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!

Hound hunting of bobcats and bears outlawed in California

Good news . . . California also outlawed hound-hunting of bobcats and bears after deciding it isn’t a fair fight.

"There is nothing sporting in shooting an exhausted bear clinging to a tree limb or a cornered bobcat," state Sen. Ted Lieu said when the bill he authored was passed.

Mackeral for Winter Skin Problems

I saw this posted on Face Book and wanted to share it here.

Goya Jack Mackerel in Brine

Winter weather wreaking havoc on your pup's skin & coat? Add a tablespoon of smashed up canned mackerel w/ it's brine (juice) per 1/2 cup of kibble, mix w/ warm water to make a gravy & serve. Very inexpensive, super heart healthy & the beagles LOVE it! Our guys have the softest fur. A $2 can lasts several meals! Canned Mackerel can be found with canned tuna.

The Blessing You Receive When Adopting a Rescue Beagle


Britt Needs a Foster Home

I'm re-posting the below from Face Book! Britt looks so much like Lucky when we first got her . . . and Lucky was a wonderful dog. Please help Britt! Contact Judy directly if you can. Thank you and God Bless!
There are those - you know the people we mean - who think that dogs should be chained outside, don't feel cold, fear, loneliness... Those are the people who have never looked upon shelter photos of an abandoned animal. 
Meet Britt. She came to the shelter as a stray. She's about 2 years old. She is very worried about her fate in the shelter. Can you tell? 
If you are willing to foster her, we can pull her and give her a new lease in life. She is just aching for kindness. Contact judy@beaglemaryland.org. 
And please SHARE her! The more people who see her, the more likely she is to walk out of the shelter.

Please Consider Adopting a Beagle or Fostering One!

Most rescue beagles were either lab subjects or abandoned by a heartless hunter when the dog was no further use to him. Sometimes the hunter even just drops them off in a field! (Like I said heartless!)

Please consider adopting or fostering a beagle . . . they make excellent family pets and usually play well with other pets (cats and dogs).

Here's a video about lab beagles now free!

These beagles have known nothing except the confines of metal cages. They have known no soft human touch, no warm bed, no companionship, no love. Finally, after years of being poked and prodded, these beagles are FREE!

Click here to watch the video.

Thank you . . . when you love and care for an animal, you receive many blessing for this act of kindness.

Please Microchip Your Beagle

I love beagles, we all do . . . as wonderful as they are, they really lack the ability to find their way home should they go off-lease. That's why beagle experts suggest that you do not take your beagle pet off leash. But things happen, they jump the fence, they dig under the fence, their collar breaks, the leash breaks, etc, etc . . . so be smart and have your veterinarian microchip your beagle (any dog or cat). It's easy and painless for the dog and it may just save his/her life. When you microchip your pet, you increase the odds of them being returned should they ever get lost.

Lost Beagle from Brookline, MA


Missing Dog (Beagle) Brookline, MA

Pkease help Dennis Lehane find his beagle.

"Our recent and beloved rescue dog, Tessa, jumped the fence in Brookline [Mass.] and has been roaming through the wilds of Coolidge Corner for the last 24 hours," he wrote Tuesday on Facebook. "It's possible she's staying in some good Samaritan's home right now or has tucked herself away on a porch. But if anyone sees her or knows of her whereabouts, please reach out to this page. ... She's smart, fast, and immeasurably sweet. She doesn't have a mean bone in her body. She's micro-chipped, but her tags were off when she was let out into the yard."

Rolling Dog Farm

God Bless Steve Smith and Alayne Marker!

Please support them as they rescue disabled animals and give them a good home! Talk about giving a disabled animal a second chance! 

Meet Louie, a blind beagle and part of their family. 

Here's more about their wonderful story (it's from their Web site).
  
We founded this nonprofit originally as the Rolling Dog Ranch Animal Sanctuary in December 2000, when we left our corporate jobs in Seattle and moved to a 160-acre ranch in the Blackfoot River Valley of western Montana. Our dream was to create a special place for animals with disabilities. These are the animals who are often the least likely to be adopted and among the most likely to be euthanized in traditional shelters.

From the outset, we had named the ranch the "Rolling Dog" because our dogs loved to roll around on their backs in the sagebrush- and grass-covered meadows there. 

After ten wonderful years in Montana, we moved our operations during the spring and summer of 2010 to an equally beautiful old farm in the White Mountains of northern New Hampshire. You can read about why we relocated on our blog here.  Once we got settled, we changed the name to Rolling Dog Farm – it seemed a much better fit for New England, and everyone here calls us a farm anyway!
 
Even though our location and name changed, one thing stayed the same:  The dogs — and the horses! — still love to roll around on their backs in the lush and green New Hampshire grass!

Our disabled residents are remarkable animals. They are happy, energetic and loving. Many of our visitors can't believe the animals they see romping with each other and running around are blind or cope with some other kind of handicap. There isn't a single animal here who feels sorry for himself or herself. Each and every one of them loves being alive.

That's really the ultimate inspiration for us. Despite their disabilities, they want nothing more than a chance to enjoy life. And that's what they get to do here.

The Passing of Lucky

I'm so very sorry to post that Lucky passed away in her sleep this morning. She was about 13-years old (as a rescue beagle, we never knew her exact age). So it's a sad day for me today. I will miss her companionship and love. I learned so much from her and will always be grateful to her.Lucky was an old soul with soulful eyes. She was such a blessing. Thank you Lucky for being my little dog, I love you and will miss you. I did my best to support you on your journey this time around. God Bless.
