Big on Beagles Rescue

Big on Beagles Rescue Big on Beagles (BOB) Rescue is a Toronto/Durham Region-based assistance agency for beagles experiencing troubled times. We're here for the under-beagle.

Our focus is the rescue of senior beagles, sick, injured, and those suffering from emotional trauma. BOB is here to help the not so fortunate, i.e. abandoned special needs beagles including senior beagles - some with serious and/or chronic health issues, those in desperate need of medical procedures, those suffering from physical or emotional trauma terminally ill, the sad scenarios are endless. I

n a nutshell, BOB lends a paw to the under-Beagle in need of a second chance. Beagles entering BOB's program are usually coming from animal shelters that have not been successful in matching them with families, deeming them 'Unadoptable' to the general public. The kind staff working at these facilities will call BOB for assistance. Giving up on an unwanted beagle is not an option for these caretakers and BOB is always grateful for their phone calls. Sometimes, it's quiet on the rescue front and BOB can focus on its long-term care palliative beagles. Other times, the calls are pouring in and there are not enough BOB foster parents available. That's why BOB is always sniffing out reliable, dedicated beagle lovers who are willing to open their doors and their hearts to a down-on-his-luck beagle until a permanent home can be found. Fostering is not easy, mind you, but your efforts are rewarded tenfold when that beagle finds the perfect family - all because of YOU!!! To learn more about fostering or adoption, visit our web site at bigonbeagles.ca

On the other paw, if you own a beagle and can no longer care for him, you are also welcome to contact BOB. We understand that unforeseen circumstances can lead to such a heartbreaking decision. BOB will lend support and advice on how to find a new home for your companion. In fact, BOB may have a prospective owner looking for a beagle right now and your dog may be a potential match. The work BOB performs for the love of beagles is not without sacrifice and an unwavering commitment to the cause. Veterinary care for our beagles is expensive, but we make a promise to every dog that enters our program, ensuring the dogs get all they need right from the start. Even if you're unable to foster or adopt, you can still help by making a donation so that more beagles can benefit from our specialized care. Your support, no matter the size, makes an impact to the lives of our Beagles and means so very much to us. On behalf of the beagles in our care, thank you for your kind interest by visiting our page.

Freya’s faithful servants at BOB would like to thank you all for your prayers and well wishes. Freya is enjoying some much deserved R & R at Howling Heights this weekend. Oh to see her smile again…❤️

Yesterday was a long and emotionally draining day for us. And yet, we are so very touched by your messages of encouragement and love for Freya. Those messages got us through the worst of it.

Ever since her arrival in the fall of 2022, Freya has been such a blessing. She may be a bit clumsy, lacking in social graces, and unrefined but she has always possessed such purity of heart. She is a light we never want to see go out. But things got awfully dark for us yesterday.

We’d like to think all your prayers made a difference because Freya did come home with us last night, and that’s all that matters. For how long, we don’t know. Our veterinary team concluded that she’s suffering from a secondary infection so we’re praying a course of heavy duty antibiotics will help to give us more time together. But the sad truth is, her heart condition is clearly accelerating. In just a matter of weeks, her heart murmur has jumped from a Grade Level 5/6 to 6/6 and X-rays show that her heart is severely enlarged.

We know this bit of good fortune is temporary but we’ll take it. She’s so happy to be home with us and we’re so happy to have her back, effortlessly lighting up our hearts with something we can’t exactly explain.

Please pray for our Freya. She was rushed to hospital this morning with heart complications. We are currently awaiting t...

Please pray for our Freya. She was rushed to hospital this morning with heart complications. We are currently awaiting the radiologist report which has been marked as urgent. It is the waiting that hurts the most right now.

Busy day for our new girls, Esther & Marigold, today!

It was their first visit to our own vet to re-check their ear infections and vaccinate Esther. Ears look great! Teeth are great too thanks to foster mom who has been brushing them daily! They kinda like the chicken-flavoured toothpaste! 🤭

As for Esther’s skin condition, we’re starting a 4-6 week food trial to see if it’s a food allergy. Whatever caused all the built up scarring, it’s still active and we need to pinpoint the cause.

We’ll also be arranging a cardio ultrasound prior to spay for Esther as she definitely has at least a Gr. Level 3 heart murmur. We won’t take any risks. They’re both far too precious!

Miss Marigold comes back for her booster next week! And then, it’s spay time. But we won’t tell her about that for now. She’s just starting to see how wonderful life can be.

Speaking of wonderful, the best part of today was coming HOME to their favourite couch ! ❤️❤️

Busy week this week between preparing for our BEAGLE WIGGLE WALK at Slobberfest this Saturday and important vet checkups for these three babies!

Liesl and Hiram were a delight to see again! Aside from some mild enzyme elevations, the pair are right as rain! Oops, don’t say the “R” word, Marna!

Freya was also in for an unexpected heart checkup. She’s a constant worry. Our vet put her back on Furosemide though and we’re already seeing improvement! But please keep her in your thoughts! 🙏
