Susan Daffron talks to Ewa Rurarz-Huygens from Beagle Rescue of Southern Maryland about a six-year old beagle named Macbeth. Although Macbeth is a sweet dog, he has been largely overlooked, and has been in in rescue for quite a while. It's not because he's a "wild child;" in fact, he's really quite the opposite. At six years old, this mellow guy is well past the puppy phase, but since beagles usually live to be about 15 years old, Macbeth is in his prime. His foster "mom" says Macbeth is just about the easiest dog she's ever fostered, so even someone new to dog ownership can easily adjust to life with Macbeth.

Although Macbeth gets along with other dogs, cats, and pretty much everyone, he absolutely adores affection, so he would be fine being the only dog and the center of a human's attention. It's likely that Macbeth had a somewhat difficult life before he came into rescue. Given his condition, he may have been a hunting dog or just kept outside and ignored. But now, he has learned that life as a house dog is a great thing and enjoys the basics: happily snoozing on his bed and chowing down on treats or dinner. If you're looking for a dog that will easily adapt to your home, check out Macbeth. All he needs is a little love from you and he'll be happy!
