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!

Dangers of Thin Ice

Dangers of Thin Ice for Your Beagle -- Please use extra care when walking around rivers, pounds, and lakes as they may prove to be deadly. It's easy to fall through thin ice and it can prove to be deadly. Be smart and stay clear of these areas till Spring!

Click here to read safety advice around thin ice from MN Department of Natural Resources. And here's a video from them, click here to view the video. Here's another video that shows dogs stepping on thin ice, click here to view this video.

 Remember NO Ice is Never 100% Safe! My advice - simply avoid lakes, ponds, and rivers when ice is around. This way your dog won't be tempted to walk on the ice and possibly fall in. Once in the freezing-cold water, the chances of him/her being saved are slim!!!!!

 This is a serious situation all dog owners should pay attention to . . . keep your dog safe! Always think dog safety around thin ice. It can happen to you and your dog. I cry every time I watch a news video story about a dog falling through thin ice!
