Meet Twinkie-COME MEET ME!!

COME MEET TWINKIE ON 7/20 FOR AN ADOPTION EVENT AT LULU & BB'S PET MARKET, DECORAH, FROM 10-12!

Twinkie is a 5 year old, 22 lb., 13" Beagle with a heart of gold! Previously she was used as a breeding dog and had never lived inside of a home. Her breeder gave her away at a garage sale and she slipped her collar on her new owner within hours. In the new owner's defense, she was not told any info about Twinkie's past and had no idea that she had never been a house pet.
She spent 15 days scared and on the run until HEART volunteers were finally able to trap her. Her owner lovingly surrendered her to HEART so she could find a home that was more suitable for her insecurities.
Twinkie is doing great in foster care! She learned to walk on a leash pretty good now, but is not crazy about going outside. Who could blame her?
She has been a little “bathroom” shy, which has actually made potty training go flawlessly! She has not had one single accident in the house yet, but we are not labeling her potty trained at this point knowing her past.
She spends her days lounging around the house in the softest places she can find, and keeping an eye and ear out for treats. She has started to get excited and run around a little bit with joy when her foster Mom comes home. It's very cute! She is still a bit shy and must NEVER be off leash when outside. She is not the type of dog that has any recall or that will come up to just anyone if she gets lost, She will retreat.
She is fine around cats and dogs, but has no desire to play at this time. Each day that goes by, she becomes more happy and social in her foster home, so hopefully in time she will find joy in playing with toys or even another dog.
She has had all of her vet work done and is ready to transition into her forever home filled with love??
Her perfect home would be one with a fenced in yard. She is not overly needy, but she does prefer to have people at home. She could tolerate short periods of time alone in a crate or free in the house. In her foster home she has only been crated a couple times, but was very relaxed with it. She could easily live with or without other pets, although an invasive playful pet will be too much for her to be comfortable with. She would also be fine with older calm children. Young children may make her feel insecure. She will make someone a very nice companion.

Her adoption fee is $250 and includes her spay, vaccinations, negative heartworm/Lyme test, flea & tick prevention, 1st month Heartgard, microchip and care with HEART.
She is believed to be 5 years old.
