"So You Think You Want a Beagle"
By Ross Cortino, Midwest BREW alum adopter

Welcome, dear friend, to Midwest BREW’s happy place,
Where Beagles find love, a warm embrace.

Beagles, little bundles of delight,
Medium in size, yet hearts so bright.
With short-haired coats, so easy to groom,
Their playful presence lights up a room.

In family circles, they reign supreme,
With kids and pets, they’re a dream team.
A Beagle’s bark is pure joy to hear,
With loyalty strong and love so dear.

They sniff out fun with noses keen,
On grassy lawns or streets unseen.
Their eyes, like amber, tell sweet tales,
Of backyard games and windy trails.

So, if you think you like a Beagle’s charm,
Know that here at Midwest BREW there’s a joyful calm.
We take great pride in the love we share,
Giving Beagles the best of care.

Join us, dear friend, in this loving quest,
For every Beagle deserves the very best.
With Midwest BREW, let’s make a promise true,
To give each Beagle a home, a family, and a view.

BAILEY is ready to be adopted! This long-legged 6-year-old boy beagle is a total love bug. He can't wait to greet his foster mom as soon as she comes home from work, and he likes to snuggle up to her when she's sitting on the couch. Bailey is medium energy, good on car rides, housetrained, and is an excellent watchdog -- no people or other dogs walk down the street without his permission! Bailey gets along great with other dogs. He doesn't have a lot of experience with kids, but he has liked the ones he has met. To learn more about Bailey or to submit an adoption application, please visit our website: https://bit.ly/3UXQakJ

The days are getting shorter and the nights are getting colder... will Duke Too have to endure another midwestern winter as an "outdoor" dog, or will someone welcome him into their heart and home as a foster?

This handsome male beagle weighs approximately 35 pounds and is about 18 months old. He is friendly and playful, a little on the shy side, and has no obvious medical concerns. He's been living his life outdoors and is looking for a foster who will teach him how to be a beloved family pet before he finds his forever home.

If you are an approved foster and would like to foster Duke Too, please email Linda. If you are interested in becoming a foster home and live in IL, IN, MI, OH, WI, or western PA, please complete an application by visiting our website: https://gotbeagles.org/fostering

PUMPKIN is searching for her forever family! In her foster home, she has quickly blossomed from a timid and shy little 8-year-old girl into a vivacious 26-pound beagle. Pumpkin is a medium energy dog who is still unsure what to do with toys, but she enjoys chew bones and, of course, she really enjoys treats. She rides well in the car and is cat-friendly. Pumpkin has not been crated while left home alone, as she has officially claimed a dog bed for her sleeping and sanctuary and is well behaved even when her foster parents are gone, including no accidents. She is leashed to go outside and then released into the fenced yard to do her business. She has visited some stores with her foster mom and has done well. Pumpkin is working on learning some commands, but they are still a work in progress. Can you say stubborn beagle? Pumpkin is a sweet girl and her only dream is to find a family of her own. If you think she is the girl of your dreams, please visit her website to learn more and submit an adoption application: https://bit.ly/3OjIN3n
