Dumped Beagle

(1/4) > >>

Eupher:
Through the "Next Door" app, I read about a beagle that had been dumped and was in the same spot waiting for its owner (who would never return, of course) for 4 days.

Several people stepped up and provided him food and water, including me and Mrs. E. The little guy was about a half mile from us, so it wasn't too far for us to go to see about him.

Frightened, scared, leery, and confused. He would not approach anyone, but we took our yellow lab Zoey with us and he was VERY interested in her. In about 30 minutes, he took a bit of hot dog out of Mrs. E's hand and he smelled up Zoey pretty well.

Went back the next morning and freshened his water and brought more food. Worked with him more to gain his trust and Mrs. E was actually able to pet his head.

She and Zoey went back a few hours after that, about noon yesterday, and lo and behold, she managed to get a loop leash around his neck and into the car. We brought him home and he fit right in with our pack of 3 dogs. He's pretty young, intact, and probably about 18 months old or so.

Will be taking him to the vet in about 2 hours for a routine checkup, especially for heartworm.

We will not keep him -- three dogs are enough for us, but we'll foster him until someone adopts him out or we can get him into a no-kill shelter.

People who dump animals deserve to be keelhauled, at least twice just to make sure.

Goddam people who do this.

God bless people like you for rescuing him.

Yep.  God bless you.  Love becomes paramount.
