While Pete can get into places he should not, he is beginning to understand obedience commands, respects a spray from a water bottle and very eager to please. While his foster parents describe him as a perfect angel, he has shown some interest in chewing inappropriate things. Shoes, remotes, coins and any small object that will feel good in a beagles mouth will need to be carefully put out of his reach. <br/><br/>Soooooo, Pete is the Perfect beagle except he does have a special need. He has a condition known as Paroxysmal Dyskinesia - Canine Movement Disorder. This means he may have occasional episodes of unusual movement or muscle cramping. During these episodes, Pete remains awake, alert, and responsive, and once they pass, he returns to his normal self. The episodes are unpredictable but typically short and do not affect his lifespan or overall quality of life. Many dogs with this condition live happy, full lives, especially with a calm routine and supportive care. Although episodes an infrequent (less than 1/month) and initiate from his brain, these are not seizures. For an interested adopter, we have videos of ann event we can share with you. <br/><br/>Pete seems to be a very adaptable and should do well in most homes environments. An apartment, condo or free standing home with a fenced in area that will allow him to run, explore or bask in the sunshine could be a perfect place to his forever home. An additional dog and/or older child would also work out fine for this sweet little guy.
