5. Willow

Puppy · Female · Beagle / Mixed · 5 mi from Apple Valley

Willow is 3 months as of l0/1/26. We've got to figure out her breeds - we've never seen a beagle with this coloring, but she sure ain't a dalmatian. Very playful and has made lotsa friends at B&B.
She bites and scratches - most young kids will not like this. I know I didn't when my folks got me puppies when I was a kid. They did not think to get a nice adult, so I got my first dog when I was 31 yrs....and then a few years later lots and lots more~

Bringing a dog home to your cat

Tell the rescue about your cat: their age and how they react to dogs. A dog who has lived calmly with one cat may still want to chase a cat that runs.

Introduce them slowly. Keep them apart for the first few days and swap bedding so they get used to each other's scent, then let them meet with the dog on a leash, rewarding calm behavior.

Make sure the cat can always get somewhere the dog can't reach, like a high shelf or a room behind a baby gate, and keep the litter box and cat food out of the dog's way.
