The face in the photo melted our heartsbeagle rescue story

About a week ago my boyfriend and I decided we wanted a puppy. We were set on a smaller dog such as a Boston Terrier or Pug. I was at work one day and visiting the local kijiji puppy postings when I saw this 12 week old beagle puppy advertised only about a half hour outside of town. The price was right and the face in the picture melted my boyfriends and my heart. I emailed him immediately and made arrangements to pick him up. The current owner would not give me his address only his cell number and refused to let me go to his home and see the puppy. I picked up the puppy in a McDonalds parking lot and right then I knew why he wouldn’t let me go to his home. When he brought the puppy out of the car he was soaking wet, covered in feces and his ribs were clearly showing, this puppy was abused and malnurished.

When he saw us he immediately ran over and my boyfriend and I knew we had to take him, I couldn’t live with myself if I let this adorable 12 week old puppy go home with these horrible owners.

We decided to name him Dexter and from the moment we drove him away from his previous owner he has been forever grateful. When we got him home he could not run due to what we think was that he was left in a crate day in and day out with no chance to use his legs. The first day he came home he went to the groomers to give him a bath and get all the nasty stuff that was stuck in his fur, the groomer told me she had to bath him twice due to the amount of fecal matter and dirt in his fur and he smelled like he had been locked in a kennel for days.

He has been home for a week now and is running, playing, socializing with other dogs and claiming his official spot on our bed right between my boyfriend and I.

We are so glad we adopted him and to anybody thinking about getting a puppy, I recommend a beagle.
