Meet Kellam, a gentle young beagle mix with the softest long ears and an incredibly sweet soul. When she first arrived in foster care, she was quite shy, but she has truly blossomed. These days, she frolics in the yard, bounces with joy, and happily squeaks her toys like it's her favorite pastime. She adores people she knows and will gladly roll onto her back for belly rubs once she feels comfortable.
Kellam can be timid with new people at first, but she's learning to warm up more quickly every week. She has even met her foster's neighbors' young children (under 8) and, while a little cautious, was very sweet and allowed them to pet her without much introduction. Her sweetness level is truly off the charts - she's an avid snuggler who loves sleeping next to you or curling up in the last warm spot you left.
Her activity level sits on the higher end of medium. Kellam absolutely loves to play with her foster siblings, happily matching a rough-and-tumble play style when invited, but she's just as content dialing it back with a gentler playmate. She also enjoyed a four-mile hike with friends and, once her energy is out, is perfectly content to nap for the rest of the afternoon.
Kellam does wonderfully with other animals. She's curious about cats but has never barked at or chased them, and she's politely submissive with the resident dog. While she doesn't always need to play, she coexists peacefully and confidently in a multi-pet home.
She has not had a single accident in her crate and is learning the basics of leash walking. Loud, sudden noises can spook her, especially in busier neighborhoods, and she tends to prefer the safety of being indoors. She's more confident when walking with her canine buddies and continues to improve every week. While she's still polishing her house-training skills, she does seem to understand basic "gotta go" signals. A home with a fenced yard or easy access to quiet, low-traffic nature trails would make her transition much smoother.
With her quiet nature (she hardly ever barks), gentle heart, and loving personality, Kellam will thrive in a patient, kind home willing to give her the time she needs to settle in. She's an absolutely delightful lady who is sure to complete one very lucky family.
