Starsky the Beagle

Well, we have a foster dog...bringing us to an even split of dogs and cats (3 & 3). We agreed to foster the 1-year-old because he is a rescue who was scared out of his mind in the kennel. We figured he would need lots of confidence boosting to come out of his shell. Errrr...he really just needs some good training. He is a bit skitish and scared - you look at him and he cowers - but he is also basically a puppy. He wants to play with our dogs, but they don't want to play with him. He even tried playing with the cats. When left alone, he destroyed the house, so now he is getting crate-trained. We think he is really a good dog, but he would be better off in a foster home with more space (so neighbors don't hear him howling in his crate) and younger dogs that want to play with him. For now, we're all stuck with each other.
