Naomi - fostered in Table Rock NE (1.5 hours south of Omaha)

Little Miss Naomi has pep and sass and throws out joy like a flower girl tosses rose petals. She's about 2 years old, and 25 lbs.<br/><br/>She seems to be a beagle and Dachshund mix – some would call her a “Doxle,” others might all her a “Beagschund,” although they may not be able to pronounce it. She has the color, the soft silky fur, and the always curious enthusiastic attitude of both breeds It is said that this mixture combines the gentle and friendly demeanor of Beagle with the vigor and independence of Dachshund. That would be a fair description!<br/><br/>How did such a wonderful dog end up homeless? We don't know where she came from originally. However, here is her story. A rescuer down in Missouri was driving home in the pouring rain. She saw a small dog cross the highway and pulled over to help her. It was cold and Naomi was trying to get under a tarp to get out of the rain. She was cold and shivering and scared and was not about to be caught. A trap that automatically shuts on its own was set and she finally went in and was caught. No more shivering in the rain for this small girl. <br/><br/>Naomi is still a bit skittish, acting like she can hardly believe that someone will want to pet her. At night she immediately scoots under the bed to find safety (even though she is now safe). Then she sticks her nose out to check if it is safe and then her head so she can look. Then she slides out to be prance and be petted. At the slightest fast movement, she's back under the bed, where she sleeps. <br/><br/>Do you want a dog who will cuddle up to you 24/7, who will never forsake your lap, a couch potato who gives the great outdoors short shrift? If so, Naomi is not the dog for you. She loves attention and she loves to be loved up, but only once she's determined it's safe, so just give her a bit of time. She also prefers females mostly, and is unsure around men. <br/><br/>Does she get along with cats? Probably not. She is a bottle of mischief that few cats would tolerate.<br/><br/>Does she get along with kids? There are none in her foster home, but she has enthusiastically welcomed any visitor. <br/><br/>Will she walk on a leash? She's learning and doing well.<br/><br/>Naomi is about 25 lbs, spayed, chipped, and up to date on vaccines. She is heartworm negative and on monthly heartworm preventative. She is a huggable, adorable, cheerful, endearing goof ball. Who knows how she came to be searching for safety under a tarp on a cold rainy day? Who knows what wonderful great things await her with a family of her very own?<br/><br/>Naomi is fostered in southeast Nebraska, 90 minutes to KC and Omaha. Her foster may be able to meet any potential family halfway.<br/><br/>If interested in being Naomi's shelter from future storms, please fill out the adoption application at www.bassetandbeagle.org. Her adoption fee is $300
