Please help! I have a male beagle I need to rehome. We are near Detroit. His birthday is February 17, 2019. His is AKC, utd on shots, heart worm medicine, flea medicine, microchipped and neutered. He has to go to a home with no kids, preferable a single male who will hunt him a
nd or make him the center of his world. We are rehoming because he’s bitten my son quite a few times regardless of our attempts to stop this behavior. His bite to my child’s face last week was the last time I could let it go. My son picked him up to take him inside because he was tracking a squirrel and bothering my neighbors, he launched at his face and bit his cheek. I can’t keep him as I have small children at my house very often and I am afraid he will bite a kid that’s not mine and I’ll have to put him down. It’s not fair to him to lock him up when the kids are over as he was locked in a cage for 6 months solid his first year of life. This poor baby came to me at 8 months old, under weight, missing patches of hair because the ants in his cage were eating him, abused, scared and unsure of himself. My mom was the breeder and the people who bought him called her to return him or take him to a shelter. I thought we could be his forever home. We have worked very hard to make him happy and secure. But I can’t break the dominance he feels over anyone but myself. He even bullies my 90 lb German Shepard!!! Because of his past, whoever he is homed with will HAVE to keep him for the rest of his life. He wants to hunt and runs well with my parents’ dogs, but will not let any strange animals in my house. He’s really very sweet with me though. Always wants to be nose to nose when I come home from work. He has it in him to be a great dog. He just needs a single owner without children that will give him the life he deserves. I don’t want to take him to a shelter. I do not want him left in a kennel like that ever again. However, he is kennel trained with us, he’ll willing go in his when we have to leave, but I hate it for him cause he just looks sad. If anyone knows anyone interested in taking on this baby for the rest of his life, please let me know. Thank you.
