BJ

Hello Humans! My name is BJ, and I am a very overweight Beagle mix, about 6.5 years old, now weighing 67 pounds when I should weigh about 35-40 (I weighed 74 lbs when my pictures were taken, so I have already lost 7 lbs!!). I was living a good life in San Antonio, Texas, with my owner and my senior doggy housemate, Poppy, but unfortunately, our owner passed away. We moved in with relatives until a rescue could be found, and we are now in a foster home for 4 Little Paws Rescue, and are looking for forever homes.<br/><br/>I am a VERY sweet and friendly boy who was being WAY over-fed by home-help aides while my owner was in hospice. I hear that I basically look like a big Twinkie on legs, but I have not lost my ability or willingness to go for walks on a leash. I just need to take some resting breaks along the way, but my enthusiasm is obvious. While at home with nothing to do and bored, I am a total couch potato. I enjoy a bit of playtime with Poppy, and she’s quite the trooper, weighing in at only 17 lbs. Otherwise, I am friendly with other dogs, but not playful with them, and I truly don't care for the “in-your-face” type of dog. I would be best either by myself or with another calm senior dog or lazy dog housemate. I am very affectionate, loving pets and sharing kisses, and I am a very well-behaved boy. I never bark, and I am fully housebroken. I think it's a given that I love doggy treats, but I’m not too interested in doggy toys. I am hoping for a healthier life with someone interested in helping me turn things around, go for more walks, eat healthier snacks, or no snacks at all, so I can have more energy and a more handsome physique than resembling a Twinkie, LOL!<br/>Adoption Fee: $400<br/><br/>LOOKING FOR AN APPLICATION?
