Beagle Rescue 2009 Calendars |
NEW!!! |
After a couple years off, we are back to doing our fabulous world-famous
Beagle Rescue Calendar! Get your cameras out and get snapping.
Here's how it works. The models on our calendar aren't show dogs or
professional models, they're all REAL beagles. The beautiful lovely quirky
hounds that share our lives.
For $30 donation to "sponsor" a date square, we'll put a small photo of your
dog along with a message, in one of the date squares of the calendar. It
could be a birthday wish, an adoption anniversary, an "in memory of", or almost
anything you want. Then, out of the photos we receive, an impartial panel of judges will select
the Beagle Supermodels who will appear on the cover and the full page Beagle-Of-The-Month spots.
You can submit your information and payment online
and
email your
photos to us. Or you can print a hardcopy form
(Word document) fill it out and mail us prints. Keep in mind that the higher resolution
you submit, the better the photo will look blown up and thus the better your
chances of being selected for the large monthly spots. Another thing to keep in
mind that might help you win one of the big spots is that we like character :-)
Take a peek at the 2006 calendar for inspiration. The deadline
for photo submissions is the end of April.
Let us
know if you have any questions.

Oh Mickey, you're so fine |
|
 ...
at least now you are. Mickey recently came to Seattle Beagle Rescue
from a Tacoma shelter and wasn't in such great shape when he arrived.
But thanks to the vets and staff at VCA Redmond Animal Hospital he's doing
well now after a busy, but hectic and expensive week. In one short
week, Mickey was neutered on Tuesday then had FHO (hip surgery) on Friday.
Even if you've never had surgery yourself you can imagine how scary it must
have been for Mickey to go under the knife twice within a few days while not
understanding what was happening to you. And you know Mickey is a
brave and special little guy.
 While
physically he's doing OK, financially he's in a bit of a bind. Mickey had to smash
open his
piggy bank to pay for his surgery. He's hoping some very generous
beagle-lovers can restock his and Seattle Beagle Rescue's funds. Click the button below to help us out.
The good news is that both surgeries went well and Mickey is headed to a foster
home this week. Even better for him, recovery does not require R&R but he
actually needs to exercise his leg, so regular walks are on the schedule.
And what Beagle wouldn't love that. He should be better than new and ready to
find a forever home after a few weeks.
 Some
rescue stories are a bit more memorable than others. Charlie was adopted
from Seattle Beagle Rescue last fall at the young age of 16 by a family in
Boise, Idaho. She's just celebrated her first birthday in her new home.
Her parents wrote to tell us all about it.
 We
had a little 17th birthday party for Charlie. She got a cake - and even ate a
piece of it too! She had many presents from us and her brothers, friends and
grandparents - yes my parents even participated! She was very happy and
knew it was all about her. She is doing really well, still running around and
eating all of the time. We love her so much. And of course, her brothers Apollo
and Cooper do too. We are doing very well, and have had a lot of fun with the
dogs. Talk to you soon...
FOSTER VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
Every day we get calls from shelters or from individuals asking if we can help save a beagle. Our ability to help is dependant on whether we have a foster home open. If you have room in your home and your heart for a temporary floppy-eared house guest, please let us know - you'll truly be saving a life!
Please consider filling out this form to join our family of foster volunteers.
