My family has been fostering a small dog that we think is mostly pharaoh hound. She is great indoors and out and with people but has shown food aggression towards our older beagle. She attacked her tonight and I’m at the vet with the beagle now. This dog is around 1.5 years old, female, not spayed, heartworm negative and has been started on flea and tick medication. She has no chip. She is about 35 pounds and seems eager to please her people. She hasn’t tried to jump our fence and other than the food aggression, she has been a joy to have. She loves walks and fetch and would make someone a great dog if she was the only dog in house. I will travel to meet the right person and give the remaining medication to them as well as some assistance towards getting her spayed. Walker County shelter is full and we have left a message with Trooper’s Treasures but haven’t heard back. I really want this little girl to have a good life. It just needs to be in a home where she is the center of attention. I’m in Flintstone, up near Chattanooga, but will drive to meet a good prospective owner.

Our beagle is 12 and we’ve had the foster for about a week.
Okay, it's sounds like it was a correction, not a fight. The injury was minimal and could have been much worse if the rescue wanted it to be. They are probably just working out the pecking order and if the beagle got the point they probably won't have any more serious issues. Probably.

I know you're not keeping the dog, but this is important to keep in mind when trying to find her a new home. She can probably get along with other dogs in the home once they get the hierarchy worked out. Of course that process can be interesting and needs to be supervised closely, but I say that whenever any new dog is being introduced to other dogs.
