 | Rescue Me ID: 14-02-04-00084Fannie (female)
The vet tells us that Fannie is 3 years old, but she certainly acts a lot younger than that! Perhaps she's just never had a chance to be a sweet puppy. She loves to give kisses and is very playful, but also enjoys a good snuggle on the sofa. She gets along well with her foster sisters Lucy and Stella, though sometimes she's a bit too rambunctious for our old girl, Stella. Fannie is learning how to walk on a lead and has pretty much got the potty outside thing down cold. Due to her playfulness, she stays in the crate when left alone for long periods of time to ensure she chews only on her toys. She is sometimes submissive around her foster ... (Read More)parents, and doesn't like it when voices are raised, but she is slowly becoming more at ease. Fannie is a very sweet, very pretty little girl!

 | Rescue Me ID: 14-01-16-00141Mavis (female)
Mavis is a beautiful little beagle girl who was picked up in the middle of a Kentucky lake by a fisherman who surmised that she must have been thrown off a nearby bridge. You'd think there would be a more humane way of getting rid of an unwanted dog, wouldn't you? At any rate, we posted Mavis on Facebook and an adopter stepped forward right away, but after only two weeks in her new home, it was decided that Mavis' energy level was just too much for their 17 year old blind and deaf dachshund. She did nothing wrong. She's just too young and energetic to be a companion to a very senior dog. So, we are right back to square one. Mavis needs a ... (Read More)home NOW, be it a foster home or adoptive one. She is a very sweet, loving girl. She's also still a puppy. You can expect puppy behavior. She may chew inappropriate things. She may dig holes in your yard or unstuff your sofa. She'll learn house manners through patient, steadfast, loving encouragement. Can you help Mavis find the life she deserves?

 | Rescue Me ID: 14-01-16-00134Barnabas (male)
Barney is a Black and Tan Coonhound that came to us around Christmas time and was an immediate crowd favorite. He has a great disposition. He loves to play and socialize with other dogs and has shown no aggression toward any dog or person. He has interacted with both large and small dogs and has done phenomenally well with both (very gentle with the smaller ones). He loves to be loved and babied by his two-legged friends. He loves attention and likes to nuzzle his nose in your lap to soak up your pets and scratches. He has a super soft coat and sheds very little. We have yet to see him interact with cats or children, but believe he would do ... (Read More)well with kids. If he is anything like other coonhounds, cats may fall under the 'prey' rather than 'friend' category, but he could surprise us. Although it doesn't appear he had much interaction with toys, he has grown to love chasing and playing fetch with a ball. He was initially mildly protective of the ball. He gives a bark if another dog has it and he wants it, but has never snapped or bitten. After a short while, he has come to learn how to share with others. He has a good appetite and has not shown any food aggression, even when eating at his foster home around other hounds. Barney has good energy and would fit in well an energetic young household that has a yard with a fence or one that would provide him with regular walks, trips to the dog park, or day care. He is house broken and lets you know when he needs to go outside. He sleeps well through the night in a dog bed in the master bedroom at home. While at the kennel, he did great with a bed and a blanket. He has not had formal training, but knows how to sit and would likely be a fairly quick learner. Barney is truly a great dog and will make a great companion for someone, or a lucky family! (Less) Beagle Rescue of Southern Maryland, Inc. Charles County La Plata, MD MAP IT!

Suzie was rescued from a Virginia shelter. She has known her share of neglect in her life and has the hernias, growths, and bad teeth to prove it. She is anxious for affection from those who would be kind to her. Suzie needs some MAJOR veterinary care. She has two hernias, 4-5 mammary growths, a growth on her paw, and is in sore need of dental work. We are expecting her surgeries to cost in the neighborhood of $2000 and would be grateful for donations to cover the work. Please find a DONATE button on our homepage and donate any amount you can spare. We'll keep you posted on her progress (and get better photos). Suzie is not ready for ... (Read More)adoption yet. She needs time to recuperate. Stay tuned! (Less) Beagle Rescue of Southern Maryland, Inc. Charles County La Plata, MD MAP IT!

 | Rescue Me ID: 14-01-16-00121Jasper (male)
This very handsome boy with the beautiful markings is also quite sick. Jasper is infected with heartworm. Surrendered to the shelter by his family citing financial difficulties, Jasper will indeed take quite a bit of money to put back into good health. (Gosh, it would have been so much cheaper to give him heartworm preventative from the get-go). Jasper has just arrived in rescue, so we don't know him well, but he is very calm for one so young. It might be the heartworm talking - or it may just be his nature, but so far he has been a pleasure to have in the house. He likes people, and is a bit submissive with them. He does nothing to incite ... (Read More)the ire of the resident hounds. He eats with finesse (note that that bowl in the photo has not been picked clean, yet his nose isn't in it). He rides in the car like a dream, and behaved himself so well at his temporary rest stop, that the resident human went out and left him uncrated with unfettered access to the entire house. She came back to find nothing amiss. He had merely switched beds in her absence. Jasper likes toys, and we once saw him walk across the room, pick up a toy, take it back to his bed, curl up with it and fall soundly asleep. We know he sounds too good to be true - and he is. Jasper must be heartworm negative before going to his permanent digs, so you'll have to wait until March to take him home. He'll be worth the wait. (Less) Beagle Rescue of Southern Maryland, Inc.

Clearly, Truman has missed more than a few meals in his life. He must have been on his own for quite awhile. Now that he has been pulled from the kill shelter (whew!), he'd really like a nice place to chill until his forever home comes along. He won't mind if you don't have the latest technical gadgets, your carpet is worn, or your TV is only 19 inches. He just wants LOVE! Well, and food. And a clean, warm, and soft bed. But really, that's not asking for the moon! Can you help Truman? If you can foster him, or better yet, ADOPT him, please contact us. He's waiting! Beagle Rescue of Southern Maryland, Inc.

We don't know what landed Hannah in the shelter, but we know that she's a very nice girl who needs a safe place to land. We tried to get some nice photos of her, but she did NOT like the sun in her eyes - and there was no place else to go! Hannah needs to get out of the crate at the vet's office. She should be asleep by the fire on a cushy dog bed. Can you help her? This little red and white girl is all vetted and ready to GO! Beagle Rescue of Southern Maryland, Inc.

 | Rescue Me ID: 14-01-16-00110Freckles (male)
Meet Freckles P George II, a fellow of indeterminate age. His former family said he is 3 years old; the shelter said he is 7. Either way, he is a sweet, happy guy who was dumped by his owner, who then stole his family's rent money and truck and drove out of Freckle's life forever. Freckles has a growth blocking the entrance of his left ear. It is currently being treated with antibiotics, but the vet is recommending removal. All that aside, this is a friendly, happy, beagle boy. He sure didn't deserve his first owner. We're sure he can do better.. Beagle Rescue of Southern Maryland, Inc.

 | Rescue Me ID: 14-01-03-00413Gabriel (male)
Gabriel was the first-born of Angel Charles, making his appearance well after dinner on Thanksgiving night. He has the most white markings of his siblings. Beagle puppies are born black and white. We expect him to be tri-color like his mom. Gabriel will be staying with his mom until 8 weeks of age and will not be adopted out until he has been neutered. It's hard to look past the cute face, but rest assured that adopting a puppy is not for the faint of heart. Before Gabriel reaches his first birthday he will eat your sofa, pee on your Persian rug (multiple times), and turn your yard into a lunar landscape. It's hard not to be sucked in by ... (Read More)the cute factor, but please give careful consideration to whether you are up to the challenge a puppy will impose on your home for the next several months. They require as much diligence as a human baby to keep them (and your belongings) out of harm's way. Puppies require loving patience (never physical discipline) as they learn what is acceptable behavior and what is not. Gabriel will not always be young, healthy, and cute. He will one day be gray around his eyes, may limp with arthritis, and need long-term medications. He needs a family that will be committed to him for his ENTIRE life, which will likely be 14-15 years or more. If you are interested in adopting Gabriel, you may submit an application now, but we WILL NOT allow him to go to his new home until he is weaned and neutered in February. Preference will be given to those with puppy experience, and we discourage the placement of puppies in apartments due to the noise and activity level of young dogs. Your neighbors will thank us.

Michael is the smallest of Angel's puppies, but it's all relative. He's only 1/10th of an ounce smaller. These pups were all very close in weight. Michael, like his siblings, will be staying with Mama until he is 8 weeks old, at which time he will be neutered before adoption. Like all puppies, Michael is just crazy cute but will in fact eat your sofa, pee on your Persian rug, and turn your yard into a lunar landscape.

Raphael is currently doing his job . . . tussling with his siblings for the best nursing spot, squeaking, grunting, sleeping, and eliminating all that he eats.

Chase was dumped in a shelter by his owner who cited financial issues. By chance, our volunteer arrived at the shelter to pick up another beagle who had been adopted earlier that day, so Chance came home with her instead. Chase is good with kids and other dogs and is ever so grateful for a scratch behind his ears. Seriously... he LOVES that. Beagle Rescue of Southern Maryland, Inc. Charles County La Plata, MD MAP IT!

 | Rescue Me ID: 13-10-16-00117Maximus (male)
Maximus is a beautiful, intelligent, healthy, sweet, and loving beagle boy. He is around 1-2 years of age, but is quite calm for this stage in his life. He does like to race out the door, telling all the prey that he is on the way, but inside he is as quiet as a church mouse. He has a very big and beautiful voice for his trip out the door and to the yard, but settles down quickly once he has reached his destination. He doesn't waste his time or energy barking at folks passing the house, and in fact will return to the deck when his siblings start to bark. He doesn't really see the need for all the commotion just because someone is in the next ... (Read More)yard or passing the house. He doesn't usually dig in the yard and rarely chews on inappropriate items. He has taken a liking to the chew toys lying around the house and will pick one up on occasion to entertain himself. He is crate trained and uses the dog door which he learned to use after one training session and by watching his siblings. He is good about going to the bathroom outside, except when it is out of his control. The change in diet when he arrived at our home caused some digestive problems for Max, but that issue is resolved now and he is doing well on the house training project. We have yet to begin any additional training, but hope to start on 'sit' soon. Max should make a great student since he is very food-oriented. Right now, he is very good about coming when called, but doesn't come every time. He definitely needs someone to take the time and expend some energy to help him learn how to be a good pet. I believe he may have been a hunting dog in his past life. He hails from Georgia, and has made a long trip to find a loving home. He is a medium sized dog at 37 pounds. He is not fat, and carries his weight well. Although he is not a lapdog, he dearly loves to be near to his human companions. We have not seen any aggression from Max for either canine or human beings. He loves attention and will go out of his way for some petting and, of course, treats. We think that Max will do well as an only dog living with a family that adores him. We have only seen Max with older children at an adoption event, but he was very gentle in his interactions with them. He currently lives with eight other dogs, so if you are looking for a second dog, don't cross Max off your list. He does interact and play with his siblings once in a while. I believe that Max is really looking for a home with or without a canine playmate that will love him unconditionally and will take very good care of him for the rest of his life. If you have such a home, please stop by and meet Maximus Washington. (Less) Beagle Rescue of Southern Maryland, Inc. Charles County La Plata, MD MAP IT!

By all accounts, Bert is a GREAT dog! He's young, playful, energetic, and loving. He gets on well with the other dogs in his foster home and fancies himself a lap dog, so he is a cuddly, affectionate guy as well. We think he'd like a kid or two who would play with him.

Haiku is a pretty, quiet girl who is curious about everything! She's calm, although a little jumpy with loud noises. She loves people, even (maybe especially) young ones, and adores a good snuggle. She'd love to give you some gentle kisses, but not in a pushy way - the tip of your nose will do nicely. The resident cat of her foster home is a tough old lady and has made Haiku a bit afraid of felines, which will work well for her in the long run, as she just gives them space now. Squirrels, now those are worth chasing! She's just about got this housebreaking thing down, and she's not food aggressive. In fact, it would be nice if her forever ...

It would be nice if Haiku and Sonnet could be adopted together, but Haiku would be OK as a single pet. (Less) Beagle Rescue of Southern Maryland, Inc. Charles County La Plata, MD MAP IT!

Foster Dad calls - tail wag! Looking out the window - tail wag! And it's no ordinary wag; his entire bum wiggles! He's trained to sit before meals, but the little guy can barely contain himself! Frankie's tail sweeps so fast it can't be seen; foster Mom doesn't even need to sweep the floor! Mr. Mellow has some smooth dance moves, too. That's right, when Frankie is standing and wiggling his bum, his feet sway side to side! And when he's covering his mess outside, ... (Read More)he moonwalks! Beneath his endearing traits, Frankie is pure loyalty and love. He paws at you once in a while as if to say 'Hi there!' He just loves to lay his head in your lap, but when he's ready to play he can go '0 to 60 in 5' and turn on a dime! This handsome beagle boy gets along with other dogs, is fully vetted, and is completely house trained. Frankie would love to meet you to exchange an ear scratch for a cuddle or two. You might even look behind you, and see him tail waggin' and side steppin' with you all the way home! Frankie takes great comfort in the presence of other dogs.

Kyle is a low-key beagle boy who seems happiest when he's getting belly rubs or cuddling on the couch with his people. He's not so keen on hanging out in the fenced yard, but is happy with short walks (5 to 10 minutes). By lying down in the middle of a walk, he makes it clear when the walk is over. Like some beagles, he does pull a great deal on the lead, but has been doing better since his fosters switched him to the gentle leader for walks. He seems very comfortable sleeping in a crate and ... (Read More)having this as his 'space.'

To help Kyle build some self-confidence and learn to be a better walker, he'd likely benefit from some basic obedience training. (Less) Beagle Rescue of Southern Maryland, Inc.

 | Rescue Me ID: 13-08-29-00127Penelope (female)
Penelope is a small, sweet, smart, and lovable beagle girl. She is confident and adventuresome in most situations, but does show some shyness if loud voices or noises startle her. She was a family pet in her previous life, but when her family moved, they left her and her Jack Russell sibling behind to fend for themselves. The neighbors took care of the little lost dogs for a while and then called animal control. BRSM found her in a southern VA shelter and brought her north to find a loving family that will include her as a valuable and permanent family member. That is how little Penelope ended up staying with us while looking for a home. ... (Read More)She doesn't seem particularly picky about the people with whom she associates. She likes people in general and she will roll on her back for a good belly rub. She knows that she is irresistible and deserves their attention, and expects to be given lots of love. She gets along well with other dogs, but will give a little warning growl if they try to share her food. She is not particularly fond of being left behind and will call out to make sure that people are still around. We know the reason for that insecurity, but I would by no means say that she has separation anxiety. She is a very well-adjusted young lady. She is crate trained, and will often go in her crate in the evening to rest while we watch TV. She responds well to her name and usually comes when called. She is doing well with house training, and is getting the idea that the great outdoors is the place to go potty. However, she does not like the rain or getting her feet wet and prefers not to go outside during a shower. She taught herself to use the dog door by watching the current canine residents go through it. She is very quiet and does not bark at little critters or people passing the house. Often the barking of her foster siblings seems to scare her and she heads for the porch. She isn't much of a digger either, so your yard would be safe with Penelope in residence. She does get bored sometimes and will chew on inappropriate items such as a dog pillow zipper or a throw rug. We are trying to substitute appropriate items such as chew toys when she gets the chewing urge. She is taking a passing interest in the toys now, but when she arrived at our home, her teeth were in such bad condition that she was having trouble chewing. She has had her teeth cleaned with several extractions and now picks up the chew toys once in a while to pass the time. She is very healthy and is not on any medication other than heart worm preventative. She has a slight heart murmur, but it doesn't affect her everyday life. She is basically a very calm and reserved girl that tries to please. If she thinks that she has caused you to be upset with her, she crouches to the floor and tries to make herself very small. This is a reflection of her past treatment. Penelope would love a home with patient and caring parents that will not abandon her and will promise to take good care of her for the rest of her life. She might like the company of another resident dog, but I think she would be fine as an only dog. She seems to like children when we go out in public and shows only a passing interest in our cat. I think a fenced yard would make her happy so she can meander and explore. Penelope has a lot of love to give to the person or people who love her. If you are looking for a little girl to share your life, please come by to meet Miss Penelope Halifax. (Less) Beagle Rescue of Southern Maryland, Inc. Charles County La Plata, MD MAP IT!

Maple is not quite ready for adoption. We know that she is good with other dogs and children. She's a little leggier than a beagle, but has that friendly, happy beagle disposition. She is fairly laid back, and told us that if she never sees the inside of a shelter again, it will be too soon. Shockingly (written with deep sarcasm), Maple is heartworm positive. Heartworm, left untreated, is a deadly disease. She will be ready for adoption once she is completely healthy. Stay tuned for updates! Beagle Rescue of Southern Maryland, Inc.

 | Rescue Me ID: 13-05-21-00097Sammie (male)
Sammy was led to his foster mom's home by a neighbor who thought he might belong there. There is always a beagle or two in residence, so it was a natural assumption. Sammy is one lucky boy! This down-on-his-luck fellow was led straight to a beagle lover and long-time BRSM foster! Divine interference? We like to think so! First things first, Sammy was given a good meal and clean water, after which he slept for a solid 24 hours. Whatever his ordeal, this poor guy was exhausted! When he finally woke up, he was discovered to be covered with ticks, emaciated, and suffering from torn pads on his feet. No mark on his neck indicated that he had ... (Read More)never worn a collar. A long bath in dish detergent (to make the ticks back out and not leave a head embedded) ensued, and through it all, Sammy was grateful to be held and have some loving attention. Sammy is a very loving, affectionate beagle and would most likely spend the day in your lap if you let him. He walks well on a leash, but doesn't like to turn around and go back. Therefore, his foster mom takes him on a circular route and Sammy always seems surprised when he ends up at where he started. His foster mom says he looks at her and seems to say, 'How'd you do that?' Sammy is gentle and has shown no aggression with other dogs or with his food. He's a 15' beagle and currently weighs 26 pounds, but needs to gain some weight. Housetraining is in progress, but Sammy is smart and we expect he'll have proper house manners before too long. Sammy has lots of energy, so don't let his age fool you. He has been completely vetted, but has heartworm. He will be ready for adoption when treatment is complete. Sammy is an absolute love and it will be a lucky family who takes him home. (Less) Beagle Rescue of Southern Maryland, Inc. Charles County La Plata, MD MAP IT!

Scarlett has not had the happiest of lives at the hands of humans. Worked and hunted until she was no longer useful, she was dumped in the shelter. We struggled long and hard to find a foster for her and now she waits for a family who will love her just because she is loveable. Scarlett is a bouncy little girl, curious and playful. Her age may deem her a 'senior,' but her outlook on life is definitely adolescent. Scarlett is a delight! Beagle Rescue of Southern Maryland, Inc. Charles County La Plata, MD MAP IT!

 | Rescue Me ID: 13-05-03-00062Ginger (female)
This cute little girl came to us from Maryland's Eastern Shore. She landed in a shelter after being hit by a car. The shelter recognized that her chances for adoption were slim, even though her personality was stellar. So, here she is...heartworm positive, Lyme positive...AND because that's not enough, the impact of being struck by a car dislocated/separated her shoulder. After she has recovered from the orthopedic surgery, recovered from heartworm and Lyme, and recovered from her spay, she'll be available for adoption. We will post an update at that time.

 | Rescue Me ID: 13-04-08-00060Edward (male)
Eddie is a very calm, sweet, patient, and playful beagle boy. He is a little shy in new situations and with new people, but absolutely loves to be the center of attention. He will stay close if you wish to pet him and tell him just how wonderful he is. However, he is fearful of loud noises and voices and will crouch down and try to make himself very small in response to either. He is a submissive fellow and never pushes to the front of the line, even if food is involved. He quietly waits in his crate for his food bowl and waits his turn when treats are handed out. He does not have an aggressive bone in his body towards people or other dogs. ... (Read More)He loves to run and play with his siblings in the back yard. His siblings are of various sizes, and Eddie is equally gentle to each of them during play. In fact, when playing with the smallest, he often rolls on his back so she can jump on him and bite his ears. He never gets mad or aggressive during play. He truly enjoys the company of all. The shelter said that Eddie was fine with cats as well. He is a happy boy with a special spring in his step. Eddie prances as he trots around the yard, checking out all of his favorite places. Eddie is crate-trained and often retires to a crate during the evening to sleep. He is learning his name and to come when called. The house-training is a work in progress, but he is getting the idea. We have not yet started other training, but Eddie, like most beagles, is very food oriented, so he should train rather easily. He is not much of a barker. When his siblings run to the fence to announce to the world that a bunny, squirrel, or human with or without a dog is passing the house, Eddie just watches or runs back to the porch. He does not dig in the yard or garden. He is a powerful chewer, and often seeks out a durable toy for his chewing pleasure. While tall enough to counter-surf, Eddie does not seem interested in that particular sport. Eddie needs some work with leash-walking. It can be challenging if he is being walked with another dog. They can work in tandem to wrap you up. He does not seem to have any issues when traveling in a car, and can accompany you on your vacations. He is a medium-energy dog who understands that days are for playing, evenings are for unwinding, and nights are for sleeping. He is a great companion for both humans and dogs. His perfect home will have a securely-fenced yard and another non-aggressive dog with whom to play. He would undoubtedly love to go on walks and just be with his human. He will return the love he receives ten-times over. If you are looking for a gentle soul to share your life, please come by and see Eddie. (Less) Beagle Rescue of Southern Maryland, Inc.

Tyler is a friendly, gentle giant. He enjoys the company of humans and other dogs, and is just a roll-with-the-punches kind of guy. Tyler must have been on his own for awhile. He came to us with an upper-respiratory infection and was terribly thin. His coat was dull and dry and he bore a few scars from a hard-lived life. He has already put on some weight, and as he gets used to clean, dry bedding and nutritious food, his coat will regain it's natural lustre.

Things were looking pretty bleak, but these two were so loving that the shelter workers worked extra hard to find a rescue that would take both. Fortunately, some kind and generous souls decided that they had room for two. By all accounts, both dogs are sweet and calm.

Bronx is on the quiet side, and quite affectionate. She's curious in that beagley way...sniff sniff here, sniff sniff there, here a sniff, there a sniff. You know how it goes. Of course, her sniffer works overtime because she doesn't get out of the crate much. There's not much left to sniff in there, so when she gets out in the yard for a potty break, she takes advantage of it. Right now Bronx is stuck at the vet while she awaits foster and/or adoption. Bronx has what is known as a 'cherry eye.' We are looking into having it repaired. Beagle Rescue of Southern Maryland, Inc. Charles County La Plata, MD MAP IT!

Not that many older dogs walk out of the shelter, but Scruff was charming and our volunteer fell in love with him. Scruff is heartworm positive and has begun treatment. He's tolerating it well. His foster mom says he's a real sweetheart - quiet, not vocal, and content to be in the same room as his human. There are other dogs in the home and Scruff gets along well with them. He's past the enthusiastic games of fetch with the kids, so would probably be best in a quieter home. This boy really knows how to rock a nap! Beagle Rescue of Southern Maryland, Inc.

Sweetpea is a lovely, good natured foxhound. She's outgoing, playful and very, very pretty. She's fine with children, but she's unproven with cats. We suspect she'd view one as a great toy to bat around. This beautiful girl needs a yard with a very tall (6+ feet) security fence. She is able to leap a four-foot fence in a single bound. Sweetpea is longing for a home where she'll receive all the love and affection that she so deserves.

Toby is a beautiful Lemon beagle with a great personality. He is calm and gentle with people and not aggressive with other dogs. He was probably a family pet in his previous life. He is crate trained, sits on command, usually comes when called, and walks well on a leash. He often waits patiently on the porch for an invitation to enter the house, and shows the same patience at mealtime for his food bowl to be placed on the floor so he can start to eat. He will bark at walkers with or without dogs as they pass the house, and talks back to the neighborhood dogs when they bark. He is not too interested in digging in the garden, but does enjoy ... (Read More)his time outside. He would love to have a fenced yard with one or more siblings to keep him company, but we don't feel he would be great in a dog park with strange dogs. Toby seems to be a little timid, and he reacts to strange dogs by barking. It is most likely a fear response since he doesn't bark at the other guys sharing his home. He does interact with the boys to some extent, but often tries to dominate them as opposed to simply playing with them. At times, he likes to be the center of attention being showered with rubs, hugs and kisses, and other times he retires to his crate for extended quiet time. During this period, he stays in his crate and doesn't come out even though the crate door is open and we call to him. Toby is a healthy guy, but does have a very mild heart murmur. It is not bad enough to visit a cardiologist, but makes pre-surgery blood work a must. He is very active and is not taking any medications. We think that Toby would be happy with a family where he was the only dog, but could just as easily share his home with other canines. He is easy going and appears to fit well in any situation. He is looking for a home where he can settle in, be loved and well cared for and give love to his guardians. He really just wants a permanent place to call his own with a parent or parents that know and love him for who he is. If you're looking for calm and loving boy, please come by to meet Toby.

He's curious ('Hey, what's that I smell on the table?'), absolutely loves other dogs, people, and cats (if they don't swat his nose). He hates to go out in the rain, but is learning that outside is THE place to go potty. He knows what treats and rawhides are for and sleeps in a small ball on a pillow in the bedroom. Overall he is a great little guy that deserves a comfortable loving home of his own either with or without canine siblings (although his foster mom does feel like at least one dog to chase might be perfect for him). Grady has a heart valve problem that causes him to have a heart murmur. He takes medication used in humans for hypertension. (Less) Beagle Rescue of Southern Maryland, Inc.

 | Rescue Me ID: 12-07-08-00244Maggie Estes (female)
Maggie is a BRSM alumni who is a victim of this leaden economy. Adopted from us in 2009, she has been the happy sister of Morgan for the last three years. Sadly, their mom can no longer afford to care for them. Maggie is playful, curious, submissive, walks well on a leash, and gets very excited about riding in the car. Maggie loves to please and really loves to play with other dogs. She is potty trained, crate trained, and obedience trained. Though Maggie loves chew toys like Kong balls and Milk-bone biscuit holders, she is not an excessive chewer of inappropriate items. She also does not bark or dig excessively. Maggie is cautious, and ... (Read More)needs time/patience to warm up, but once she is comfortable with a routine, she is quite sweet and friendly. Maggie enjoys being outside and being rewarded for executing commands (like 'sit' or 'come'). She also loves to play in the laundry. Maggie is a robust athlete, so her new family will need to have a secure fence and the commitment to use a good leash every time Maggie leaves the house. Maggie is sometimes apprehensive around small children, but will let them pet her if they are very gentle. (Less) Beagle Rescue of Southern Maryland, Inc. Charles County La Plata, MD MAP IT!

This beautiful little girl is an absolute sweetheart. Lively, but gentle and curious, she is happy to be out of that terrifying shelter and into the relative calm of a foster home.
