About Collette Fostered in Omaha

Meet Collette: the Couch-Diving Beagle Extraordinaire. Some dogs dream of chasing squirrels or conquering agility courses. Collette, however, has perfected the art of the full-body couch dive. This slightly plump 10-year-old beagle beauty is working on her fitness goals, but she believes improvements come with comfort — ideally from a soft surface. Her happy places are simple: her cozy kennel and the couch beside her favorite human. If you call her from her kennel, she'll come running full speed, only to launch herself onto the couch in a perfect belly flop of joy. It’s equally adorable and hilarious, and she's fully aware of it. Despite her grand entrances, Collette is a gentle, timid soul. She prefers a calm, quiet home, as loud noises and small children make her nervous. Once she trusts you, she’ll snuggle right up, blissfully accepting all the pets and belly rubs you can offer. Collette is crate-trained and loves her kennel, where she eats, naps, and even tucks herself in for the night without complaint. She feels uneasy being left loose in the house overnight. However, when meal times approach, her sassy beagle side comes out; if dinner is delayed, expect a few indignant barks. Collette has overcome health challenges with grace. After having mammary tumors removed, she now requires regular checkups to stay healthy and takes fluoxetine to help her manage life's little fears. Treats from the vet help immensely. This lovely lady thrives in a peaceful home with a patient, gentle companion who appreciates a quieter lifestyle. No long hikes or loud adventures are necessary; just a comfy couch, a kind heart, and maybe some healthy snacks as she keeps an eye on her figure. If you want a loyal companion who will warm your heart and race to claim the best spot on the sofa, Collette might just be the beagle of your dreams. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
