Summer Beaglefest was a great success.   Thanks to all the beagles who attended, including several prize winning beagles, and brought their parents along to enjoy contests, raffles, and sunshine.

Dog Days of Summer

The calendar says it is getting closer to summertime, even if the weather doesn’t agree yet.

As the temperatures rise so does the risk for injury and even death to dogs, related to heat. The best way to deal with canine heat stroke is to prevent it.
Here are some great tips from beagle owner and friend of Seattle Beagle Rescue, Paws with No Flaws, to keep your canine friends safe.

Short-muzzles, dark-coated, long-haired, very young, very old and overweight dogs are of greatest risk of heat related illness.

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.

Looking for Beagle stories

We received the following at Seattle Beagle Rescue headquarters.  Read on for a great opportunity for your beagle.

Draw the Dog website is in the very early stages of launching, and we will post one new dog cartoon each day. These cartoons are a bit unique, because they draw themselves. We have a few samples here:

http://www.drawthedog.com 

Most of the cartoons will be based on a dog submitted by its owners. So they are looking for stories about real dogs and their real antics. They would especially like to include a Beagle cartoon in our early group. Send in your favorite story about something amusing, remarkable or plain silly their dog has done?

Jim George draws each cartoon. He is an ex-Disney animator who has created many characters for movies and TV. He's remarkably talented. It's not often you get to have your dog made famous by an artist from the movie industry.

Send your stories to Bruce (bruce@nowpossible.com).
