Meet KC! We think hes a Chihuahua / Beagle mix (our best guess), hes 18 lbs and just under 2 years old. Hes still has a lot of puppy energy and is ready to play! He currently lives with 3 senior dogs and a 2-year-old toddler, and he does great with everyone.
Now let us explain why we think hes part Beagle he is LOUD. Thankful he mostly uses his voice when hes super excited (like a new person is just getting home or hes running around in the yard), or when his foster family has to leave the house without him. In both instances, he does calm down after a few minutes, but the volume his little body produces can be jarring. We think some of it is tied to separation anxiety, but were hopefully with time that separation anxiety will lessen, as he has unfortunately been moved around a lot in his short life before he came to us.
KC would love a family who is home a lot that would let him be involved in whatever is happening. Hes happiest when hes right underfoot, helping you out with whatever youre doing! And when its time to relax, hell be right there with you too. Hes a Velcro dog to the max.
KC is pretty neutral with the other dogs in the home, so he doesnt need a four-legged companion, but hes very well behaved with other dogs. Hes 100% potty trained, does well in the crate after a short protest, and is a great listener in general. We wouldnt recommend him for apartment living due to his volume and his leash walking could use some practice. With some basic structure and consistency, KC will make an amazing addition to the family!
