Rogue Mama, what a great name!  She was given to a friend when the owner moved, but the new owner has 5 cats and 3 kids so she can't handle taking care of one more thing.

 

Rogue Mama is a very sweet and loving Beagle.  She loves everything--kids,cats, people, etc.  She'd make a great addition to any family.

 

Foster update 10/10: Rogue went home with me last night so she could attend an adoption event the next day. She did excellent in my home. She interacted with the four cats in my home and 7 other dogs just fine. I can see she really loves her people and in true beagle style became a little vocal when "hunting" lizards out back or when alerting me when people came to the door. She is housebroken and roamed free in my home all day and night without an accident. I won't recommend her for an apt. due to her loud bay (hound like bark) but otherwise i think she would do wonderful in just about any type of home! A very well socailize, trained dog! She does pull on the leash and will need some training there but otherwise has prefect house manners. She also barks in the crate so i won't suggest crating her as she does so well roaming free in the home.

 

Foster update 10/15: Rogue is a wonderfully healthy dog but she does have a "cherry eye."

If you are not formular with this i have copied a bit of text below to explain it:

 

"dogs have a 'third eyelid' that contains a tear gland and is located in the corner of each eye. Under normal circumstances, this gland is not visible and aids in the production of tears. For some reason, which is not completely understood, the gland of the third eyelid prolapses or comes out of its normal position and swells creating the condition known as cherry eye. "

 

She has no problems seeing or has any medical problems related to this. She is not in need of surgery at this time.

 

According to www.dogbreedinfo.com, the Beagle is one of the most popular scent hounds because of his energy, willingness, and merry, sweet disposition. The breed probably originated as a cross between the Harrier and other hounds in England. The Beagle has been used in packs, alone, and in pairs, for hunting hare, pheasant and quail. He has also served as an excellent narcotics detection dog and makes a fine family companion. The Beagle is a gentle, sweet, lively and curious dog that just loves everyone! A happy little tail-wagger! Sociable, brave and intelligent. Calm and loving. Excellent with children and generally good with other dogs, but should not be trusted with non-canine pets, unless they are socialized with cats and other household animals when they are young. Beagles have minds of their own. They are determined and watchful and require patient, firm training. This breed doesn't like being left alone. Consider buying two if you will be gone a lot. A Beagle has a loud baying cry that was a delight to hunting horsemen, but can be disturbing to family and neighbors. Beagles have a tendency to follow their own noses. They may take off on their own exploration if let off their leash in an unfenced area. Energetic and possessing great stamina, the Beagle needs plenty of exercise, but a yard of reasonable size will take care of most of its requirements. A brisk daily walk will cover the rest. Always use a lead when walking this breed or you will be running the risk of it disappearing in search of wild game. They have a life expectancy of about 12-15 years.
