[Audio, Slideshow] Puppies Sound Good: Meet Beasley

In our monthly "Puppies Sound Good" segment, we met Beasley today, a scruffy and very friendly puppy up for adoption at the Humane Society of Calloway County. Todd Hatton speaks with Executive Director Kathy Hodge about Beasley and upcoming events: paint your pet night and an animal academy day camp for kids. 

Hodge says Beasley is about five months old. He seems to be a schnauzer, wirey terrier mix. He has a soft coat and a schnauzer shaped face. She expects he'll be a medium-sized dog when fully grown. Beasley has a very expressive face and demeanor. Incredibly socialized, he has lived in two foster homes: one was full of dogs of various sizes and the other at a resort by the lake interacting with many people. His foster says he is 'very chill,' but if you're ready to go out and run he will be game for that too.
