Hi there! We’re Frankie and Howie! We are a bonded pair of boys looking for our forever home.
Frankie: I’m a 3-year-old beagle boy. I am an adorable, happy-go-lucky guy who loves everyone and loves to get attention. I have lots of energy, and I love going for long, fast walks. The family who adopts me and Howie needs to be able to spend a lot of time with me and help me expend my energy and just give me lots of love.
I thrive on routine, and since I have quite a bit of anxiety, having a set routine and some medication to help me are really important. Since my foster family has started working with me, I have started to improve a bit, but it will be important for my forever family to be patient and help me in the same way so I can continue to make progress.
I love retrieving sticks and then walking around with them. I seem to have had some training in my past, and I will sit, give my paw and come (sometimes) on command.
Howie: I’m an 8-year-old basset/beagle mix. I can be a little suspicious of people when I first meet them, but the more I can warm up to people, the more affectionate I get.
I am on the heavy side and will need to continue on a healthy weight loss program started by my foster family.
I know some basic commands, and I enjoy working on obedience with my foster brother. I love to sniff, and if I catch a scent, I wag my tail and bark at the ground while tracking.
The best family for me and my pal Frankie will not have young children. Older children would be okay, though. Also our forever family should not have cats.
Do you think you could be the family who could love us both together and patiently help us with our anxiety and weight issues? If you commit to us, we will commit to loving you unconditionally. Submit an adoption application and mention us — Frankie and Howie. If you’ve already applied to become an adopter and think we might be the match for you, please email Wendy at adoptions@newenglandbassethoundrescue.org.
