Meet Mason, a 2 year old Beagle mix.  He is an absolute sweetheart once he gets to know you. Mason is very hesitant when meeting new people and will take time and patience for him to trust. He may need a couple meet and greets with potential adopters to feel comfortable. Mason cannot be kenneled as it causes great anxiety. He is free to roam the house when I’m gone and has never caused any harm. He loves kids although very small kids might be overwhelmed by him. He gets very exuberant when he gets excited and could accidentally knock a small child down. He is very food and treat motivated. He knows sit, shake with both paws, and lay down. We’re working on stay and off. Mason needs lots of leash training. He gets so excited by all the smells while walking and pulls quite a lot. He loves to run and I’m sure with some leash training he would be a great running partner, once he gets the zoomies get out of the way! Mason would do best with a fenced yard since his beagle nose tends to lead him to places he shouldn’t go.  He hasn’t met another dog he doesn’t like! He would love to have a furry playmate to run and wrestle with. Mason lives with a cat and the only time he bothers her is when she runs, then he thinks she wants to play, and he will chase but has never done anything to hurt her. The vet has said Mason has some teeth that could be problems in the future so he will need yearly dental checkups and can only have soft treats. Mason is very affectionate and loves to give kisses. He loves being outside playing but is just as content cuddling on the couch. He will be a very loyal family friend to anyone who has the patience to earn his trust.
