Happy Tails Success Stories
My dog lives
here - sweet poem about sharing your home with your pet
|
I know, I know...there is no way we "need" another
beagle...BUT...he's an easy dog, probably due to evidence of
some bassett being in there. He doesn't want you to believe
the last SIX homes he's had that said he was a terror
chewing up all sprinkler systems and patio cushions in
sight! Six times a charm in this case! Baxter now gets
to go to bed every night just like this where he will be
loved forever! |

We just love Mookie (formerly known as Charlie Brown) and
he is fitting in to our family well. When my husband and I
go to work, he goes to a dog sitter’s home and plays with
ten other dogs. He is also in obedience training and can
sit, lie down, come and drop it on command. We are still
working on loose leash walking; he does great when there are
no distractions, but a minute another dog or people go by,
all bets are off! |
|
Beau (formally known as Rascal) is the best beagle in the
world! He's been a part of our family for a little over a
year now and we can't imagine life any other way. From the
beginning he has fit right in at home. He is the sweetest
boy. He loves his dog door and learned how to use it in
about 3 minutes. He loves treats and when we rub his belly.
If we are petting him and then stop, Beau paws at us as if
you say, "Hey, keep petting me!" He is quite affectionate.
He loves to go on walks and hikes. He's even been to the top
of Camelback Mountain! Thank you to BARC for helping us find
our best friend. |

Shilo is doing great! He is
such a good dog & we love having him. I think he is
very happy too! He
loves sleeping in his doggy bed we got him & it is right
next to our bed! He wakes up our daughter every morning to
get ready for school & is so funny when we get home from
work - that is the only time he howls of excitement or we
could leave for 15 minutes & he does the same thing! We just
could not be happier! |
|
We are so thrilled with Scout….we say on a daily basis
what a good boy he is! It has been almost 3 months since we
adopted him and we wanted to send you a few photos to
reassure you that Scout has truly found his forever home.
Scout’s personality is such a perfect match for us, and we
think he is very happy being the center of attention. |

We thought you would like to know that Fenix is doing
really well with us. She has found her place in the people
and puppy pack. Walks are a handful with 3 beagles
(and very loud), but so much fun. Fenix has not had any
accidents in the house; she is in and out of the doggie door
at her leisure. She is a real lap dog and so sweet, she
follows me around everywhere. We are really enjoying her. |
|
With the addition of Snoopy I now have three beagles and
one rescued New Zealand Blue Healer (Sophie). I met Snoopy
at a Pet Smart where I was volunteering for BARC (just
before Christmas) and it was love at first sight. I had
recently adopted Gypsy from BARC a few months prior. Thanks
to my Beagles I am ready for a three dog night.
Beagles Rule! |

The dogs had some special Purina puppy ice cream on their
birthday, and loved it! We can't get enough of our babies.
Tag and Cash bring so much joy to our life, and are the
center of ALL attention whenever there is a crowd over. I
swear they put on a show! Our friends say they are the only
dogs that they'll let lick them, and they LOVE to lick. I go
bike riding with them every morning, and they love every
minute of it. Thank you for having such a great organization
to have brought these babies to us! |
|
Jake seems very happy here... we are all doing well.
He is loved. |
 |
|
 |
Emma is doing AWESOME! We've been through the Petsmart
beginner training class and we are completely bonded now. .
She is truly a HAPPY dog! I love her so much! Thank you very
much for saving her! If it wasn't for BARC, we wouldn't have
found each other. I recommend you to everyone I know that
wants a beagle. . |
|
We have had Blue for a few weeks now and she is such a great
dog! We are so happy that she is a part of our family now.
She loves to go on walks around the neighborhood and to play
with her toys. She is fitting in well with us and our other
beagle, Cookie. We are so thankful that we were able to
adopt Blue from such a great organization! . |

We have had Eva a total of 4 weeks and we love her like
she has been part of the family for years. Eva loves
going for walks and car rides. She is also a bed hog
for such a small little girl but we don't mind sharing the
bed with her. Missy and Eva love to play tug-of-war
together. Eva tries her best to win but Missy is a lot
bigger and stronger. Thank you for letting us take Eva
and give her the love that she so much deserves and needed. |

Sweet Charlotte and her older beagle brother Max take a
long nap on a comfortable couch after a big day of play. |

This sweet puppy is now named Snoopy. We are really
enjoying him, and I think he likes us too! He's
such a good boy!
Thanks so much for our happy little guy!

We got Bucky when he was just 8 weeks old. He's become a
member of our family and is great with our kids and their
friends. Bucky has a sweet personality and likes to be held.
He loves to retrieve a tennis ball; he's a fast little
runner! He is healthy and happy. We love having him in our
family! |

Barnaby is such a good little dog and I
really enjoy his company. The first day my dog claimed the
really nice blanket that one of his foster homes had given
him, but
that night she got her comeuppance when he decided, he
preferred her
bed! They are so silly.

Mylee the beagle and her brother Knuckles the boxer are
great playmates and get along wonderfully. They love
each other and are playing together more than ever. |
 |
|
 |
Izzy the young beagle is much loved by her new buddy Jax.
They play until she tired and then they sleep side by side.
The entire family adores her! |
|
Sweet little Winston, the beagle mix, found a new best
friend in Willis. Beagles usually do better in two's
and three's. Twice the fun and love! |
 |
|
 |
This is one lucky beagle! She had a pitiful past
but is now living an ideal life. Emma has people that
love her a lot and a beagle buddy named Zoe as a new
best friend.
"I can't thank you enough for her. She has brought so
much joy and happiness into our lives. She is happy and
doing well." |
|
Hard to believe that there's any beagle in Emily, until
you hear her bark. Thank you BARC for allowing her
beagle mom to have her puppies while safely in your care.
She is sweet and smart and a much loved addition to our
home. |

Henry is doing great. He has really warmed up to me. He
hardly barks. He loves his walks. I walk him
morning and night.
He loves to play with his toys and he loves to snuggle in my
blankets. He is really a sweet boy. He was so excited when I
got home yesterday after being gone a few hours. He ran and
ran from the garage into the house about 3 or 4 times. Then
he snuggled with me on the couch. It was just cute. |
|
Many of you have been
wondering when you would hear baby news from us. Well,
it’s finally here…we decided to adopt a one year old little
boy. I know it sounds sudden but the adoption was
fairly simple and quick. The little boy was abandoned
by his previous parents. Once we met him we could not resist
his beautiful eyes and shiny red hair. We knew in an
instant we could give him a good home with lots of love and
attention. We were able to pick him up this afternoon
so he could be with us for Christmas. We are so
excited to have him and know his life will be full of love. |
 |
The only thing better than one beagle is two!
Barney and Eddie are lucky to be brothers since they were both
adopted by the same great couple. The younger boy Barney has to
teach the elder Eddie how to play since it was a part of life that
he had not yet known. When the boys are not sleeping on the couch
they are playing tag in the yard. They are two much loved dogs.

Hunter is
a sweet, gentle, calm and loving boy. He and
his beagle sister Daisy both sleep under the covers with us
at night. During the day we will find them playing and
chasing each other around the house. He enjoys daily
walks where he can use his beagle nose to sniff the
flowers and rabbits. One of his favorite pastimes is lying
on the back of the couch where he can watch the world go by.
We are so lucky to have adopted Hunter. He’s a sweetheart
that we'll love forever.

Meet Bentley. She was quickly adopted by her foster
family since she fit so well into their pack. She was
given up by a someone that could no longer care for her and
adopted by a family that will now spoil her forever.
Fostering is a good way to give a second chance to a dog and
find a new best friend. |

Bowie is thrilled to have an owner who works from home.
He gets a lot of attention from his owner and also play time
with dogs of family and friends. He settled quickly
into his new home and put on a few pounds that were needed
to keep this beagle boy happy and healthy! |

Fonzie is shown here with his beagle buddy Daisy.
This lucky beagle who was once a stray is now loving life
with a couple that adores him and he has plenty of playtime
with the six other dogs in the house. |

.In just one short week Libbie has become part of our
family and everyone just loves her. Her first day here was
party central and she got to meet everyone in the family
plus some family friends. She and Oliver were both totally
exhausted that night. She has adjusted so well. In fact
we call her "Miss" Libbie and she has taken over my
couch!!. She and Oliver get along great! |
Maddie will go, go, go; then, sleep so hard! She loves to chase & be chased. She's eating well and
is very polite when taking food - at dinner she sits ON
HER OWN and waits until last for her bowl to be put
down. And, she eats "like a lady". She's one big
love packaged in a petite frame. She loves to "hunt"
geckos along the wall in the back yard. She also loves
to go on walks . . . everything's a new adventure.

This middle-aged beagle had a short stay in foster care
before being adopted by a couple that adores him.
Before too long in his new home he went on his first
vacation to San Diego to a pet friendly hotel on the beach.
This lucky and loved dog is now named Diego and his owners
are recently engaged! Best wishes to Gretchen and Tim
and to their long and happy life together with Diego! |
|
Minnie is doing great. We actually changed her name to
Lucy, and she's beginning to respond to it. She and Charlie
have quickly become best friends and follow each other
everywhere. Lucy's quite smart and can sometimes get
herself into trouble, but we are working on being more
careful about leaving food on the counter (she's quite a
climber!) and closing doors (she can open doors if they
aren't shut all the way!). Thanks for helping us find Lucy
and bringing her into our family. |

Karmi has been the perfect addition to the
family and she made herself
right at home the first day. There are daily wrestling
matches in the
backyard and howling contests, and both her and my other
beagle, Chloe,
are happy to finally have constant playmates. She is such a
sweetheart, and her tail's always wagging a mile a minute.
She's full
of energy and makes a great running partner, and she makes
friends
everywhere we go. |

Senorita Lolita is the sweetest dog that has ever been in
this house - and there have been many! She came into
my life as my foster dog and quickly found her place in my
pack and in my heart. She is so appreciative to be
with other dogs and people and know that she's got her
"forever home" with us. She loves to take naps outside
in the sun and is the first one to the door when it's time
to take a walk. We are so very lucky to have her. |
|
Chip is a dog that should be cloned - who could ever
believe that this guy was abandoned in his first year of
life? He came to our home weighing only 14 pounds and
could squeeze through the pool fence. After one week
of a lot of love and many treats he is no longer able to
do this. He plays like a puppy but behaves champ.
He puts his paws on your shoulder like he's giving a hug and
will be the best friend of anyone in the family that will
let him bury himself in their bed. |

Cleo is adjusting quite well to her new home and loves
walks. She is quite fond of chasing lizards and runs
around bushes, tries to get under the bushes, and jumps on
top of the bushes to try to get the lizards. She never
catches them, of course, but keeps trying. |
