My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Conall has a 6/6 heart murmur caused by a hole between his left and right ventricles. The vet said it is not something that can be surgically repaired, and it's unlikely that it will close on its own (though it IS possible...hope springs eternal). The left atrium and ventricle are already enlarged. He is at risk for congestive heart failure, among other things. The plan is that he will start pimobendan and have a recheck in 6 months to gauge how the left side of the heart is doing. As far as activity, I should restrict him from acting like a maniac as much as possible

He's definitely going to need a special owner who understand and accepts that he might not live as long as a dog without a heart condition. That said, he is the sweetest boy...he was so brave for the echocardiogram and the tech told me that his blood draw was very undramatic!!

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

We require submission of an online application. If all requirements are met, we do a home visit and check the vet reference (when it applies). Please refer to our website to see the kinds of questions we ask. We ask for a tax-deductible adoption donation of $400. All dogs are spayed/neutered, up-to-date on their shots (rabies, distemper and parvo, bordetella), are heartworm negative and on heartworm preventative, micro-chipped and de-wormed.

Go meet their pets

We do not have a centralized location, but you can visit our website to find out when and where we hold our adoption events (usually twice a month). We also take part in special fairs and events. You can come and meet with some of our dogs then.
If you see a dog on our website that you are interested in, we request that you first fill out our Application and submit it electronically.

More about this rescue

Beagle Rescue of Southern Maryland is dedicated to helping all beagles in need. Most of the dogs that come into the rescue are hunter rejects, either because they do not want to hunt, or because they are too old or simply ill. Our goal is to rehabilitate these wonderful companion dogs and place them in forever loving homes. We are a network of foster homes and rely solely on the dedication of volunteers. Our motto is: "Hug your hound, don't take him to the pound."
