Josie likes daily walks and snoring on the couch. She loves attention but not hugs. And definitely no cats! Her mom can no longer care for her so she has packed her bags and has her leash handy. This is not a dog for children under 10. She will chase them around the yard with her tail wagging but will warn them away if they grab her for a hug. She does well with a female Rottweiler but she would be fine without another dog. She is 11 years old. Most beagles live to see 15+ years.
