Marnie is a Beagle cross of about 8 years who is having a great time in a foster home near Salisbury, South Wiltshire while she waits for someone to offer her a permanent home.
Marnie is great with other dogs so she’d be happy living with one or two. She can be a bit exuberant though. Her housemates would need to be OK with her bounciness. Life is such fun, right?!
She hasn’t been cat tested but she does like to chase things and there aren’t many cats who really enjoy that game.
It’s thought Marnie would enjoy living with dog savvy children from age 8, as she does like to gallivant with like-minded fun-loving people. She’s fond of lots of fuss and adoration too!
Marnie walks beautifully on the lead! She’s happy meeting other dogs and doesn’t mind traffic. In the garden she has good recall but she hasn’t been off lead on walks since being in foster care. Beagles are well known for being Sniffers-and-Wanderers. Their talent for selective deafness is unrivalled among dog-kind, particularly when there’s an exciting smell! It might be best to keep her on a retractable lead. She needs at least one half hour walk everyday for snuffling and exploring, and she probably wouldn’t turn her nose up at a second.
Marnie’s favourite pastimes: Eating, foraging, cuddles and running around having fun!
Marnie’s dislikes: Probably due to her recent experiences, Marnie is scared of being in enclosed spaces on her own and has a fear of brooms or anything else which resembles a “grabber”. Poor little girl!
Marnie would like an active, cheerful family to match her buoyant nature. A good sized, completely secure garden is a must as she does love to bound about, but is a bit of a Houdini! She needs someone who will set clear boundaries for her and be calm and consistent in reminding her of them when necessary. For instance, if you don’t want her to get up on the coffee table to eat the biscuits you’ve just laid out for a visitor, she’ll need you to explain that to her. She seems to think that any food she can reach, even if it’s in someone’s hand, probably belongs to her! Having someone around most of the time for fuss, cuddles and just good company will keep her very happy!
Marnie is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped and flea/worm treated. She recently had surgery to amputate a toe but once this has totally healed up, she’ll be in fine fettle.
