Bo is from a southern shelter where he struggled to thrive. Despite the staff's best efforts to find him a home, he remained without a match, so they reached out for assistance. This sweet, friendly 9-year-old weighed 49 lbs. when he arrived and has already lost six pounds. While solidly built, he could lose a little more to reach his ideal weight. Bo is generally easygoing, but he loves to go on walks. He jumps and dances when the leash comes out! His excitement and stamina will make him a good walking companion, which makes weight management easier for someone willing to invest time and care.

Bo likes treats and his people a little too much so although he is able to live with another dog, he would prefer not to. But, he is friendly and polite when meeting them on walks. True to his beagle nature, Bo joyfully sings the song of his people when it's human mealtime and when dogs, people and cars pass his window. And, he exhibits hunting behavior towards critters, often alerting or howling when he detects them.

This cuddly boy would thrive in a home with people around often so he can soak up all the love. Bo does not like to be crated, but he is house-trained and well behaved in the home. A fenced yard would be a bonus but is not required. Bo is fostering in the Boston area and available for visits!
