Meet Twig, a 4-year-old, 25-pound Beagle who is affectionate, playful, and happiest when he’s near his people—especially if there’s food involved.  His impressive tail wag and wigglebutt are guaranteed to make you smile.

He’s housebroken with a dog door, walks nicely on leash, and knows basic commands like sit, stay, and come (though he may consult his nose first). Twig is friendly with adults, strangers, and other dogs. He came from a home where he regularly played with canine companions, and while he’s been a bit more cautious in his foster home, gentle introductions will bring out his confident, playful side.

As a true Beagle, Twig comes with bonus features including selective hearing, expressive vocals, hole-digging, and an impressive ability to locate snacks—real or imaginary. He’ll do best with an adopter who appreciates classic Beagle antics, provides structure and consistency, and maybe invests in a good trash can lid.

In his foster home, regular exercise and interactive play help keep him happy and well-behaved. And keeping him close and gently redirecting him has worked well to manage his barking. While he hasn’t lived with children, his friendly, playful nature suggests he would likely do great with a loving, active family.

Twig is ready to dig into a forever home and fill it with love, laughs, and plenty of Beagle personality!
