Inside “The Hound” – who we are
May 28th, 2011
Have you ever thought who the hound in this business is? You might also be wondering why there’s no picture to go with the “About Us” section. Well, the hound’s name was Susie, and she was very camera shy. Susie had a rough beginning when I adopted her and here is her story.
Seven years ago, I came across this 2-year-old female beagle available for adoption through BREW (Beagle Rescue, Education and Welfare) which then became known as Beagles of New England States (BONES) (www.bonesbeagles.org). I immediately applied for Susie and received word that I could visit her at her foster home. I drove to western Massachusetts to meet the little girl. Susie was very shy and timid. The only way I could say “hello” was to sit on the floor with my back to her and my hands on the floor behind me. Susie would then come and sniff my hands. After a brief visit, I drove home knowing that as shy as she was, she was going to be mine. I confirmed with BONES that Susie was the beagle for me. Once her vet care and spaying were all complete, I got word that she was ready to be adopted.
