Adopt a Beagle (short coat)

Midge, Midget, Midgey, Minnie, or Munchkin...what ever her foster mom calls her...Midge is a not your typical beagle!  She is one tiny beagle, weighing only 10 pounds.  She is older, believed to be about 8-12 years old.  Midge is also blind.  It appears she was born blind as her eyes do not seem fully developed.  Her small size and blindness is likely a genetic fault; however, she does not seem to have any other issues.  Do not let her blindness or age fool you though -- Midge is quite the entertainer once she learns her surroundings.  She has a super sweet personality with just a bit of attitude!  She is all beagle when it comes to food though.  Even though she can’t see, when she smells food, she stands on her hind legs to make herself as tall as possible to find the source of the yummy smell.  Midge needs a patient and understanding family that will help her through the adjustment of a new environment. She walks well with a harness, but if she is unfamiliar with an area she resists walking, but that's okay because she's very portable--just pick her up and go!! Stairs are a challenge for Midge, but with assistance and encouragement, she learned to go up and down the stairs in her foster home just like any dog with vision.  Midge is probably not the best choice for a super active family with young kids and people coming and going. But otherwise would do well in many family scenarios as long as her family helps her through the adjustment process and is mindful of her blindness and small size.  Midge would do well as an only pet or with a laid back dog her own size.  She gets frightened of dogs that are overly active and pushy, and becomes growly with them. A securely fenced yard is preferred.   Midge is crated trained, very good in her crate, and for a beagle -- very quiet.  She is potty trained and has not had any accidents in her foster home.  If you have always wanted a beagle, check out this little sweet-pea!  Midge is UTD on shots, spayed and Heartworm negative.
