Luke is looking for his forever home after a concerned dog lover rescue him from a less than ideal situation. Below is Luke's history from his foster/rescuer:

Foster Update: Luke was given to us by a family who could no longer afford to feed him.  He was kept in a chicken wire pen in the yard and had never been inside a house.  In just the short time Luke has been with us he has come so far!  He's housebroken and crate trained.  He's good about telling you when he has to go outside and is wonderful with dogs, cats and childern!  He needs love and attention and has already shown himself to be a very affectionate puppy!  We named him Luke.  His first reaction to everyone is to get down low at our feet but he warms up very quickly and likes nothing more then to be held.  He is very submissive to other dogs, as soon as they approach him he gets down low in a submissive position.  One of our more dog friendly cats walked right up to him and sniffed his face and Luke only showed mild interest and did not try to chase.  So far he has shown no food aggression and rarely barks.  Luke is a wonderful puppy who deserves a good and loving home.

According to www.dogbreedinfo.com, the Beagle is one of the most popular scent hounds because of his energy, willingness, and merry, sweet disposition. The breed probably originated as a cross between the Harrier and other hounds in England. The Beagle has been used in packs, alone, and in pairs, for hunting hare, pheasant and quail. He has also served as an excellent narcotics detection dog and makes a fine family companion. The Beagle is a gentle, sweet, lively and curious dog that just loves everyone! A happy little tail-wagger! Sociable, brave and intelligent. Calm and loving. Excellent with children and generally good with other dogs, but should not be trusted with non-canine pets, unless they are socialized with cats and other household animals when they are young. Beagles have minds of their own. They are determined and watchful and require patient, firm training. This breed doesn't like being left alone. Consider buying two if you will be gone a lot. A Beagle has a loud baying cry that was a delight to hunting horsemen, but can be disturbing to family and neighbors. Beagles have a tendency to follow their own noses. They may take off on their own exploration if let off their leash in an unfenced area. Energetic and possessing great stamina, the Beagle needs plenty of exercise, but a yard of reasonable size will take care of most of its requirements. A brisk daily walk will cover the rest. Always use a lead when walking this breed or you will be running the risk of it disappearing in search of wild game. They have a life expectancy of about 12-15 years.
