Hi, My name is Flash! I was found in a house alone and afraid. My owner was sick and ended up in the hospital and I was left for 4 days. I was then turned over to the SPCA where they evaluated me and found out that I didn't like my toys or food taken away from me. So they called Buffalo Pugs to help me out.

I am a very sweet and loving boy. I love attention and I LOVE my treats so I am going to need a diet. I am about 18 pounds over weight but losing it gradually with the help of my foster mom. I am very quiet and very well behaved and I hardly make a sound. Sometimes you would never know I am there. I am also housebroken and will bark and get excited when I need to go out. I am not too bad about my food you can hand feed me and I am good about getting treats I just would not like to be interrupted while I am eating. So far my foster mom has had no trouble at all about this. I am, however, better off as an only dog... I don't mind being around them but I don't like to share anything with another dog. If you are willing to provide Flash the perfect retirement home he deserves, please submit your application for him today. Flash is being fostered in Buffalo.

Update 05/12/09 It has been a few weeks and Flash is doing very good on his diet. He has lost 10 lbs so far and now weighs 55 lbs. His foster mom says he is the easiest foster she has ever had! He loves to be outside and will go charging at the door the minute he sees his leash! Flash loves to go on walks and he even loves to hang out in the barn. For a beagle, he is very quiet, does not howl or carry on about anything. However, once he is in for a rest he does not like to be disturbed and will let you know if you bother him, but he is very easy to handle just show him his leash and he is off to the door again! He only has about 8 to 10 more lbs to go and will be feeling like a pup again in no time!
