Welcome to Rescue Beagle USA.

This blog is dedicated to Lucky, my sweet little girl who passed away in her sleep peacefully on 12-14-12. Lucky was a lemon beagle and came to us as a "rescue" when she was about 3-years old. While she was initially scared, the poor thing was all of 20-lbs (and for her size that was severely under weight) with lots of love and snacks she became the best friend a person could ever have - please give a rescue beagle a second change!

Hide the Cookie - a fun game to play with your dog

Lucky loves playing "Hide the Cookie."

We all know that beagles are food-motivated, so playing this game really keeps Lucky on her toes.

As the name implies, I "hide" small treats for Lucky to find. I contain the game to one room and a room that has few breakable items. Some of the treats that are hidden are hard to find and it requires Lucky to sniff and sniff and sniff . . .

 I try to play this sort of game with Lucky at least once a week . . . depending upon where the snacks are hidden, it might take Lucky 10 to 15 minutes to find and devour all the treats.

Do you have a favorite game you play with your beagle. if so, please share it . . .
