🚗🐶 A Life-Saving Journey – Thank You All! 🐶🚗

A HUGE thank you to everyone who donated to help sweet Izzy — and to those who helped her and four other lucky pups get safely to their new lives in the Pacific Northwest! 💛

If you haven’t heard Izzy’s story: she was dangerously ill with pneumonia and needed intensive care, oxygen, and medications to survive. Thanks to your incredible generosity, Izzy got the treatment she needed. 💕 Once she recovered, it was time to get her to our rescue — and that’s when the second miracle happened.

✈️ Due to Izzy’s health, flying was not an option, so our incredible transport coordinator, Michelle Alexander, stepped in and crafted a plan. Izzy couldn’t leave without her best buddy Buster — they’re a bonded pair — so of course he came too!

Then we learned about another bonded pair, Bonnie and Ginger, in Kentucky with nowhere to go. One is a puggle, so flying wasn’t an option for them either. And because we believe in making the most of every mile, we added one more beagle — little Ziggy — who is headed to a foster-to-adopt home!

Here’s what the journey looked like:

📍 July 3: Bonnie and Ginger started their journey in Lancaster, KY with five amazing volunteer drivers each driving a section of the route.
🏠 That night, they arrived at the home of the generous Jenny Edwards, who not only hosted them but also bathed all five dogs, fitted them with secure gear, and packed their travel supplies.
🚗 July 4: One rockstar driver picked up all five dogs and made the long drive to Denver.
✈️ July 5: Two of our incredible volunteers, Kate (from Seattle) and Ruth (from Portland), flew to Denver and drove the pups west.
🏡 Ziggy will meet her foster-to-adopt family in Puyallup, Izzy and Buster will go to their foster home in Olympia, and Bonnie and Ginger will settle in with their Portland-area foster.

To every person who donated, drove, packed supplies, hosted, fostered, or supported from afar — you made this possible. Thank you for being the heart of rescue. ❤️

✨ Izzy & Buster and Bonnie & Ginger will be available for adoption as bonded pairs soon.
🐾 Ziggy is heading toward her forever!

Bunny, came from a breeder in the Midwest and has been luckily rescued and is looking for her retirement home to lay around, relax, get lots of love and just be a family member. She has some fear of hands coming at her so does her pancake stance as many puppy mill dogs will do. Sadly this probably comes from her time as a breeding female in a large facility. Once she overcomes that initial fear she shows she does love pets and scratches.

She loves those soft plush toys but unsure about the squeaky noise they make. All toys seem to end up in the yard when Bunny is around. 😁 As a typical beagle, she can be vocal when she gets the scent of a squirrel who may have been in the yard. Speaking of yards, Bunny needs a home with a fenced yard as she loves being outside and prefers it when she can wander around as she likes. She is crate trained and potty trained. At night she likes to sleep on a comfy couch, favorite dog bed or sometimes curled up by a human in bed. She is a beagle so she loves meal time and snacks are a great way to help her open up to people.

She’s still timid and fearful but will participate in activities when she feels comfortable with her human -eating, playing and cuddles. She is so sweet! She would prefer a female only, adult home as she can be scared of men.

Bunny currently is living with 3 male beagles. She loves sleeping by them and playing chase in the house or yard. Since she is still timid, she must have another dog of similar size in her new home. She needs that companionship.

She was spayed 12/30/24 and had a cherry eye fixed. Bunny has an occasional seizure but is well controlled on meds. Her foster mom can share more information. Bunny is microchipped, and up to date on her vaccines. Can Bunny become part of your family? She has had a hard life so far at only 5 and deserves the best!

This special boy needed a fresh start and a new outlook on life, so we named him Koa. A Hawaiian name for one who confronts fear and adversities with courage and strength, and an unyielding resolve to overcome hardships.

Koa is an active, healthy 9-year-old Beagle mix. He weighed 39 pounds on his initial vet visit; however, he has been on a trim down plan in his foster home for a few weeks now. He has been neutered and has had a dental cleaning. He even trims his own nails and keeps them nice and short. He is housebroken.

Before coming into the rescue, Koa lived with an older, disabled gentleman since he was a puppy. Venturing out into the world and experiencing new people and new situations has been difficult and frightening for him. He needs to take things slow and build trust.

Koa is a sensitive soul and needs a gentle approach. Encouragement, praise and lots of love is the way to his heart. When you have earned his trust, he is loving and affectionate and will bring much joy into your life.

Now that Koa has settled into his foster home, his true self shines through. He LOVES stuffed squeaky toys and balls, and it is so wonderful to see him being playful. However, he is an aggressive chewer and must be supervised as he loves to shred it and eat some of the bits. Even the toughest dog toys don’t stand a chance. He also enjoys elk antlers and hard nylabones, which last a lot longer, so having several of those around are a great and safer option.

Koa is more of a country dog (vs. a city dog). Cars and people and lots of noise… that’s all too scary for him. A quieter neighborhood away from the hustle and bustle suits him best. He enjoys quiet walks where he can take in all the smells and relax. If you’re feeling high energy, he can bust out a 3-mile hike easy-peasy. If you’re feeling low energy, he’s content with a shorter stroll. He does great on leash… no pulling or shenanigans.

He is also an expert couch potato and enjoys lounging when it’s time to settle. He just loves doing whatever his people are doing. He will express his disapproval (by whining or barking) if you leave the room or the house, but it is short-lived, and he settles himself quickly. He has done just fine being left alone in the house (no crate)… no accidents, no destruction. Upon returning, he is found to be lounging in his dog bed.

After a lifetime of conditioning, (so far) he has only been willing to potty while on leash, which may be an important note for those hoping to just let him out into their secure dog area to do his business. Nope. Not happening. Gotta leash up. This may or may not change. Currently, he has a quick outing in the early morning and at bedtime and then a long walk mid-morning.

He has some food sensitivities to things like gluten and grains, which are super easy to avoid with all the higher-quality options available nowadays. The foster family will provide specific details.

Koa will do best in an adult only home. He hasn’t lived with other animals for many years, and it would be ideal for him to continue to be the one and only. He needs a low-key lifestyle without many visitors or comings and goings. A quiet setting where he can be walked without being at close quarters to other people makes the walk enjoyable for all. Patient, loving and experienced dog people who are willing to give him space and time to come out of his shell and build trust is important. Confident handling skills and the ability to manage him appropriately when he meets new people is a must.

Koa deserves to live his best life with a forever family. He wants nothing more than to feel safe and to be loved and cherished. Ok, well…maybe he wants some tasty food and walkies too. Has this sweet boy captured your heart? Apply to adopt Koa today!

He is currently being fostered near Portland, Oregon.

Hi, my name is Oreo. However, I don’t have very good recall yet, but I am getting better. I kind of know my name but I am still learning. I may be small (about 11 lbs), but my heart is bursting with love! At just 4 months old, I’m ready to find my forever home and start a lifetime of tail wags, cuddles, and joyful adventures.

I’m very playful, curious, and full of puppy energy! Every day is a new adventure for me—I love exploring, sniffing smells, chasing my favorite toys, sunbathing, and chewing on my favorite chew toys. I’m eager to learn, and I hear that treats make learning even more fun. I (I won’t say no to extra snacks!). I am very highly food motivated and think that a few pieces of kibble are a perfectly acceptable treat for good behavior. I am a very fast learner, and my foster almost has me bell trained for the potty. I understand the concept and am getting better at it every day.

I also am a very good sleeper. My foster has a big octagonal dog pen, and I sleep quietly alone all night long with no accidents in about 2 weeks. I love all people and every dog I have met so far. All I want to do is play and wrestle.

I’m working on my puppy manners and can’t wait to impress you with my growing skills.
What I love most, though, is being around people who make me feel safe and loved. There’s nothing better than curling up next to a kind human, feeling warm and happy as I drift off into puppy dreams. Belly rubs? Yes, please. Ear scratches? My favorite. Playtime? Always!

I may be young, but I know exactly what I’m looking for—a family that will cherish me, teach me, and help me grow into the best dog I can be. In return, I’ll be the most loyal, loving companion you could ever ask for. I’ll be your best friend, your cuddle buddy, and the one to greet you with endless excitement every time you walk through the door. You will also love my trademark look with either 1 or both ears flipped back as I play and explore.

I would do well in a family home, with or without kids. I can be a single dog, but I have spent most of my life with my littermate Snickers and I do better with another dog around that has the same energy and zest for life that I do. I am still learning so it would help for me to have another dog to show me the ropes.

If you’re searching for a sweet, snuggly, and enthusiastic new best friend, I think we’d be perfect together! Come meet me—I’ll bring my wagging tail, you bring the treats, and we’ll start the adventure together.

🚨 URGENT: Help our Foster Sweet Izzy Fight Pneumonia! 🐾❤️

One of dogs in foster beloved 9-year-old beagle girl Izzy needs your help.

On Sunday, June 8th, Izzy was rushed to the ER after breathing oddly, drooling excessively, and soiling her bed. Her temperature spiked to 104°F, and she was immediately placed on oxygen. X-rays confirmed aspiration pneumonia — a life-threatening condition.

She was admitted for 1–3 days of care: fluids, oxygen therapy, labs, and medications. The initial vet bill was $1,308.

🔄 Updates:

Monday: Still labored breathing, no appetite. By afternoon, she was eating, but even walking made her winded.
Tuesday: Vitals slightly improved. Weaning off oxygen began, but she remained winded and coughing. Stayed another night.
Wednesday: Eating well and respiratory improvement — but coughing continued. New X-rays showed worsened pneumonia. She now needs several more days of intensive care and stronger antibiotics.

💸 Her vet bill is now $2,400 and rising.

💔 Izzy is fighting hard, and we’re fighting for her. She's a gentle, loving soul who just wants to get back to tail wags and treats.

🐶 We can't do this without your support. Our rescue is 100% donation-based — and right now, we’re asking for help from the beagle-loving community.

🎗️ How You Can Help:

✅ Donate any amount — every dollar truly helps
✅ Share this post to spread the word
✅ Donate directly to the clinic (message us for details)

🙏 Thank you for standing with Izzy during this critical time. Let’s get her back home where she belongs. 🐕💕

🐾 Help Needed – Beagle Rescue Volunteers Wanted! 🐾

We’re urgently looking for compassionate volunteers to support our beagle rescue efforts. There are several ways you can make a difference:

🚗 Transport Volunteers
We need drivers who can help get beagles to their foster homes in Oregon. Sometimes this means driving all the way to the Portland area; other times, it means just covering a leg of the journey and meeting another volunteer en route. Every mile helps a beagle get closer to safety and love.
👉 Interested? Fill out a volunteer application here and indicate transport interest.

https://beaglerescue.org/apply-to-volunteer/

🏠 Temporary Foster Support
• We need fosters who can join our airport welcome team to meet beagles at the airport and provide a safe place for them overnight before their next transport leg.
• Short-Term Fosters: Help a foster family by taking in a beagle for a weekend or up to two weeks while they’re away.
• Full-Time Fosters: We’re always in need of foster homes for dogs waiting to travel to Seattle and find their forever homes.

👉 Apply to become a foster here:

We’d love to connect and find a transport or foster role that fits your schedule — and helps a beagle in need. Thank you for being part of the rescue journey! 🐶❤️

🐾 Meet Lana – A Sweet Soul with So Much Love to Give! 🐾

Lana is a 10-year-old beagle who came to Seattle Beagle Rescue from Missouri — and she’s ready to find her forever home. ❤️

This gentle girl has been through a lot. Lana lived with a family and a young child, but when she accidentally scraped the child’s finger while taking food, her future became uncertain. Thankfully, a compassionate vet saw the truth: Lana had shown incredible tolerance with the child climbing on her, tugging her ears and tail. She deserved a second chance — and we’re so glad she got it.

When Lana arrived, she was in rough shape. Her teeth were severely neglected, and she had to have all but 7 pulled. But that hasn’t slowed her down one bit! She happily eats regular kibble for medium dogs, enjoys soft treats, and gets wet food for dinner.

From the moment she walked into her foster home, Lana acted like she’d always belonged. She gets along well with the resident beagles but would be just as content being the only pup soaking up all the love and attention. At 27.3 pounds, she’s a perfect little cuddlebug who loves nothing more than snuggling, getting her head rubbed, and sleeping next to her people.

A few things to know about Lana:
• 🐶 She loves to bark, so apartment living won’t be a good fit.
• 🐾 She’s working on her leash manners — she gets very excited and vocal when she sees other dogs.
• 🛏️ She’s a total sweetheart who wants to be close to you, especially at bedtime.

Lana has been through so much, but her heart is full of love. She’s ready to be someone’s devoted companion, snuggle buddy, and best friend.

If you’re looking for a loving, loyal dog with a gentle soul and a big beagle voice, Lana might just be your perfect match. 💕

If you have 5 minutes today please consider a vote for this amazing woman. One of our Seattle Beagle Rescue dogs escaped his foster home three days ago. This terrified, breeder release dog, crossed multiple lanes of traffic and entered a wooded area. The foster parents did everything right to recover Parker. They connected with DD Ponder, and early this morning Parker was trapped.
Without the guidance of DD Ponder, and use of drones and traps, I don’t think this story would have a happy ending.
Winning this vote would mean a new vehicle to help with recovery of lost and injured animals. I just did the voting process. It took only 5 minutes to read and vote. Today is the last day for voting.
Please consider voting and sharing for votes.
