This is Howie!

We adopted him from the Wisconsin Humane Society last night. He's approximately 2 years old and is a Beagle Mix. Not sure what he is mixed with though.

He came from Kentucky, where he was at one of those kill shelters. He was transferred up here a few days ago. He was fixed on Thursday, has all his shots, and was ready for a home.

I saw his picture online and when we got to the Humane Society, I didn't see him and was bummed thinking he was already adopted. Turns out he was still "in the back", so they brought him out to us and he bonded with Adam right away (already a smart dog!). He knows sit, so everyone guessed he was someone's pet at one time. He was found as a stray in KY.

He's a bit shy of the cats (Otis likes to chase him), but they aren't scared of him at all. He didn't even go after a bird on the driveway when we went to get the mail and had no interest in the chinchilla or ferret cages.

And no Bob, you may not take him hunting with you.

Yeah, I was all setup to start fostering a Great Dane for a Midwest organization, but adopting a Dane (because we all know that would have happened) might have been pushing it with Adam. He is not a fan of big dogs. So this was a compromise, since we both had Beagles growing up and loved them.

We agreed last night that someday I will have a Dane and he will have a Mustang.

Only downside is his farts smell way worse then Adam's. ):

But Beagles are ment to hunt!!!!

good looking pup, looking forward to meeting him in person! Dogs love me. Like real dogs, not the thing that you just sat. I am still convinced it's a South American barking hamster.

He's a total lap dog and loves to be right on you or next to you (leaning on you) of course. Wish I knew his whole story. He has a big chunk cut/bitten out of one of his ears (it's all healed now, obviously).

All my animals have a story (all rescues, besides the cats), but they seem more lovable that way now that they have a forever home. (:

And Dan, I wish we could have a barn here. I would be all for rescuing horses/ponies to let them spend their last few years here, but we only have 3 acres and 5 is required to have horses. Plus Adam has bad allergies around horses. My dream is to open up some type of dog rescue and we can put up any type of building we want on the land here, so it would be heated and air conditioned and the yard fully fenced. Someday, someday.
