About Vinnie
Vinnie is a handsome two-year-old male Beagle, he is a loving, affectionate boy who is full of energy and still has plenty of youthful enthusiasm.
His family describes him as a very soft-natured, beautiful boy who loves walks, games and cuddles.
Vinnie is not castrated. He was last vaccinated in June 2024 and was last wormed in October 2026. No known health issues have been reported.
Training & Behaviour
Vinnie is used to walking on a lead, but he can become very excited and pull, particularly when he sees other dogs and wants to play. He has not attended formal training classes, so continued positive, reward-based training would be beneficial.
He is housetrained, although he sometimes has accidents overnight. He is comfortable sleeping in his crate with the door left open and can be left for up to 4 Hours.
Vinnie has had limited experience travelling by car, but he has been fine on the journeys he has taken. He has never been let off lead, so his recall is untested.
He enjoys exploring the garden but has never escaped from it.
Vinnie can be destructive with toys and small items he can chew. He also likes stealing things and turning them into a game of chase. He will eventually drop stolen items, but he may destroy things if left to his own devices, so he will need suitable toys, enrichment and supervision.
People
Vinnie is described as a very gentle, soft-natured dog who has never shown aggression towards people.
Other Dogs
Vinnie has not shown aggression towards other dogs and has been absolutely fine around friends’ dogs. He becomes very excited when approaching dogs on lead and pulls because he wants to play.
He can sometimes try to hump people and other dogs, so he would benefit from training to help him manage his excitement and learn appropriate social behaviour.
Vinnie may be able to live with another dog, although his family has no direct experience of him sharing a home with one. A suitable match and careful introductions would be important.
Cats
Vinnie’s reaction to cats is unknown, as he has not been assessed around them. His suitability for a home with cats would need to be established.
Food & Possessions
Vinnie is very food-focused and can be obsessed with food, but he is not aggressive around it.
He is fed twice daily on a mixture of wet and dry food.
He enjoys carrying off items for a game of chase, and supervision will be important to keep unsuitable objects out of reach.
Sleeping
Vinnie sleeps in his crate in the kitchen, with the door left open.
What Vinnie Loves

- 🪢 Games of tug of war
- 🎾 Playing and having fun
- ❤️ Cuddles and affection
- 😴 A good, long sleep
- 🐶 Meeting other dogs and trying to make friends
Vinnie is a lively young Beagle who enjoys both activity and relaxing with the people he loves.
Vinnie’s Ideal Home
Vinnie needs an active, loving home where he will have more company, regular walks and plenty of opportunities to use his nose and burn off energy. He has so much to offer, but his current routine does not allow him to enjoy the life a young Beagle needs.
His new family should be prepared to work on lead manners, recall foundations, excitement around other dogs and appropriate behaviour around stolen items. He would benefit from enrichment activities, suitable chew toys and opportunities for play, alongside time to relax and enjoy cuddles.
A home with another friendly dog could be a possibility, provided introductions show they are compatible. His suitability with cats is unknown.
Vinnie is a loving, energetic young boy who deserves a fresh start with a family who can give him the time, exercise and companionship he is currently missing. ❤️
