Current News & Happenings

If you've ever considered fostering a dog, now is the time to act on it. We have gotten pleas from kill shelters EVERY SINGLE DAY for the last month begging us to rescue perfectly healthy, adoptable, beautiful beagles. We have taken in as many as we can--and in several cases, taken in more than we can comfortably handle in our homes. Sadly, as many as we take in, the same number is euthanized. The unwanted dogs (of all breeds) just won't stop coming. Won't you please help? Please read the posting below for more information. Fostering can be hard--but is exceptionally rewarding.

Do you know that all the dogs in rescue with Beagle Rescue of Southern Maryland are being fostered in private homes? Our foster homes are full, full, full. These homes take in the young, the old, the happy-go-lucky, the very scared, those who have never lived in a home or received positive human attention. Some are getting nourishing food for the first time, no longer have mange or fleas or heartworm disease or parasites. Their foster homes are teaching them that all humans aren't bad, and life can be good in a forever home.

Do you also know that we get anywhere from 1-3 requests to help these unfortunate dogs a DAY? Now for the "pitch." The last few pleas we sent out for foster homes came up empty and we were not able to help. Because we have to be sure that our foster homes are up to the task, we have limited our plea for help to persons who have already fostered or adopted from us. Now I would like to extend the invitation to those who may have thought about fostering.

If you have ever considered fostering a dog, even just once, we are asking you to consider it now. You will have access to the resources of BRSM and someone will be there to help and encourage you.

If you can help, please contact Judy at judy@beaglemaryland.org. If you would like to read about the responsibility and what is expected of a foster, visit our website and look under "Fostering."

Thank you.
