Rosie is the big white beagle in this picture.  We believe she was a hunting dog who would not hunt, and was left abandoned out in the woods of Virginia.  She was about a year old then and ended up in a shelter.  Beagle Rescue, Education and Welfare (BREW) rescued her from euthanasia in the shelter.  I adopted her in July 2000.  Please click her pink name above to read more about Rosie and what it's like for some rescue beagles... Pippin is the cute puppy in this picture.  In March 2004 I applied to adopt one of a litter of puppies from Beagles of New England States (BONES) in Massachusetts. BONES rescued Pippin’s mom “Katie” from a shelter, and a few days later, Katie gave birth in a loving foster home to 8 puppies!   I brought Pippin home 2 months later.  Please click his blue name  above to read more about life with a beagle puppy. Sam was supposed to be my overnight short term foster beagle for SOS Beagle Rescue, Inc.  His story is long and complicated.  After 4 months of researching what was wrong with Sam, and getting a diagnosis, it was decided that Sam was "unadoptable."  Well, not to me.   I adopted Sam in June 2005.  To learn more about canine aggression and what we learned about Sam, please click his green name above. Elmer was one of 11 laboratory beagles for whom my new rescue, Cascade Beagle Rescue-East secured the release for adoption!!  After fostering 8 of these beagles, Elmer was the one with whom I was not able to part.  He needed a lot of training and social encouragement, and despite needing more, has made great strides.  Click his name to learn more about this gentle, loving  beagle.

 

 

All of my beagles are rescue beagles.

Sadly, some ignorant people call rescue beagles "second hand" beagles.  There is nothing wrong with rescue beagles.  They all have different stories, personalities, issues, and reasons for being in a rescue organization.  You can find beagles as normal and healthy as Pippin, or as fragile as Rosie.  Most rescues have a mixture of dogs - from those from owners needing to give up their dog, to those dogs seized by the authorities in abuse/neglect cases, stray dogs who end up in shelters, abandoned dogs at vet offices, laboratory research beagles, etc.  Respectable rescues know about their dogs and can help find the perfect match for your family.  Whatever you do, please NEVER buy a puppy from a pet store - NO MATTER WHAT THE PET STORE TRIES TO TELL YOU ABOUT THE QUALITY/SOURCE OF THEIR DOGS!!  I discovered beagle rescue after living with and researching about my pet store beagle, Bailey, who was purchased  in 1996 and died in 2004.  Please click on Bailey's purple name below to read his story and learn about pet store puppies.

In memory of Bailey, I co-founded the East Coast Chapter of Cascade Beagle Rescue in March 2006!!  I also continue to volunteer with BONES!
