A 12-year-old beagle with arthritis needs a forever home that’s easy-going, the Dakin Humane Society says.
“Meet Brian, an easy-going older Beagle who is looking for an easy-going home,” the humane society said. “He enjoys the comforts of indoors but really enjoys being outside exploring like Beagles do.”
The humane society thinks it’d be best to be in a home without children due to his age and arthritis.

“He just doesn’t have that kind of energy,” the website states.
He could do well with another dog but they’d have to be calm. Then they could lounge around in the sun together. It is unclear how he’d do with cats.
“Despite his age, he is still an on-the-go kind of guy,” Dakin said.
