Wisconsin<br/><br/>Bagel's Origin Story:<br/>Like all the beagles released from Ridglan Farm, Bagel has not had a life full of family, love, and socialization. She will need patience and understanding to make up for lost time.<br/><br/>Health Notes:<br/>Bagel is spayed and is fully up to date on her vetting. She is currently eating a raw diet, and it is recommended that an adopter continue with this to ensure that her tummy remains stable. Many of the beagles that came out of RF had significant digestive issues for a while, and the raw diet seems to have stabilized that. The Ridglan beagles have been found to be prone to vaccine reactions. She will need to receive Benadryl 24 hours before and 24 hours after vaccines to prevent this going forward. <br/><br/>Personality:<br/>Bagel is trying so hard to learn to be brave. She has overcome a lot of trauma in his five weeks of freedom. She will need help learning how to leash walk, as she panics when the leash comes out. She doesn't understand what is happening, though it is improving. She is trying hard, but the world is still a big, scary place, and she will need a family who is willing to go at her pace and help her acclimate.<br/><br/>While she is still people-shy, she does warm up to you at her own pace. She has met neighbor children and does ok with them, but any children would need to be respectful of her fear. She is currently living with a pair of Australian Shepherds and is indifferent to them, though she will follow their lead. She loves the family cats and we are pretty sure she thinks she is one.<br/><br/><br/>Family Matters:<br/>Bagel would benefit from a confident dog sibling who will be able to guide her in the ways of being a dog. She would love a kitty sibling also.<br/><br/>She struggles with you being gone, and will sing her beagle song and cry while pacing. She has gotten much better about this and only does it for 10-15 minutes before she settles, but she is likely not a great match for someone with shared walls.<br/><br/><br/>Things Bagel Loves<br/><br/>Cat toys<br/>Affection, but on her terms (she will approach when she wants it)<br/>Sniffy yard patrols<br/>Bones to chew on<br/>Warm weather<br/>Life outside a cage<br/><br/>Signature Move: <br/>Spinning in a circle excitedly when she sees you, then nibbling your fingers in happiness.<br/><br/><br/>Bucket List:<br/>Learning how to be a pet<br/>Her own fluffy bed<br/>A dish that will always have enough healthy food to fill her belly<br/>Learning not to fear outside<br/>Space to sniff with that beagle nose<br/>A patient, loving family with soft hands and lots of love to offer<br/><br/><br/>A Few House Rules:<br/>Because these dogs have been through so much, it is our job as those entrusted with their care to be very thoughtful in their placement.
