If you are hoping to "rescue" a dog for all the right reasons, please look at our boy, Kirby.

No, Kirby was not kept in a cage-he was in an even worse situation. He was out in the world by himself with his puppy collar embedding into his neck as he grew. In addition, he was underfed and treated very poorly.

When the shelter reached out to Tampa Bay Beagle Rescue, the clock was ticking loudly for Kirby.
Thanks to the amazing work of our transport partners and generous donations to TBBR, Kirby came to us with 40 stitches circling his entire neck. He was also underweight and terrified of people.

It is truly amazing what a little time and love can do! It took just a few days for Kirby to begin trusting the pack. Every day, he grows more trusting of me, too. He has even started following me into my office just to hang out near me. He happily comes out of his crate on his own in the morning, and he even taught himself how to use the doggy door! Best of all, he is now completely house-trained.

If you want to make a real difference in the life of a Beagle who truly needs it, Kirby is your boy. He will do best in a relatively quiet home (no toddlers, please) with a family who has plenty of patience and love to give.
