Festus is a 7-year-old beagle with a lot of heart and a dash of stubbornness. He bonds closely to his people and wants to be right at their side, soaking up all the attention he can get. While Festus has lived with other dogs and will play once he's comfortable, he may need some time to warm up and definitely loves being the center of his human's world. He'd probably thrive best as the only dog or with a canine companion who doesn’t mind Festus running the show sometimes. Leash walks with Festus are a mix of easygoing and beagle determination—expect him to loudly voice his thoughts when squirrels are near and keep an eye out, as he’s known to dig in the yard. Festus does not do well with shared-wall living due to his strong, unmistakable beagle voice, especially when left alone. He would appreciate a home where folks are around more often, and is house trained and comfortable with structure. Festus is neutered, vaccinated, and ready for someone who appreciates the sweet and salty sides of a classic beagle. Give him the attention he craves, and you’ll have a loyal, quirky companion by your side. Your new best friend is just one click away.
