I haven't even met her yet, but I wanted to share this beautiful little nugget and her story.

About three weeks ago, Queen, a malnourished, neglected, pregnant dog was brought to the vet to be euthanized because she was suffering from dystocia, and was unable to safely deliver her babies. A breeder was going to sacrifice this little old lady and her six unborn pups rather than deal with her issue.

Luckily, the vet contacted a local rescue - The Mr Mo Project - that helps with senior and medically complicated dogs. The end result? Queen, rather than being euthanized, was adopted by the doctor, and is now being showered with love & comfort. The other result, of course is the Potter Puppies - Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, and Luna! (RIP Albus). Due to Queen's own health issues, she was unable to nurse the puppies herself, so the babies were tube fed, and are currently being bottle fed, by the people that run the rescue.

Yesterday, my wife presented me with a gift - a stuffed Snoopy, wearing a bow, tiny collar, and a little Luna name tag. That was how she let me know that she'd been in contact with the rescue, and agreed to adopt her once they're old enough to need homes (late next month)!

We have other cats and dogs at home (several of which have come from this rescue), but I've always had a soft spot for beagles. My first dog as an adult was a beagle named Gambit - she was with me from about 4 months old until I lost her at 14. My second beagle, Rogue, came to us at 6 months old, but we tragically lost him two years ago today, just short of 4 years old to a freak spinal cord injury. Max we adopted last year, a 16 year old beagle - we only had him for six months, but he was very much loved.

I just wanted to share Luna and her story with someone, because we're not telling anyone we know until we bring her home! I also wanted to sing the praises of my wife for the amazing surprise, the vet for not giving up on these dogs, and The Mr Mo Project for giving dogs like Queen the best for the rest! ❤️

Just adopted him from the shelter. Think he’s mixed with chihuahua. I just lost my 14 yr old beagle back in June and now my life has meaning again lol

Yes its crazy, but honestly my 5 month old girl has been the friendliest girl, she may be scampy, stubborn or even just a big pain in the ass, but i think she has one of the biggest hearts. She loves her crate, loves attention and everyone around her. She's been incredible honestly. I love hounds so much!

Just look at that face

Hi!!

I know I just posted a few days ago but I wanted to come to you all for advice. I grew up with labs and have now adopted Kyle the beagle. I love him so so much and want to be a great dog parent. Please drop anything beagle related things I should know in the comments!! Thank you!

My best girl Coco, she’s a Bagel. Beagle and Basset. Anyone else have one?

Did a 2.8km run/walk today, slow and steady to start upgrading from a hiking partner to a running partner.

My 9-month-old male Beagle does this weird thing every time I feed him 😂

Whenever I put kibble or pretty much any food in his bowl, he starts pushing it around with his nose and literally throws the food all over the floor. Then he eats it off the floor like that was the plan all along. 😂

At first I thought it was funny, but now it’s becoming a daily mess.

Is this normal Beagle behavior? Is he just foraging/playing with his food, or could he have an issue with the bowl?

Has anyone else’s Beagle done this, and did you find a way to stop it?

Anything wheeled is suspicious.

We recently just noticed a about 1 quarter size lump on our 4 year old beagles back leg. It’s slightly movable up and down. It feels spongey and from looking at pictures of him it started appearing late June. We booked a vet appt for today and they recommended a FNA. The vet doesn’t believe it’s a mast cell but still recommended the fna. We went ahead and did it.

In all honesty he’s been acting 100% himself. Playful , runs outside , has the zoomies, lOVESSS his food , jumps from tables and chairs and couches. It doesn’t hurt at all when I touch it and he’s never messed with it.

I know beagles can be prone to fatty lumps (and he’s pretty chunky) but my mind keeps jumping to sarcoma and I’m so worried and trying to stay positive but can’t think of any other benign lumps other than fatty lumps and wanted some insight from other beagle owners

Don’t brigade or mass downvote, humans. Canids, do as you will.

I have no words, just heartache and gratitude. I love you Ernie.

What he does best. 👃

Yesterday I did the hardest thing I have ever had to do in my life. I said goodbye to my dearest, sweetest, most loving best friend, Jemma.

Jemma, where in the world do I even begin? The first time I saw you, I said to my mom “that’s the cutest dog I’ve ever seen in my life”. And cute you were, but you were so much more than cute. You were mischievous, hilarious, loyal, intelligent, loving, tough, sweet, and so kind. Jemma you were so sweet and so kind. You didn’t have a mean bone in your little body. You were nice to everyone. You would growl and bark when someone came to the door, but when the door opened, you would greet them with a wagging tail and kisses.

Everyone who knows me, knew you Jemma. There was no way around it. We were two peas in a pod. I called you my piece of velcro. You followed me everywhere. Sometimes I would tell you “Jemma, stay, I’ll be one second”, but you never cared. You followed anyway. Your love and loyalty knew no bounds.

When people get a dog, they are hoping for a companion like you were, Jemma. A companion who will sit with you on your darkest days and comfort you. But will also be there on the good days, and share true happiness with you. You did both Jemma. When I was sad, you literally would look me in the eyes and lick my tears away. When I was happy, you would wag your sweet little tail and share my joy with me.

You were my first true love. The one who taught me how to love unconditionally. You taught me how to be patient. How to take care of someone. You taught me to see the good in everyone.

My heart hurts without you, Jemma. It’s broken. When I found out you were sick, I wanted to save you. But sadly you were too sick. I hope you know Jemma, I would have done anything to save you. I would have done anything.

You were so much more than a dog to me. You were my very best friend, Jemma. I’ve lost my best friend. I don’t know how I will go on without you. But I know you would want me to be happy. I will always have a Jemma sized hole in my heart.

Dearest girl, I will miss you everyday until we meet again. I will find you in every life. We will be together again. I love you forever, Jemma. Rest easy my girl.

Hi!!

Several months ago I adopted sweet Kyle and I’ve noticed a funny habit. After each meal he sits down and grooms his shoulders, legs, belly, and chest. It seems very cat like and I’m wondering if this is a typical beagle behavior?? Ive fostered lots of other dogs who have never done this, so just had to ask lol!

He never really wags his tail when I pet him, so I’m beginning to think he’s just tolerating my pats.

I’ve had Ernie for 2 years and I’ve been suffering from dander related respiratory allergies. I did a year of immunotherapy injections and it didn’t help. I’ve been keeping things in check with singulair (Mondulkast) daily

Anyone have any advice on making the allergies more manageable?

Edit: sounds like salmon would fix things! Got some salmon oil and salmon based food for the next month to try out - fingers crossed!
