Butternut

Butternut is a Beagle pup born 6/22/22 who spent her early months in a breeding environment and was recently released to rescue. She has the prettiest golden/tan eyes, pretty gray/cream/tan markings, and those ears! Pictures just don't do her justice. She is the sweetest, prettiest little girl with an adorable constant tail wag. Typical of many breeder releases, Butternut was a little timid when we first brought her home, but she quickly learned that humans are pretty great and enjoys being near them. She especially loves kids and does very well with them. She loves every animal she has ever met, (cats,dogs,chickens) and wriggles with excitement whenever one is near. She is doing very well with leash training. She would love a fenced yard to run in, but she does very well on a tie out. In the house, she enjoys exploring. She can't reach the counter tops, but she definitely tries. She has been doing great with house training and will potty outside if we bring her out regularly. She is still pottying on a pad indoors now and then, but has never soiled her crate. Speaking of her crate, it wasn't her favorite place at first. But she has learned to "kennel up" on command and doesn't make a peep once she's inside. She sleeps quietly through the night and has been left home in her kennel during the day for up to 6-7 hours without any issue. She doesn't chew on inappropriate things and prefers to always have a toy nearby. Butternut isn't a fan of being held and carried. She would prefer to crawl next to you when she is ready for snuggles, which is almost all the time. But she'll take pats and hugs anytime. Typical of her breed, she uses her nose a lot. She is very happy when exploring outside on little sniff walks. Also typical of her breed, she does have a loud hound bark and sometimes howls. However, we haven't found her to be an excessive barker. Typically, she barks if she's lonely or if other dogs around her are barking. If you are looking for a smaller breed that is smart, very loving, medium energy and highly entertaining, Butternut might be the perfect pup for you!
