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!

What a Guy!

This article is about Jeff Bennett. He has flown dogs, cats, rabbits, pythons and more to safety in his small plane. Residing in Key West, several years ago Jeff decided to do something about animal cruelty.

"Bennett really gets riled over stories of animal cruelty, neglect and abandonment — and, about three and a half years ago, he decided to do something about it. He started using his small plane to fly dogs, cats and a host of other critters in dire circumstances to safe places where they’d receive treatment and care. On Friday, Bennett is hitting a milestone by flying his 1,000th rescue animal to safety."

"Bennett is affiliated with Pilots N Paws, a South Carolina-based organization that whisks “death-row” dogs, cats and other animals to safety by connecting shelters and animal rescue organizations with pilots and plane owners. Since Pilots N Paws was founded in 2008, more than 2,700 pilots have spent their own time and money transporting thousands of animals all over the United States."

Thanks Jeff! And thanks Pilots N Paws!
