Opie Beagle Mix Lunenburg, MA

Opie is a 1.5 year old, 20 lb, neutered beagle mix; he is up to date on all his shots, heartworm negative and microchipped. Opie enjoys long walks, jogging, hiking, playing fetch and rope tugging. He loves playing with his 4 legged foster sister too. At the end of the day, he is tuckered out and loves to snuggle up in his crate or on his bed, preferably under a nice warm blanket. He is a very quick learner and follows commands to sit, stay, come, and leave it.
Opie needs an adopter experienced with resource guarding or committed to working with a trainer who is. His resource guarding likely stems from insecurity and manifests itself as guarding of food and his crate or personal space. He has a lot of structure in his foster home and he is doing wonderfully. He needs to feel secure enough in his home that he can just focus on being a dog while leaving the protection role to his human. Having another confident dog with a similar energy level would also be beneficial for him. Opie really enjoys the exercise and structure he gets in his current foster home and would like to find a forever home that could provide the same.

NOTE: Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable, so for most of the dogs we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each dog as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not by breed label.

We expect that all adopted dogs will enroll in a formal dog training class with their new owners. Obedience and training classes are an excellent way to learn more about your newly adopted dog, gain handling and training experience, and improve your relationship with your pet.
