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!
