Beagles Across State Lines

Original story: * * * 9/15/04 Five beagles were dumped at a ranch in East Texas. They were left with many other dogs of different breeds and mixes. Of the beagles there were three males and two females. All are spayed and neutered. These are such sweet and well behaved hounds. Housebroken too! Two older fellows will be going into our rescue program. Two more, a boy and a girl will be going out of state. The last one is a verrry old girl. "Miss Oggie" (pictured right) will soon be travelling to West Texas where she will live out her twilight years in comfort at Old Hound's Retirement Home

Beagle in Mourning

Woody - Dallas
Senior male beagle, thirteen years old. Neutered and fully vacinated. Woody is a special beagle with a sad story. You see this sweet old fellow was left behind, when his lifelong human companion - Officer Bill Stuckert of the Dallas Police Department, recently passed away. Faithful to the end, Woody was found mourning Bill's body when help arrived at the scene. The family was unable to take the beagle in and so Woody was taken to the Dallas shelter. Woody was then rescued from the Dallas Animal Shelter, and is currently being cared for by a dear friend. However this cannot last forever as she has other dogs to care for. Woody really needs a gentle heart and warm bed to live out his twighlight years until he meets his owner. Please consider fostering this sweet boy, as we understand he is no trouble at all. If you are unable to foster then we would apreciate donations to LSBR for Woody or any beagle's veterinary expenses.
UPDATE: Woody's current caretaker has decided to keep him with support of Lone Star Beagle Rescue. Woody will live out the he will live out the rest of his life in comfort with loved ones.

Adopted!
Beagle male, only 6 months old. Classic tricolor markings. Neutered, fully vacinated and heartworm negative. Real sweet, well behaved and housebroken. Buster is special because he is blind.
