Hi, I'm Pretty Penny, and yes — I really am as cute as my name sounds! I'm a sweet, curious, and shy girl who is still learning that the world is a safe place. I may take a little time to come out of my shell, but every day I'm getting braver, warmer, and more comfortable. Once I trust you, I'll quietly follow you around the house and find cozy little spots where I feel confident and safe. I've met multiple dogs and have done well with them. I'm usually polite and like to keep my space, so I'd likely do best with dog friends who respect my gentle nature. I haven't been introduced to children or cats yet, so I'm not sure how I feel about them. I'm crate trained and sleep through the night in my crate. My crate is my safe space, and I'll often go in there on my own when I want to relax. I do need to be crated when left alone, but I'm a low-energy girl and would likely be okay hanging out in my kennel during the day as long as I have a routine and feel secure. I'm getting better on leash every day! Sometimes I can still get scared and may pull a little, but overall I'm easy to control and enjoy short walks. I also love exploring the backyard on a long lead. I don't need a ton of exercise — a short walk or two a day, some sniffing time, and a cozy place to lounge would make me very happy. I'm a quiet girl, which is pretty rare for a beagle! So far, I haven't had much to say. I'm more of a lounge pup with big adorable ears, a soft heart, and a gentle spirit. I love Milk Bones, chicken chews, and crinkly stuffies. I do have Lyme disease, but it doesn't seem to bother me. My rescue is monitoring it and treating it as advised. My ideal home would be with someone patient, loving, and kind — someone who will give me a safe space, a steady routine, and gentle encouragement as I continue learning about new things. I don't need much; just comfort, love, and someone who believes in me while I keep blossoming. If you're looking for a sweet little shadow who is slowly but surely opening her heart, I might be your Pretty Penny.
