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!

Before being federal agents they were rescued from area animal shelters by the Columbia County Humane Society. After going through intensive training at the National Detector Dog Training Center in Newnan, Gerogia, they now work for the U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

"Beagles are small, friendly and non-threatening. But they also are eager to please and have very sensitive noses that can differentiate 50 different scents."
