Over the past few years, HBHR a steady increase in the number of beagles needing help. Adoptions have also not increased as fast as our intake of beagles. In addition, the number of foster homes has not increased to keep up with the demand. Also, many of the beagles coming in have had medical/behavioral problems that make quick adoption nearly impossible. You may ask why we have taken in dogs that end up being unadoptable or at least require long term intervention before adoption. Unfortunately, we can’t always evaluate the special needs of these dogs before admission due to the emergency situation they are in, or their behavioral problems don’t show up until later. We will be featuring one of these long-term fosters each month and asking for people to step up and sponsor the beagle for a year. Every dollar helps so if you can sponsor one of these dogs, please click on the Donate Now button. Be sure to leave instructions telling us which beagle your donation is supporting by clicking on the pen icon!
Almost three years ago, HBHR rescued over a dozen beagles from a backyard in SE Houston. Hope was one of the beagles that was rescued. This little cutie was under weight and needed a ton of TLC! Unlike many of the others, Hope was more social and enjoyed being around people. Hope follows her foster mom and dad around and has learned how good life as a spoiled princess like her can be! Hope turns 13 years old this summer and has been a permanent foster in a loving home with her own little pack! Hope is unadoptable because she requires a significant amount of medical attention. Hope has a severe heart murmur (from long-term untreated heartworms) and chronic cough. Her medications alone cost over $100 a month! Please consider becoming a sponsor for this special senior beagle who is now called Peanut!
If you are able to provide a foster home for one of these permanent foster beagles, please submit your foster application on this website. Or maybe you aren’t able to commit to a long-term foster dog, we need short-term foster homes too. If you can keep a beagle a week or two until we can find space in another foster home or maybe keep a foster beagle while a foster family is on vacation, please submit your foster application.
